The seasonal flavor for this week! A delicious, full-bodied brew featuring organic blackstrap molasses and organic hulled cardamom. Both ingredients have intense flavor profiles, and they combine for a rich flavor. Please note there are 2.5 grams of sugar per 8 ounce serving (5 grams per 16 ounce bottle) from the blackstrap molasses. Full of nutrients and health-promoting benefits, this seasonal brew is incredible. I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.
