FEARLESSLY GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND

Traditionally brewed with the African spirit- Exquisitely Crafted for the brave. From my origins In Torit South Sudan, whenever there is a gathering, celebration or special occasion there will be family and friends, the whole community in fact drinking AKENE, so when I came to New Zealand, I searched high and wide for this elusive elixir of home, after 17 years of searching I have decided to combine my own desires with my tertiary business education, to produce AKENE, so as to address an unsatisfied need and open Kiwis to a new thirst quenching beverage, which is good for the body as well as the soul.

AKENE is a dynamic and innovative African beverage company that is dedicated to crafting and sharing traditional African beverages with Australasian restaurants, clubs, festivals and community events in all shapes and sizes.
