Meet the tropical fruit you didn’t know your wellness routine was missing. Lychee is sweet, floral, and refreshingly unique—and it’s the key ingredient in this month’s featured drink at Koko & Karma.

Our Lychee Prebiotic Coconut Water blends the juicy sweetness of real lychee juice with the crisp refreshment of coconut water to support hydration, digestion, and recovery. Our Lychee Prebiotic Coconut Water is made with real lychee juice, not artificial flavors, so every sip tastes naturally light, juicy, and smooth.

Discover what makes lychee such a nourishing ingredient—and how this month’s drink delivers more than just great taste.

Meet Lychee: A Tropical Favorite With a Rich History

Lychee (pronounced lee-chee) comes from Southeast Asia, where it’s been enjoyed for thousands of years. Native to southern China, this small, round fruit has a pinkish-red peel, a firm white interior, and a distinct floral sweetness that sets it apart from other tropical fruits. It’s juicy like a grape but has a fragrant flavor that hints at rosewater or pear.

Lychee is not just a staple of summer fruit stands in Asia—it’s also steeped in tradition. In Chinese medicine, lychee has been used to support circulation and cool the body during hot months. It’s prized for its delicate taste in culinary circles, often used in juices, desserts, or eaten raw.

Lychee has been a staple in Asia for centuries, and now it’s gaining global attention as a go-to ingredient in wellness drinks.

Why Lychee Deserves the Hype

Lychee offers plenty of natural benefits, making it more than a sweet treat. It’s an excellent source of vitamin C, which supports immune health and helps your body produce collagen. That means it’s beneficial to your immune system, as well as your skin, joints, and overall wellness.

It’s also naturally rich in antioxidants, including polyphenols, which help protect cells from oxidative stress. It’s the kind of benefit that builds up over time to have a real impact on your health.

While lychee isn’t a major protein or fiber source, combining it with nutrient-dense ingredients like coconut water and prebiotic fiber—as we’ve done in this month’s featured drink—creates a mix that works harder for your body.

Coconut Water + Lychee: The Ultimate Duo

Coconut water is known for its hydration benefits; when you add lychee, it becomes even more nourishing. Together, they offer a one-two punch: coconut water replenishes lost fluids with natural electrolytes, while lychee adds flavor and wellness-supporting nutrients.

This combo is perfect for summer, when hydration and digestion often need extra help. Whether heading to a morning yoga class, recovering after a run, or cooling off in the afternoon heat, this drink is an easy choice.

Koko & Karma’s Lychee Prebiotic Coconut Water hits the sweet spot between taste and health, with real ingredients in every sip.

What’s in the Can?

Every can of our Lychee Prebiotic Coconut Water delivers a blend of real fruit juice, hydration support, and gut-friendly fiber. Let’s take a closer look at what you’re getting in each serving:

This combo was created to help you feel good from the inside out. And because we use real lychee juice, there’s no need for artificial flavors or additives.

Flavor That Doesn’t Compromise

Taste-wise, it’s a fresh mix of floral lychee and subtly salty coconut water—clean, crisp, and easy to enjoy any time of day.

Some prebiotic drinks can taste heavy or overly earthy—not this one. It’s smooth, crisp, and perfect straight from the fridge, ideal for an afternoon pick-me-up or post-gym hydration.

This is a delightful switch if you’re cutting back on sugary sodas or artificial drinks. And if you’re already a fan of functional beverages, this one brings a unique flavor profile you won’t find anywhere else.

Why We Chose Lychee for June

Summer calls for something cooling and restorative. Lychee hits that perfect balance, both literally and nutritionally. It’s in season, it’s packed with nutrients, and it pairs beautifully with the heat-fighting, electrolyte-rich properties of coconut water.

We also love that it supports digestive wellness—something many people need during busy, travel-filled summer months. With 2.5 grams of prebiotic fiber, this drink supports your gut even when routines change.
