01FERMENTED
Kombucha and
fermented beverages
Tea, fermentation and distinctive flavour combinations, with a balance of freshness, acidity and character.
BEVERAGE DEVELOPMENT
A good idea
deserves
its own flavour.
You bring the idea. We develop it into a beverage with a distinct character, a considered ingredient profile and a formulation tailored to your brand.

01 / POSSIBILITIES
What kind of beverage
do you have in mind?
A new category or a fresh take on a familiar flavour. We start with your objective and develop a suitable formulation.
Kombucha and
02REFRESHING
Iced tea
and lemonades
From clean tea profiles to fruit and herbal combinations, with sweetness and intensity shaped around your concept.
03FUNCTIONAL
Functional
beverages
Concepts with plant protein, vitamins or other selected ingredients, developed with attention to taste, compatibility and practical use.
04SPARKLING
Soft drinks
with character
Sparkling teas, fruit drinks and alcohol-free alternatives for different occasions. A distinctive flavour developed around your concept.
02 / THE PROCESS
From “What if…?”
to “That’s the one.”
Product development follows a clear sequence. Each step brings the idea closer to a beverage you can taste and assess.
Define the concept
Who is the beverage for? What should it taste like? We define the ingredients, preferred packaging and target production cost.
Develop the formulation
We select ingredients and refine sweetness, acidity, aroma and mouthfeel.
Taste the samples
You assess physical product samples. We discuss your feedback and make adjustments within the agreed scope.
Plan the next step
We finalise the agreed development work and the checks needed before moving towards production.
Every product development project has its own level of complexity. Timing depends on the beverage type, ingredients, number of variants and required testing. Once the brief is defined, we provide a clear scope, an estimated timeline and a commercial proposal.
03 / OUR APPROACH
More than ingredients.
Purpose in every choice.
A beverage needs to taste good. It also needs to work as a product.
That is why we consider flavour, raw materials and the practical side of product development together. We work towards a solution that suits your idea, budget and intended manufacturing process.
YOUR DIRECTION
Development of a new product or refinement of an existing concept.
CLEAR SCOPE
Agreed deliverables, stages and working terms from the outset.
PRACTICE AND PRODUCTION
Practical experience
behind every development
LipoStrong is grounded in hands-on experience in beverage development and production, beyond laboratory theory. We work from the initial idea and flavour profile through to physical product samples, process parameters and preparation for production.
Each project is approached individually, with attention to flavour, stability, production cost and feasibility under real manufacturing conditions.
THE OUTCOME
What you receive
The scope is shaped around the objectives and needs of each product.
- A developed and tested product concept
- Physical product samples for tasting and assessment
- A final formulation within the agreed scope
- Specific ingredient quantities and a defined sequence of steps
- Key process parameters
- Recommendations on raw materials and the manufacturing process
- Preparation for scaling a laboratory prototype into production
The specific documents and tests are determined by the type and complexity of the project.
The development work does not tie you to a specific manufacturer. Once the project is complete, you are free to arrange production with a partner of your choice.
BEFORE WE BEGIN
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I contact you if I only have an idea?
Yes. You do not need a finished formulation. We can begin with a concept, a desired flavour, a target audience or a reference product.
Can you improve an existing formulation?
Yes. We develop new products and also refine the flavour, sweetness, acidity, ingredient profile, production cost or processing performance of existing beverages.
Do you develop functional beverages?
Yes. Depending on the project, we can develop beverages with plant proteins, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, botanical extracts and other functional ingredients.
How long does product development take?
The timeline depends on product complexity, the number of variants, ingredient availability, feedback time and required testing. After the initial brief, we provide a project plan and an estimated timeline.
Will I receive physical samples?
Yes. The development work includes physical product samples within the agreed scope, so you can taste and assess the beverage before finalisation.
Do I have to use a specific manufacturer?
No. LipoStrong provides beverage development services and does not tie you to a specific manufacturer. After the project is completed, you are free to organise production with a manufacturing partner of your choice.
Can shelf life be guaranteed in advance?
A formulation can be developed with a target shelf life and stability profile in mind, but the final shelf life must be confirmed through appropriate testing of the finished product in its final packaging.
EVERY NEW BEVERAGE STARTS WITH AN IDEA
What will yours
taste like?
You do not need a finished formulation. An idea of what you want to create is enough to begin.
01
Beverage type and
desired flavour
02
Who it is for and
what sets it apart
03
Preferred ingredients
and an indicative budget
These are the starting points for our first conversation.
