Botanic said on the 13th that Eden from its nonalcohol brand HAVN won the top prize in the nonalcohol category at the 2026 Korea Wine & Spirits Awards.
HAVN is a brand that captures the characteristics of drinks made with fresh herbs and fresh juice. Its name combines the Danish word meaning garden with København. It aims for nonalcohol drinks rooted in the flavors of nature.
The award-winning product Eden is characterized by its use of herbs grown in Jincheon-gun, North Chungcheong Province. Apple mint, sage, dill, and thyme are brewed as tea to bring out the freshness of the herbs, and rose and Earl Grey are added to deepen the aroma. Green grapes, lemon, and lime are blended to deliver both freshness and complexity.
Eden takes inspiration from the image of the Garden of Eden, with a structure that layers a variety of herb characters. The brand said the herb's distinctive crispness and the fruit's acidity harmonize to leave an impression that is bold yet balanced.
It also pairs well with food. With pomodoro pasta, it lifts the acidity of the tomato sauce, and with grilled lobster, it adds herb notes to the clean seafood flavor for harmony. Paired with bouillabaisse, it helps tidy up the rich seafood notes.
