Award‑Winning Fermented Drinks for Gut Health, Crafted in North Devon
PiQi is a Devon‑based producer of organic, vegan, fermented water kefir, creating naturally sparkling, gut‑friendly drinks packed with live cultures. Based at Venn Valley Winery in Landkey, near Barnstaple, PiQi supplies the growing demand for non‑alcoholic, health‑focused soft drinks that combine flavour, function and sustainability.
Living Drinks, Made the Traditional Way
PiQi specialises in raw, unpasteurised water kefir, fermented slowly in small batches using traditional brewing methods. Unlike many commercial soft drinks, PiQi’s kefirs are:
- Naturally fermented
- Never heat‑treated or pasteurised
- Packed with billions of live probiotic cultures
- Made using organic, dairy‑free ingredients
The result is a refreshing, naturally effervescent drink that supports gut health while delivering complex, botanical‑led flavours.
Founded by husband and wife Aksana and Nick, PiQi was born of a desire to support gut health on a plant‑based diet. The founders strongly believe in the connection between what we consume, personal well-being, and the wider planet, with PiQi positioned firmly within the growing movement towards functional, ethical food and drink.
A Distinctive Flavour Range
PiQi’s core range includes a variety of water kefir flavours, crafted with uplifting botanicals, fruits and spices. Popular varieties include:
- Ginger & Lemon
- Grapefruit & Cardamom
- Fig Water Kefir
Each flavour is designed to be light, refreshing and gently complex, offering an appealing alternative to sugary soft drinks or alcohol.
