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!

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 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.

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.

Marjoram Leaf & Elder Flowers Water Kefir

The berries of the Elder plant are often consumed (Elder Berries) but the flowers deliver additional benefits unique to their constituents! (Personally, I prefer to use the berries for daily immune support, and the flowers for stronger immune boosting after exposure.) The flowers have stronger medicinal properties. Elder flowers provide a delicate and subtle taste, while marjoram dominates this flavor with a floral freshness. Marjoram has an amazing ability to balance the system and reset the detox pathways, leading to decreased pain from inflammation, restored hormones, and increased vitality.

Raspberry & Fo-Ti Root Kombucha

A revered herb, Fo-Ti Root facilitates deeper healing. System-wide rejuvenation at the cellular level. This can be obtained! Traditionally, Fo-Ti Root has been used to unblock the channels of energy through the body, allowing the escape of the pathogenic influences that cause generalized weakness, soreness, pain, and fatigue. Earthy and bitter tasting, Fo-Ti is accompanied by the juicy tartness of sweet raspberries.

Watermelon & Saw Palmetto Berries Water Kefir

Watermelon – a cherished favorite! 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. Saw Palmetto Berries benefit the body but have a strong flavor on their own that is often undesirable. Thankfully, we can receive the nourishing benefits of whole, organic Saw Palmetto Berries while enjoying a watermelon treat too delicious to be this healing!

Papaya & Elder Berries Kombucha

Delicious berry taste with a plethora of immune-boosting properties. Excellent beverage to have on hand, especially with the increased travel during Labor Day weekend. Kombucha balances the pH in the body, detoxifies the liver (leading to better moods), and increases energy levels (due to the naturally-occurring B vitamins). Use this fresh goodness to maintain your health all weekend long!
