Lehua Brands’ Cannabis Beverages Top the Podium at CA State Fair Following Successful Debut in Canadian Market

Lehua Brands, a California-based manufacturer of prizewinning cannabis products, caps a series of North American successes so far in 2024 with its recent California State Fair Gold + Silver Medals, coupled with a rapid, wide-reaching debut in Canada’s cannabis market.

The gold medal for its REEFRESH Strawberry Lemonade and silver medal for Olala Root Beer are the latest awards for the house of brands that brought Voila! infused sparkling water SKUs to Canada in May and is now available in over 250 dispensaries across Ontario.


“I’m so proud of what our team has accomplished this year. Cannabis brands in California have faced so many challenges in 2024, and it’s an honor to be recognized by the California State Fair as a leader in the beverage category. We are thrilled with the win for a Lehua favorite, Olala Root Beer, which took silver, and in our brand new non-carbonated category with REEFRESH lemonade, which took home the gold,” commented Lehua CEO, Sierra Elaina. “We are truly grateful to the industry for the ongoing support and look forward to continuing to bring exciting innovative products to the market in the months and years to come.”


Lehua won over the judges by presenting alcohol alternatives without sacrificing great taste or over-sweetening. Both drinks are non-GMO, vegan friendly and made with natural ingredients and 10mg of THC. The vibrant artisanal flavors are created with pure cane sugar and feature full spectrum live resin.


Lower or no sugar options are a priority in the Canadian market and Lehua’s house of beverage brands adhere to the needs of the Canadian consumer without compromising on taste, natural ingredients or quality. “It’s only been 90 days and we’re already in over 255 shops,” said Elaina. “That quick progress and the success we are seeing is not only because our products resonate with Canadian consumers, but also thanks to our great partners Green Hedge Education and Distribution and Peak Processing. Aligning ourselves with valued market partners has been critical to our growth in Canada."


The expansion into the Canadian market has progressed rapidly and is a testament to Lehua Brands serving as a trusted partner for white label manufacturing. Additionally, its continued success in California, including the ability to provide private label services for retail partners and Lehua’s expansion into other regulated markets, opens new opportunities for collaborations and licensing agreement opportunities with partners nationwide.
