Kia-Ora is a well-known brand of fruit cordial and concentrated drinks that started in Australia in 1903. The name comes from the Māori word for "be well/healthy." Its fruit-flavored squashes, like orange and mixed fruit, became very popular in the UK and Ireland in the 20th century and are still a favorite today. People love Kia-Ora for its refreshing, mix-with-water fruit flavors and its long history as a popular soft drink.
