History

We had an idea.  We wanted create a soft drink & a tea that was healthy for you. It would be the Yoga of soft drinks. It would taste good and it would make you feel good and refreshed.

Zorro is being launched both forms – Herbal Cola & Herbal Tea.

“Zorro Cola” is a cola soft drink based on an ancient recipe that is about 1500 years old. It is comprised of over fifty herbs from different parts of the world, including the kola nut. The kola nut has been used as a tea, sweetened health drink, medicine, and even salad for thousands of years. In West Africa, where it originated and was first cultivated, it is still eaten in its basic red nut form as a stimulant and diet aid. It has even been used for religious purposes. It has many health benefits. In addition to containing caffeine, it also has antioxidant properties and is used to treat diseases like leprosy.

“Zorro Tea” is the herbal tea based on an ancient recipe that is more than 1500+ years old. It is comprised of over fifty herbs from different parts of the world.

But if this is so, why are commercial colas, like other soft drinks, not good for you? The answer is that they are not the soft drinks of old. Though they have become popular worldwide, commercial cola drinks are very unhealthy in large quantities. Many chemicals and non-natural substances are used in cola drinks.

A recent study claimed that most cola drinks no longer even contain the kola nut that originally lent its name to this kind of soft drink, let alone any of the other natural ingredients that went into the original formulae. So, people drinking modern commercial colas aren’t getting the original health benefits of that distinctive taste. To add insult to injury, phosphoric acid used in most cola drinks can cause kidney disease.

Soft drinks weren’t originally intended to be empty foods and certainly not to be bad for you. Carbonated drinks were first invented in Europe in the 18^th century and marketed by Johann Jacob Schweppe, a German watchmaker. Schweppe believed that carbonated water was good for you. In fact, the first commercial soft drink, Schweppe’s quinine-laced tonic water, was invented in 1771 as an early protection against malaria.

John Pemberton, a pharmacist, created the most famous cola in Columbus, Georgia in 1886. He first invented Coca-Cola as a coca wine and then a patent medicine, before Asa Griggs Candler bought him out and bottled it as a soft drink. People soon realized that soft drinks weren’t just good for you – they tasted good, too. Solf drinks weren’t only popular in the United States. Other early soft drinks still in existence include Inca Kola (1910) from Peru and Laranjada (1872) from Portugal.

Zorro was invented/incepted in the tradition of the discipline of Yoga. Zorro is basically a Treasure having an ancient history. Though not a medicine, or intended that way, it hearkens back to the early days of soft drinks, when these drinks were supposed to taste good and be good for you. Welcome to the Age of Zorro.
