Nadeesha Ranasinghe
Nadeesha brought home the everyday kombucha culture she saw in New Zealand, shaping Ayu & Co. around clean ingredients, consistency, and drinks made for Sri Lankan routines.
Ayu & Co. was a long time coming home: two old friends, two lives overseas, and one shared question about why Sri Lanka was importing wellness it could brew itself.
Nadeesha built a life in New Zealand and saw kombucha become part of everyday wellness. Supuni studied fermentation and food science in Canada, asking why probiotic drinks needed to arrive in containers when the ingredients were growing at home.
The answer became Ayu & Co.: move home, bring international discipline, use Ceylon tea and island botanicals, and brew for Sri Lankan palates instead of copying an imported one.

Supuni pairs fermentation and food science discipline with local palate knowledge, helping turn Ceylon tea, fruit, herbs, and honey into living kombucha with structure.
The brand is Sri Lankan before it is anything else: Ceylon tea, local fruit, herbal extracts, raw bee's honey, and a living fermentation process.
Never pasteurised. Every bottle is alive with cultures, yeast and the character of real fermentation.
Sour orange, ginger, hibiscus, lemongrass, beetroot, lemon and butterfly pea sourced close to home.
Bolder, brighter and less shy than imported kombucha. It tastes like it knows where it came from.
