Confession: I am addicted to pairing apples and celery together. From smoothies to soups to salsas, diced apples and celery are a savored indulgence in my home. (I even use celery seed powder in my homemade multivitamin.) Sweet and juicy. Green and fresh. I hope you enjoy this flavor as much as I do! 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. Celery Seed provides key nutrients to nourish and replenish. I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.
