The company offers a variety of flavors, including cola, ginger root beer, and black cherry.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The main ingredients in Zevia products are carbonated water, stevia leaf extract, and natural flavors. Some products also contain caffeine, citric acid, and tartaric acid. All ingredients are non-GMO and vegan-friendly.
