This Strawberry Rhubarb Conserve tastes just like eating fresh strawberry rhubarb pie! This low sugar jam is a perfect balance between sweet and tart, and is made with more than half a pound of fresh fruit per jar. One bite, and you will immediately be reminded of summertime and the taste of fresh picked strawberries cooked with rhubarb.
Tart & quenching with a lovely rosé infusion, Schisandra Berry is a forest-grown adaptogen elixir. Known as the five-flavor berry, schisandra grows like grapes on a vine and has a unique balance of sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungency with notes of cranberry, wild rose and citrus. In Eastern traditions, schisandra berry is taken as a detox herb, beauty tonic & mood booster.
Inspired by 19th-century apothecary Antoine Peychaud, these New Orleans bitters are a celebration of NOLA and American cocktail culture. With bright flavors of anise, tart cherry, hibiscus, and rosehips, these bitters will liven up any drink. The perfect choice for a Sazerac cocktail, a few dropperfuls will do wonders for seltzer, tonic, beer, and alcohol-free red wine, too. Packed with organic, functional botanicals like milk thistle seed, dandelion root, and Schisandra berry, these New Orleans bitters may support digestion, liver health, and detoxification.
The exotic flavor of passion fruit and hibiscus fills your cup with a fragrance as uplifting as an island breeze. Also known as red tea, rooibos is rich in antioxidants and is known for its calming, stress- relieving, and anti-aging properties. Naturally caffeine-free, this gentle, soothing blend is excellent hot or over ice.
