Obì
African bitters with blood orange cutting through
Be the first to sip →In Igbo and Yoruba culture, the kola nut is the first thing offered to a guest. To receive it is to be seen. To offer it is to honor. The kola nut ceremony is not a ritual — it is the foundation of West African hospitality. ZZAI Obì brings that significance into a sparkling can. Bold kola, layered bitters, blood orange that cuts through. For those who reach for amaro, craft bitters, or a Campari soda and want something interesting to sip on. Made with real cane sugar, no artificial anything. Contains naturally occurring caffeine from kola nut.

The drink, the people, the place.
The kola nut is sacred across West Africa — offered to guests as the first sign of welcome. Obì layers bold kola with bitters and a blood-orange finish.
Obi by ZZAI carries the kola tradition forward as a sparkling African bitters drink: kola extract, natural bitters, and blood orange in a deeper, more complex pour. It is earthy, lightly sweet, and made for people looking beyond ordinary cola or soda.
Best for anyone searching for an African bitters drink, kola nut drink, bitters soda, or a bold botanical drink with naturally occurring caffeine from kola.
