Here’s a look at the next revolution of juices. From personalised ice blends, cold pressed to hot juices, Korean D.I.Y. juice bar Beesket (FB/Instagram) is the next new stop for the health conscious. But, just want is so special about it?
Beesket Original
Choosing what you want in your juice is nothing new, but, I am pretty sure kale or pomegranate is not on your usual menu of choices. Beesket Original (S$5.90) takes the process further with adorable beeskets baskets and a myriad display of colours in a honeycomb-like design with each hue representing one fruit or vegetable. Like a bee, busily fliting around the honeycomb, customers do the same to choose their fruit capsules that fit snuggly into their beeskets. Instagram-worthy and a treat for the kids.
The health conscious can also keep their calorie count in check thanks to the radio frequency identification chips hidden inside the capsules. The scanner does a rough calculation of the calorie counts and nutritional values including fibre and various vitamins, all of which will be printed out with a discount or promo for your next purchase.
Even if you decide to go a little adventurous or go all-green, Beesket will be ensuring you a delicious, refreshing beverage with a spoonful of their Beesket Fruit Nectar. Made from an all-natural fruit extract from eight different fruits, it supposedly draws out the juice’s flavour natural while balancing out acidity. So, go ahead and order a red cabbage, broccoli and yam blend if you’d like!
No worries if you are hard pressed for choices, the menu will have an extensive list of 100% Natural Blended Juices categorised depending on your needs. Whether you are hoping to renew your radiant glow or just trying to detox your system, they already have a blend taste-tested and ready for you. The unusual but tasty Yam Honey (S$6.40) might just end up being your favourite.
100% Natural Pressed Juice
Cold-pressed juices have gained immense popularity over the years. Beesket will no doubt be carrying them at room-temperature in fixed combinations of: Kale and Green Grape (S$6.40) and Pear and Ginger (S$5.40).
Natural Fruit Tea
Continuing on the cold pressed juice craze is their innovative new Natural Fruit Tea. While it does not actually carry any sort of caffeine, it is indeed a “hot” fruit drink. Made by gently steaming juices through a steamer to preserve its natural nutrients and enzymes, it gives us a sweet, refreshing yet comforting choice on a cold, rainy day. I loved the Green Grape Tea (S$5.40), which even had actual grape halves floating inside, and the cold soothing Pear Ginger Tea (S$5.40).
Loyal Bee Programme
They will also be offering a loyalty card programme from July 2015 onwards. It is similar to an EZ-Link card where customers can top up a stored value in dominations of S$10, S$20 to S$100 in a Beesket store card in pink or grey. An additional S$5 and S$10 will be accredited to the card with every S$50 and S$100 top up respectively.
Beesket is currently located at Changi City Point #01-20 and 321 Clementi Shopping Mall #02-03.
