Lehua Brands, a California-based manufacturer of award-winning cannabis products, continues its successful 2024 with recent Gold and Silver Medals at the California State Fair, following a rapid expansion into Canada’s cannabis market. Their REEFRESH Strawberry Lemonade earned gold, while Olala Root Beer took silver. After launching Voila! infused sparkling water in Canada in May, the brand is now available in over 250 dispensaries across Ontario.
Lehua CEO, Sierra Elaina, expressed pride in the team’s achievements amid the challenges faced by California cannabis brands in 2024. She highlighted the significance of the California State Fair recognition and the success of Olala Root Beer and the newly launched REEFRESH lemonade.
Lehua impressed the judges with alcohol alternatives that maintain great taste without being overly sweet. Both award-winning drinks are non-GMO, vegan-friendly, and made with natural ingredients, featuring 10mg of THC and full-spectrum live resin.
With a focus on lower or no sugar options, Lehua’s beverages align with Canadian consumer preferences, leading to rapid growth in the market. The brand’s expansion into Canada, supported by partners Green Hedge Education and Distribution and Peak Processing, has been swift, with products now in over 255 shops within 90 days.
Lehua’s success in California and its rapid Canadian expansion underscore its reputation as a trusted partner for white label manufacturing. This success also paves the way for new collaborations and licensing opportunities across other regulated markets nationwide.
