About Us

Ally Liu is a corporate engineer turned serial entrepreneur who is passionate about cannabis. 

After quickly identifying that all of the top talent was moving towards the cannabis industry, she began to examine why. Realizing the importance of CBD products and their great positive impact on people and their endocannabinoid systems, she began to understand what possibilities the future held for this amazing plant. After familiarizing herself with the CBD market, she discovered the CBD, Kratom and Kava families of products and has been excited ever since to be able to bring quality CBD goods to customers in a friendly retail space in order to better serve the people of Gainesville and the surrounding areas.

Previously, with her Master's Degree in International Business from Webster University, she founded Azure Water in 2006 and expanded into Leesburg, Florida in 2013. “I worked in the U.S. at an engineering company that designed and built packaging lines for beverage companies,” she said. “I decided to take that model to China and started an engineering services firm in Shanghai to serve the Chinese market. After 10 years, my husband and I wanted to return to our home country so we decided to build our own packaging line in Florida.”

Azure Water was recognized by GrowFl as a 2017 "Company to Watch", standing out for its management team, competitive market position and strong community involvement. It also won the 2017 Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Gold Medal for Best Tasting Water in the World. In 2015, it won a Business Achievement Award presented by U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster and the Leesburg Area Chamber of Commerce, and oversaw job growth of 357% from 2013-2017 and revenue growth of 522% over the same period.  Liu’s advice for aspiring entrepreneurs is short but worth listening to.

 “Help folks find relief,” she said. “good business will follow.”
