Organic Energy from the heart of the Amazon.

We start with acai, the amazing purple berry we harvest from the Amazon basin. Add the Vitamin-C superfruit acerola, along with rainforest botanicals like guarana and yerba mate, and you've got one potent, all-natural energy drink that heightens awareness while boosting your energy and immune system.

And since it's made with the finest organic ingredients, and not a drop of anything artificial, you can say goodbye to jitters and crashes. It's just pure amazon energy, through and through.

Review:
Slightly sour, and fizzy entrance with a Acai flavor rolling just out of reach. Made my teeth feel squeaky like a windshield wiper on a not so rainy day. The drink wears thin in that aside from the entrance there is no flavor as you progress to the end of the can, the flavor is not strong enough to sustain a presence on your tongue. If you are looking for Acai, I do not think that there is enough in here for you. There is however plenty of Vitamin C (750%), which may be the reason for the slightly sour flavor.
