Sēkwl sets out to redefine refreshment with flavour, function, and organic ingredients that include Zero B.S.

Say hello to Sēkwl Beverage House, a new kind of brand shaking up the beverage industry with drinks that blend flavour and function and that taste as good as they make you feel. Today, Sēkwl’s adaptogenic sparkling waters launch and aim to stand out in the sparkling water, functional, and non-alcoholic beverage industries.

“We are obsessed with the power of functional mushrooms,” said Matthew Eaton, Founder & Chief Beverage Officer at Sēkwl Beverage House. “We’re starting this brand with craveable flavors crafted in-house, just flavor with function, no weird chemicals, no fillers, and no B.S.”

As the industry of functional beverages and prebiotic sodas expands by the week, Sēkwl Beverage House enters the market with a bold vision: to redefine refreshment through plant and fungi-based ingredients that promote balance, focus, and recovery.

“The world doesn’t need another sugary soda or pseudo-health drink,” said Eaton. “We created Sēkwl with a clear mission: to craft drinks that not only taste amazing but actually do something for you. With functional mushrooms, organic botanicals, and real benefits in every sip, Sēkwl is hydration, reimagined.”

With six flavours, all crafted and made in-house with organic ingredients, Sēkwl represents a new approach to rethinking how products are made, how companies are structured, and how sustainability and storytelling can be seamlessly integrated into every sip.

Founded by beverage lover and flavour innovator Matthew Eaton, Sēkwl Beverage House is proudly LGBTQ+-led and passionately people-first. Eaton, his husband, Ryan Kelley, and best friends John Walls and Shannon Eurich have created a brand crafted with intention, blending functional mushrooms, organic botanicals, and bold flavours to create beverages that support mind, body, and soul.

“Sēkwl isn’t just about great taste. It’s about how you feel after your first sip,” said Eaton. “We saw a chance to create something new for the wellness aisle: a functional mushroom-powered sparkling water that supports energy, relaxation, and clarity without tasting like a supplement. This is a new way to enjoy hydration, and we can’t wait for people to try Sēkwl.”

Six signature flavours, six functional benefits

Sēkwl launches with six bold and refreshing flavours, each infused with a unique blend of functional mushrooms, organic botanicals, and adaptogens that help you reset, refocus, or recharge, depending on what your day calls for:
