Qhuma means pop or explosion in Zulu, and we hope that when you sample one of our pops, you experience a little qhuma of flavours in your mouth. Qhuma Pops strives to use locally sourced, sustainable and organic fruit whenever possible. We have a five ingredient rule -- none of our Qhuma Pops have more than five ingredients to keep them fresh, flavourful and full of nutrients.

April Wonder Market
The Wonder Market is a market that is dear to our heart -- it was our first market and a jumping off point for us to start this whole little business. This month's Wonder Market was a huge success for us -- we had a sell out of EVERY flavour and went home with empty coolers.
Summer was the first to sell out and sadly we won't be seeing that flavour until watermelons come back into season. Our new tangy citrus flavour, Splash, was the second to go -- we'll be busy juicing this week to stock up for I heart market on Saturday. The third flavour, which we had stock of in the freezer from when mangos were still in season was Wonder, which again won't be back until December when mangos are back in season. Crisp, our caramel apple cinnamon concoction with fourth followed by Vervet (banana, peanut butter and vanilla yogurt) and finally Oregon (pear, ginger, almond and creme) was last to go. All in all, a wonderful busy market with beautiful weather. Certainly a day to remember -- our first SELL OUT!

These are the best tasters we can ask for!
They even help out a bit!
Getting ready for a remarkable day!
Litchi Orchard
We did the Litchi Orchard Night Market on April 26. There was a great festive ambience and for a first time stall holder, we didn't do too badly. It's always great to just get our name out there. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves that we've only been "in the business" for three short months! We had a couple of repeat customers -- customers who tried one flavour and then returned to sample another and one gentleman even had three pops!

Autumn Flavours!
We've got a busy couple of weeks ahead of us. First off, we have the Litchi Orchard Night Market in Ballito on Friday, April 26 from 5 - 9 pm. Then it's the Wonder Market on Sunday, April 28 from 9 - 2 at Chris Saunders Park. Then on May 4, we have the i heart market at People's Park.
For these markets, we are working with Autumn flavours -- aren't we lucky to live in a place where apples, pears and citrus are all in season right now?
