About Blue
Blue is Refriango's flagship soft drink, and the company puts its success down to the breadth of its flavour range rather than to one taste: passion fruit, pineapple, lemon and lime, orange, coconut and pineapple, and ginger lemon, so that, as Refriango puts it, every Angolan has their favourite Blue. It is one of the four brands the company singles out as having been decorated at the Monde Selection quality awards in Brussels, and it anchors a schools campaign, Turma da Blue, that runs Portuguese-language contests for thousands of Luanda pupils.
