About Cuba Beverage Company
Cuba Beverage Company is at the forefront of creating a unique category for Herbal Energy Juices in the global energy beverage market, valued at $17 billion in sales in North America alone. Developed over the past four years with leading industry scientists, CUBA Herbal Energy Juice® is the first ready-to-drink beverage by Cuba Beverage Company that offers a healthy, natural alternative to conventional energy drinks.

CUBA Herbal Energy Juice® is rapidly setting a new industry standard with its all-natural ingredients. It contains no caffeine, no taurine, no high fructose corn syrups and/or artificial sugars, no preservatives and no artificial ingredients.

The product is available in three unique flavors: Pomegranate-Cranberry, Wild Berry and Passion Fruit-Orange. BevNet, the beverage industry's go-to source for product reviews, stated, "CUBA is a superb tasting product.
