Irresistible and juicy, fresh red apples are a staple of autumn. The sweet apple flavor intensifies the naturally crisp, apple-like flavor of kombucha. Eating seasonally is extremely beneficial to the health and integrity of the physical body. I have been waiting until the fall to present these mouthwatering apple blends. Eleuthero Root is a treasured adaptogen in the herbal practice, and for good reasons! I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.
