Inspired by Sankofa
At Korko, everything starts with a story. Our name and logo are inspired by the Sankofa bird, a powerful symbol from West African Adinkra culture. The bird looks back while moving forward, a reminder to learn from the past to guide the future. This message sits at the heart of what we do.
Rooted in Tradition
We believe the traditions and flavours of Africa deserve to be celebrated and shared. Our drinks are more than recipes, they carry heritage. Every flavour has roots in time-honoured practices that connect people, family, and community.
From Kitchen to Craft
Korko began in a small kitchen in Kent, making the first batches by hand. From the start, the aim was simple: to bring authentic African-inspired drinks to a wider audience. No shortcuts, no gimmicks, just real flavours made with care.
Recognition for Quality
That commitment has already been recognised. Our Ginger Root Drink won Bronze at the Taste of Kent Awards 2024 This was a proud moment that showed our drinks stand out for both flavour and authenticity.
A Taste of Tradition Today
Each drink is created to be bold, refreshing, and true to its origin. Whether enjoyed on its own or as part of a mix, Korko is a taste of tradition shaped for today.
Looking Back, Moving Forward
Our story is about more than a drink. It is about looking back to honour where we come from, while sharing that journey with the world. Just like the Sankofa bird, we take our history with us as we move forward.
