Consumer Critique - Säti Soda

In October 2019, David McLaughlin and Paul Devlin – both with decades of sales experience in the health and nutrition category – launched Säti Soda, later to be joined by a third partner (and David’s wife), Heather Brown. (Säti references mindfulness.)

Their ambitious goal: to create the country’s very first organic CBD-infused soda – a truly game-changing beverage that at long last would meet the rapidly growing retail, consumer and foodservice demand for a deliciously pure ready-to-drink soda free of the chemicals, artificial sweeteners and additives normally associated with traditional soda products. In 2023, they also introduced a line of non-CBD-infused products. Both are available in three flavors - Energy Berry, Chill Ginger and Clarity Lemon-Lime.

I had a chance to try out the non-CBD versions. They are low in calories and carbs, but contain a decent amount of helpful nutrients, like yerba mate. They're also very low in sugar, containing just enough sweetness (without using artificial sweeteners). The flavor is definitely refreshing as well - better than a lot of sparkling waters I've tried. It's a great middle ground for people who like the real flavor of sodas but don't want all the sugar. Säti Soda’s non-CBD-infused beverages are available on the www.satisoda.com site, on Amazon.com, and other online food and beverage retailers.

 

“We wanted to disrupt the notion that soda has to be bad for you,” says Säti Soda’s Founder and CEO David McLaughlin. “We use organic ingredients so our sodas taste great without being sweet. We are not a probiotic or prebiotic soda; we’re simply a functional soda that people can enjoy drinking multiple times per day. We’re excited to be a part of the whole ‘better for you’ beverage movement and will continue to work diligently to meet the needs of our valued retail clients and their customers while always striving to live up to our mandate of being the country’s definitive Organic Soda Company.”

About Säti Soda                        

Founded five years ago by David McLaughlin, Heather Brown and Paul Devlin, Colorado-based Säti Soda (http://satisoda.com) manufactures the only organic CBD soda on the U.S. market today. Named after säti, a Buddhist word that can reference mindfulness, American-made Säti Soda is not only a deliciously nutritious line of functional beverages, but a brand that’s making it possible to join four words together that once seemed destined to remain apart forever: better for you soda.

Fast becoming the ready-to-drink soda of choice in natural/organic stores as well as in mainstream retailers (and soon to expand into foodservice channels as well), Säti Soda offers certified organic CBD-infused sodas in three delectable flavors: Energy Berry, Clarity Lemon-Lime and Chill Ginger. Säti Soda’s CBD-infused sodas contain no THC and are made by infusing water with CBD particles and all organic ingredients. The company’s recently introduced non-CBD-infused sodas are offered in the same three thirst-quenching flavors.

 

Consistent with the company’s commitment to helping the world, Säti Soda is partnered with 1% For The Planet, donating 1% of all sales to Conscious Alliance, which provides healthy meals to underserved communities. More info at www.satisoda.com.
