Kootja Juice
Member Overview
Pure Mangosteen Juice: Bringing a Legendary Fruit to Devon. Koota Juice is a Devon‑based juice producer specialising in 100% pure mangosteen juice, a rare tropical fruit celebrated across South‑East Asia as the “Queen of Fruits”. Based in Ashburton, on the edge of Dartmoor, Koota Juice has introduced this distinctive fruit to the UK market through a small but focused range of pure, minimally processed juices with no added sugar or preservatives.
Introducing the Mangosteen to the UK
The mangosteen fruit has long been prized for both its flavour and its nutritional profile, but has historically been difficult to access in the UK. Koota Juice was founded with a clear mission: to make authentic mangosteen juice available in its purest form, without dilution or unnecessary additions.
The company draws inspiration from the fruit’s long history and reputation, often referencing the enduring legend that Queen Victoria once offered a reward for anyone who could successfully bring mangosteen to the UK. While apocryphal, the story reflects the fruit’s almost mythical status and underpins the brand’s sense of discovery.
A Small, Purpose‑Led Juice Range
Koota Juice focuses on quality over quantity, offering a tight lineup of juices made from carefully sourced fruit and blended only where it enhances flavour:
- Original – 100% Mangosteen Juice
- Mangosteen & Lychee (85% mangosteen, 15% lychee)
- Mangosteen & Pomegranate (85% mangosteen, 15% pomegranate)
All products are 100% juice, with no added sugar, no preservatives and no artificial ingredients. The blends are designed to complement mangosteen’s naturally rich, aromatic flavour rather than mask it.
Naturally Rich in Antioxidants
Mangosteen is recognised as a natural source of xanthones, a group of bioactive compounds associated with antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory properties. While Koota Juice avoids exaggerated health claims, the brand positions its juices as a naturally nutrient‑rich, plant‑based drink, appealing to consumers interested in functional wellness through whole foods.
Sustainable Packaging & Brand Ethos
Koota Juice packages its products in fully recyclable glass bottles, with recyclable paper labels and aluminium caps. This packaging choice reflects the brand’s commitment to minimal processing, transparency and environmental responsibility, aligning well with Devon’s broader sustainability‑focused food and drink community.
Devon Roots, National Ambition
Operating from Ashburton, Devon, Koota Juice is firmly rooted in the South West’s independent food and drink scene. Despite working with exotic fruit sourced from South‑East Asia, the brand emphasises careful selection, respectful sourcing and thoughtful production to maintain quality and integrity.
Koota Juice has been featured as an example of an innovative local producer introducing something genuinely new to the UK market.
