Exploring the Vision and Core Values of Vesper Bites

LCG Foods engaged in a discussion with the founder of Bisou Tea, Philip Cole and Zlata Kislyuk, to better understand the brand's mission, core values, and other topics that we thought our retail partners might want to know.

 

What motivated you to start your company and create the products that we see today? 

We saw a gap in the candy market for something truly elevated, playful, yet refined all for a more approachable price point than our competition. While there’s no shortage of gummies, few merge the fun of candy with cocktail culture. We wanted to create a treat that was as visually striking on shelves as it was delicious to eat, with flavors that evoke celebration and special moments without the alcohol.

 

What are your company’s core values?

Creativity, quality, and connection. We believe candy should be more than just sweet. It should spark curiosity and be more of an experience worth allowing oneself the indulgence. That means choosing better ingredient options, crafting visually impactful packaging, and creating flavors that encourage sharing and social gathering.

 

 

If you could tell a retailer three things about what makes your brand different, what would they be? 

  • Cocktail-inspired flavours that stand out from traditional gummy offerings.

  • Retail-ready packaging with strong shelf presence and built-in gift appeal.

  • A zero-proof indulgence that appeals to both candy lovers and those looking for unique, upscale snacks.

 

What are some challenges you’ve had to overcome to bring your business to its current state?

Creating a candy that’s both visually striking and exceptional in taste required close collaboration with confectionery experts and careful flavour development. We also had to balance premium packaging with price points that work for retailers and set us apart from the competition in the gourmet candy space.
