A Heritage Brand, Revived with Purpose
CC Polaken is a revived heritage brand rooted in a real commercial past.
Once established as an operating company in Kenya, the name CC Polaken has been brought back with a clear direction: to create refined citron and cider guided by tradition, restraint, and respect for origin.
This is not a reinvention for trendโs sake.
It is a continuationโadapted to a modern context without erasing its history.
From Kenya to Europe: A New Chapter
The original CC Polaken operated in Kenya during an earlier commercial era, when brands were built on presence, relationships, and consistency rather than speed and volume.
Today, the brand enters a new chapter.
Production focus has shifted to Europe, with a particular emphasis on 100% Polish apples, known for their natural acidity, clarity of flavor, and balance.
This transition reflects a belief that heritage should evolveโwhile remaining honest about its origins.
Our Philosophy
CC Polaken is guided by a simple principle:
Quality improves when time is respected.
We do not pursue intensity through additives or shortcuts.
Instead, we focus on:
- Clear fruit expression
- Natural balance
- Clean fermentation
- And patient production methods
Whether citron or cider, every product is designed to feel precise, refreshing, and composedโnever excessive.
Citron & Cider, by Design
Citron
Our citron emphasizes brightness and aroma, maintaining a crisp profile without masking the character of the fruit. The goal is clarity, not sweetness.
Cider
Our cider is crafted exclusively from 100% Polish apples, selected for their structure and freshness.
The result is a dry, refined ciderโoften described as lighter and cleaner on the palate than traditional wine, while remaining true to fruit.
This is not about comparison for competitionโs sake.
It is about offering a different expressionโmore transparent, more approachable, and naturally refreshing.
A Brand Built on Restraint
CC Polaken does not aim to be everywhere.
It aims to be consistent.
We believe restraint is a strength.
In flavor, in production, and in brand.
By focusing on fewer products and clearer identity, CC Polaken continues its legacyโnot as a relic of the past, but as a living brand shaped by experience.
Looking Forward
CC Polaken stands at the intersection of history and intention.
A brand with real roots, revived with clarity and care.
Citron and cider are not trends hereโthey are commitments.
Citron & Cider. Crafted with Time.
