ginsa's story

hello! I'm Juliet Kim Blake. as a 20-year veteran in the food and beverage industry launching brands such as ZICO, BodyArmor, Lemon Perfect and Mamma Chia, I increasingly noticed the underrepresentation of Asian ingredients and flavors in our space.

the story of ginsa begins with my personal journey and a love for Korean red ginseng. this ancient powerful root has been a daily part of my life for decades. I personally experience the profound effects of ginseng on my mental clarity and focus with the instant feeling of alertness and awakening.

I noticed that no Korean red ginseng companies were bringing this powerful ingredient into the modern day, choosing to stick to traditional medicinal approaches. I was determined to change that by making ginseng appealing for today’s consumers in a deliciously cool and accessible way.

the choice of ingredient was deliberate. We partner with a highly reputable South Korean company with a patented fermented Korean red ginseng renowned for its superior absorption rate and greater efficacy. the benefits of ginsa are almost immediate. in a busy world like today, time is of the essence and waiting for the effects of a drink to kick in is a luxury we just can’t afford.

ginsa is asparkling ginseng tonic that introduces the rich cultural heritage of Korean red ginseng but with a modern twist, so you can get all the benefits of ginseng but with none of that bitter ginseng bite.
