About Recess
In October 2018 Recess launched its first product, a flavored seltzer water infused with hemp extract and adaptogens. Since then, we have rapidly grown to a team of 40, opened our headquarters in Soho, New York and partnered with the largest beverage distributor in the country. In 2019 Recess will be launching in nine new markets including the Pacific, Southwest and larger Northeast.
At Recess, we embody our brand by encouraging people to “take a Recess” through Recess IRL pop-ups and events, brand partnerships, online engagements, and traditional beverage distribution. www.instagram.com/takearecess/
