4. Paul Voge Drank a Lot of Sparkling Water Prior to Creating Aura Bora

According to The News Crunch, Paul Voge was not allowed to drink soda when he was growing up so he ended up drinking a lot of sparkling water, which he continued to do as he got older, and after purchasing a SodaStream, the founders decided to play around with new and exciting flavors.

“We happened to have all these herbs and botanicals in our pantry,” the couple said in a statement, according to Bev Industry. “One thing led to another, and Aura Bora was born. It turns out that when you combine real herbal extracts and sparkling water you get vivid flavors, floral aromas and a more natural taste.”

They added, “Finally, consumers can enjoy beverages tailor-made to their palates. Sparkling water aficionados find solace in an escape from the norm.”

5. The Company Launched in January 2020

Aura Bora launched in January 2020 and has since been expanded to 200 retailers across the United States as of six months after their launch. The packaging has been a large part of that.

“Having worked in the creative field for years, I knew our cans could be tributes to the ingredients inside them,” Maddie Voge told Bev Industry. “The colors, landscapes, and cheeky haikus on each can help Aura Bora jump off the shelves the first time, and the taste sells the product each time thereafter.”
