Our Story.
Begins on the Atlantic Seaboard
The idea sparked after a morning cycle along the Atlantic Seaboard. Looking for something refreshing to drink, Bevan found himself navigating a beverage aisle defined by the extremes of sodas loaded with sugar or "functional" drinks making complex health claims.
The middle ground was missing. There was nothing that focused purely on incredible flavour and a clean, minimal ingredient list. It felt like the industry had plenty of "solutions," but had lost sight of genuine refreshment.
Crafted around Home-use
The frustration followed him home. When looking for a sparkling option to keep in the fridge for multiple servings, a second gap emerged. High-end healthier beverages were almost exclusively sold in small 300ml cans. The only large-format options were packaged in plastic and felt out of place at a dinner table.
The mission became clear: Create a beautiful, multi-serving sparkling drink that prioritised a "clean label" approach - no additives, no extras - served in a bottle designed for the home and the table.
The Partnership
The vision found its legs when Bevan met Gerard through a mutual connection. At the time, Gerard was already deep in the beverage world, building a modern, reimagined take on tea.
As they talked, it became clear they were circling the same problem. While Bevan had the initial spark, Gerard had the momentum and passion for what was needed to build a brand from the ground up.
It was a natural fit. With Bevan providing the backing and support, Gerard took the lead to run with the business, obsessing over every detail.
Refinement in a Bottle
Together, they developed the drink that was missing from the aisle. Dachi was designed to be the definitive choice for those who value both aesthetic and substance - fitting perfectly in a home setting or on the tables of your favourite restaurants.
At its core, Dachi is a celebration of uncompromising taste and minimalist integrity. By stripping away the additives, preservatives, and extra fillers, the focus remains exactly where it should be: on a natural, delicious, and incredibly clean drinking experience. It’s elevated simplicity in a bottle.
