Another blend to celebrate the season of fall! Pure maple syrup is medicinal and healing, loaded with natural vitamins and minerals. Vitamins and minerals should taste delicious! Our bodies are designed to crave nourishing nutrients, and perform optimally when we receive those naturally-occurring essential vitamins and minerals. Pure maple syrup facilitates recovery after a workout, sweat session, or period of illness. Organic whole cloves melt into this rich flavor with a robust and spicy warmth. I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.
