Roda Juice is a line of cold-pressed raw juices based on Latin American flavors. Flavors include the Cartagena — pineapple, orange, carrot, turmeric and jicama — and the Mendoza — apple, celery, lemon and spinach. Roberto Tapia produces fewer than 100 bottles of juice a week and sells them in his fitness center, which has reopened after COVID, as well as online. He also puts bottles in his daughter's school lunches, attracting interest from teachers who have became fans.
