BAQUA produces an artisan beverage positioned as a healthy alternative to traditional sports drinks. The drink blends ancient grains such as barley, amaranth, quinoa, oats, chia, buckwheat, and millet with organic juices and is USDA certified organic. It is wheat-free, contains no preservatives or added sugars, and delivers electrolytes and antioxidants, including a full daily allowance of vitamin C per serving. Based in Lexington, Kentucky, BAQUA serves the active lifestyle market with a shelf-stable, 12-ounce bottle designed for convenient hydration on the go. The product's concept stems from the founder's experience with Lemon Barley Water in England, connecting the idea to ancient Greek barley-strength drinks. In the market, it positions itself as an organic alternative to typical sports beverages within the food and beverage services industry.
