Elder Berries & Ginger Root Kombucha

Research has shown that our individual microbiome is as unique as our fingerprint. Incredible! Both of these herbs are effective for improving the health of the microbiome. Raw kombucha is packed with beneficial bacteria, yeasts, acids, and enzymes to increase diversity in the microbiome. Better than a probiotic (which delivers the same strains of beneficial bacteria over and over again), this brew provides a diverse range of living goodness from a thriving culture and medicinal herbs. Elder berries create the flavor profile with a rich, berry taste and offer a plethora of immune-boosting properties. (Watch out for synthetic vitamin C supplements listed as “ascorbic acid” or “citric acid.” Ascorbic or citric acid are derived from mold or fermented GMO corn. Yikes!) Ginger Root is revered as one of the best herbs for whole body wellness and longevity. Spicy and sweet, this blend provides extra carbonation from the select herbs. Absolutely delicious!

Rosemary Leaf & Yellow Dock Root Water Kefir

Simple ingredients, yet powerful. Rosemary leaf, the delicious and dominant flavor, is a great all-around stimulant and tonic. Yellow dock root boasts a long list of beneficial properties and traditional uses. Organic, whole herbs preserve the medicinal components and offer sustainable, long-term healing while providing a boost of flavor and natural carbonation. I personally use yellow dock root several times a week, and always feel more brighter and cheerful afterwards. My family reports feeling more “giggly” after consuming my yellow dock root drinks! Clean liver = better moods.

Pomegranate & Tulsi (Rama Holy Basil) Kombucha

While the reality of daily chemical exposure cannot be denied, regular consumption of tulsi not only helps protect and detoxify the cells and organs in the body, but tulsi can help reduce toxic stress by relaxing and calming the mind and offering many psychological benefits. There are good reasons as to why tulsi has been affectionately called “The Elixir of Life.” (I selected the Rama variety, which has a more mellow flavor.) Pomegranates provide an abundance of antioxidants to nourish and heal cellular damage. Choosing this hand-crafted brew has the potential to nourish growth to perfect health and promotes a long life.

Raw Honey & Rose Petals Water Kefir

This delicate, feminine flavor is one of my (many!) favorites. We celebrated my birthday last month by making homemade ice cream with this exact flavor combination. Let us keep the celebration going! I infused organic rose petals for 12 hours, leaving behind a medicinal-level, gentle rose flavor. I source raw wildflower honey from the local beekeepers at Sunrise Bee Co (they work very hard to make sure their honey does not crystallize, and truly have the best raw honey – you can taste the difference!). Raw honey delivers a nutritional boost in living form. This combination results in a naturally sweet taste that is elegant and graceful. Both of the intricate flavor profiles shine through for an exquisite experience.

Watermelon & Calendula Flowers Water Kefir

Watermelon is returning for the final time this season! Whole, pureed watermelon is the dominant flavor, and is almost too good to be true. Satisfying and pleasant, watermelon pairs well with raw water kefir for a charming elixir. Calendula flowers promote cellular repair and aid in restoring optimal gut health, while imparting a neutral and palatable taste. (I personally use Calendula on a daily basis – both internally and externally.) I hope you enjoy this delicious brew as much as I do!

Elder Berries & Rosehips Kombucha

Research has shown that our individual microbiome is as unique as our fingerprint. Incredible! Both of these herbs are effective for improving the health of the microbiome. Raw kombucha is packed with beneficial bacteria, yeasts, acids, and enzymes to increase diversity in the microbiome. Better than a probiotic (which delivers the same strains of beneficial bacteria over and over again), this brew provides a diverse range of living goodness from a thriving culture and medicinal herbs. Elder berries create the flavor profile with a rich, berry taste and offer a plethora of immune-boosting properties. Rosehips are one of the highest sources of herbal vitamin C, which boosts collagen production and increases immunity. (Watch out for synthetic vitamin C supplements listed as “ascorbic acid” or “citric acid.” Ascorbic or citric acid are derived from mold or fermented GMO corn. Yikes!)

Chamomile & Passion Flowers Kombucha

Stressed? Anxious? (Um, yes and yes!) I created this blend to naturally support the central nervous system. We are inundated with demands and challenges every single day. Our bodies can show signs of needing additional assistance to perform optimally. After all, our bodies have been present for every experience in our lives, even when our minds have shut down from the stress or trauma. We can trust our bodies and express our gratitude for the steadfast dependability. Using organic, whole herbs to affirm the physical body encourages the innate healing power at the cellular level. Chamomile flowers provide a rich, apple-like flavor while passion flowers impart a fresh, green taste. I remind myself that “I am enough” and thank my body for all that she has done.

Ceylon Cinnamon Bark & Lemon Balm Water Kefir

A sweet cinnamon luxury! Creamy and spicy, medicinal-level ceylon cinnamon combines with lightly citrusy lemon balm. Ceylon cinnamon is a powerful anti-inflammatory and tastes delicious. A seasonal favorite! Lemon balm encourages a positive outlook and boosts the mood. As I sip on this brew, I feel renewed and inspired to handle anything that unfolds today.

Blueberry & Beet Water Kefir

You asked, and I listened! I have received so many requests to pair two produce items together. Naturally, I have a purpose in mind: to provide the most nutrient dense and healing nourishment without compromising the taste. Here it is! Whole, pureed blueberries retain the fiber and complex array of vitamins – there is a reason why they are affectionately referred to as “ninja berries.” Beets are quite possibly the healthiest vegetable to detoxify the liver. (Healthy livers equal healthy moods and robust vitality!) Both flavors combine for a refreshingly clean elixir.

Apple & Oregon Grape Root Kombucha

Oregon Grape Root plays a vital role in healing gut damage. True healing is such an inside job, is it not? And holistic healing is entirely personal which requires committed determination and unwavering perseverance. We exercise sovereignty over our health when we intentionally choose to engage in actions that are consistent with our values. Have you ever had a visceral response to a situation (or experience)? This is your paramount gut speaking to you. Recent research has shown that the gut is even more important than the brain in the human body. Wow! I paired this incredible herb with organic apples. The sweet apple flavor intensifies the naturally crisp, apple-like flavor of kombucha.
