There’s no doubt that Australia’s functional beverage industry has continued to grow. With mindful and health conscious consumers dominating the market – the industry is opting for natural and functional products that deliver specific health benefits.

In a thriving and somewhat ’trendy’ market, health-related beverages are now coming in all shapes and forms – from healthy (and colourful) lattes, through to new and innovative kombucha offerings, something that will be evident across the Naturally Good Expo in Sydney this April.

Nutra Organics are one to watch as leaders in the industry with their range of superfood chai infusions. The infusions are used to make lattes with certified organic ingredients and new products include their Velvet Latte (pink beetroot chai latte), Mermaid Latte (blue butterfly pea flower), and a Golden Latte (turmeric manuka honey chai).

Golden Grind are also making their mark on the industry with their unique offerings, with majority of their products being first to market and totally unique formulations. Golden Grind will be releasing a number of exciting new products at Naturally Good – including their Turmeric Hot Chocolate.

Across the Kombucha space is Cool Cool Beverages, who have created Australia’s first bottled nitro cold brew. Also ones to watch are Herbal Fix – an Australian manufacturer of 6 natural, functional beverages, which have each been scientifically prepared with a unique combination of organic herbs, vitamins & minerals. 

The 2018 Naturally Good Expo is shaping up to be the biggest and best yet – naturally.

LAST 2 NIGHTS TO CATCH MUST-SEE ‘FEATHERED & FIERCE’ AT SYDNEY FRINGE FESTIVAL

FEATHERED AND FIERCE

2 SHOWS LEFT – FRIDAY 8th & SATURDAY 9th SEPTEMBER!

Review by Roswitha Schleicher – Sydney Events writer for The Australia Times News

Producer Lauren Eisinger and samba sensation Amy Mills take their audience on an emotional journey as they invite them behind the scenes of the glamorous world of samba, in their bold new show Feathered and Fierce.

Stage One at the HPG Festival Hub lays bare, with black curtains usually shielding curious eyes, drawn, blending with the infinite darkness of this vast space, in contrast with the blaze of stage lights.

As the eight performers enter the stage in what appears to be Amazonian inspired ensembles, anticipation rises and the crowd falls silent. Just a few beats into animated samba tunes and the Amy Mills Samba Pro Team bust out a few of their signature dance moves, raising cheers from the audience. And thus, our hour long journey through the dazzling world of samba begins.

Thoughtfully choreographed by World Solo Samba Champion Amy Mills, Feathered & Fierce reveals a story of passion and dedication through the world of Latin dance. With multiple on-stage costume changes and numerous moving performances accompanied by a contemporary playlist, Amy and her team lead their audience on a journey, unveiling the various aspects and emotional ups and downs of preparing for the big samba stage.

This unique show is every bit as personal and mesmerising as producer Lauren Eisinger intended, and has proven to be one of the ‘must-see’ performances of this year’s Sydney Fringe Festival.
