We’ve gone deep into the Amazon to bring you something super special….
Introducing our new açaí recipe! Made only with sustainably sourced, premium, organic açaí berries! This recipe is the baby of one of our co-owners, Ollie, who has poured his heart and soul into this project to ensure it’s the best for you AND for our planet.
Ollie recently visited Brazil and the Amazon to learn more about where Yo-Chi’s açaí comes from and how we can improve our own recipe. He basically went through his body weight testing açaí to find the perfect balance between creaminess and sweetness, and he definitely hit the jackpot.
We couldn’t have done this without Fernanda, the founder of 100% Amazonia—our supplier in Brazil. She runs an amazing company dedicated to going above and beyond to ensure ethical açaí wholesaling. In full honesty, we were a bit worried about ensuring that the process was ethical, being aware of serious issues like child exploitation, deforestation, and unethical treatment of workers; but with Fernanda on our side, we knew it was possible.
It’s so important that we’re upfront and honest about everything from our ingredients to our supply chain, so it was such a relief to see that 100% Amazonia was on the same page. They’re a B-Corp organisation and one of the most responsible açaí wholesalers in Brazil. We love collaborating with like-minded businesses, and this collaboration not only made some delicious, premium açaí, but a real friendship too. Ollie and Fernanda hit it off on his visit, bonding over all things açaí and sustainability.
But what does that actually mean for you? Let’s break it down: açaí quality is based on the percentage of açaí solids that can be extracted, the standard is 10-12% with the best possible being 16% (however, that’s near impossible to achieved at a commercial scale like Yo-Chi). We are so proud to say that our supply sits at a whopping 14% açaí solids, placing us in the premium group! Only the best, top-line products for you guys.
We guarantee that our new recipe will make your mouths drool with deliciousness.
