MOJU

What MOJU does

MOJU is a UK-based wellness beverage company founded in 2015 by Charlie Leet-Cook and Rich Goldsmith, producing cold-pressed functional nutrition shots centered on Peruvian ginger and turmeric. Its core technology combines slow cold-press extraction with High Pressure Processing (HPP), preserving raw nutrients without heat or preservatives, and is supported by a direct sourcing relationship with a fourth-generation farming cooperative in Peru's Selva Alta region. The product portfolio spans six SKUs — Ginger, Turmeric, Extra Strength Ginger, Hot Mango Immunity, Power Greens Immunity, and Honey Lemon Immunity — sold in 420ml dosing bottles for home use and 60ml grab-and-go formats for office and on-the-go consumption, alongside bundled offers (Pick 'N' Mix, Variety, Vitality, Immunity).

The business operates a hybrid distribution model: an extensive wholesale footprint across all major UK supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Co-op, Waitrose, Morrisons, Ocado, Whole Foods), food service (Leon, Itsu), gyms, and coffee shops, totaling 10,000+ stores across the UK and Europe. This is layered with a direct-to-consumer e-commerce channel (mojudrinks.com) offering both one-time purchases and a subscription service with 15–20% savings, flexible delivery cadence, and a Power Ups loyalty program. A newer office/workplace subscription channel (24x60ml Boom Boxes) targets B2B wellness budgets. MOJU holds B Corp certification, is a founding UK member of 1% for the Planet since 2017, and has raised $3.4M from Danone Manifesto Venture (2021).
