Berlin

The original recipe takes an adventurous route to Berlin-Kreuzberg, where we take care of it. New research and experiments are carried out until the fizzy drinks of yesteryear are resurrected. The original drink “Baikal” sees the light of day again under the name “Tannenwald”. Our brand WOSTOK, which means “the East” in German, is brought to life with her and the adventure really begins.

BIO

We have always been free from artificial flavors and preservatives. From now on, we will only bottle organic. Starting with the pear and rosemary lemonade, we created a really tasty selection over the following years. A total of 7 organic lemonade varieties, three of which unfortunately had to be retired, have become part of the WOSTOK family.

You can look forward to many exciting flavor combinations. Because organic is good, tastes good, and that’s why we also offer organic food!
