Our Story

From a Beverage Idea to a Strong Brand

The story of Ola Hibiscus Berry began with Mapa Kuruyemiş's quest to bring its expertise in fruit and dried fruit together into a new product. The pectin project carried out with the support of TÜBİTAK in 2018 yıl did not remain just a technical study. It transformed into a beverage concept that adds more value to fruits, adapts to diverse consumption habits, and brings traditional sherbet culture into the present day.

The Balance of Flavor Was Built in the Field

Initial trials were prepared and shared within the team. The positive feedback received demonstrated that the product could reach a wider audience. During a development phase lasting about two years, work focused on ingredients, aroma balance, and drinking profile. Subsequently, during field tastings spanning a year and a half, feedback was gathered from approximately 300 thousand people. These insights were instrumental in shaping Ola Hibiscus Berry's refreshing and balanced character.

Controlled Production, a Local Brand Vision

The product met consumers at MAPA stores in Istanbul and local retail points in Malatya. Supported by GİMDES Halal certification, our production approach is carried out at the facility in the Malatya Organized Industrial Zone. Today, our goal is to bring this homegrown brand to more tables across different cities in Turkey and abroad. While doing so, we continue to preserve the inherent simplicity of the product and its authentic character derived from fruits and herbs.
