The flavor Strawberry & Hibiscus Flowers was an easy choice – the two pair together for a fizzy and fruity combination. This floral celebration is naturally sweet, without the overindulgent feeling afterward. I absolutely love the deep berry color of this one. Studies have shown that when our drinks (or food) look good then we are more likely to consume them. This brew not only looks inviting, but the sweet strawberry taste is incredibly delicious. (I could be biased. Strawberries are my favorite fruit! Every Mother’s Day I make chocolate-covered strawberries with my toddlers. We make our own chocolate with raw cacao butter, raw cacao powder, local wildflower honey, and a pinch of ancient sea salt. Delicious!) I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.
