Founder Zainob Fashola
Zainob Fashola is the Nigerian-born founder behind ZZAI and Faaji LLC. Her official account traces earlier wine and spirits ventures in Nigeria, a return to the United States in 2022, and development of the sparkling beverage line beginning in 2025. The brand connects her memories of everyday Lagos drinks with a shelf-stable format for U.S. consumers.
ZZAI begins with drinks that already had a place at the table. Zainob Fashola grew up with zobo and Chapman in Lagos and developed the brand to bring those familiar flavors to American shelves. Its four sparkling recipes give each tradition its own identity: floral hibiscus, botanical citrus and cucumber, bittersweet kola, and mango with tamarind. Made in the United States through Faaji LLC, the line is sold in twelve-can trays, with a mixed tray for discovering the range.
