The vibrant color of this elixir showcases its antioxidant, Vitamin C rich deliciousness. One of the key ingredients that is not well known in the West is Schisandra Berry. This medicinal herb is known as an adaptogenic. In essence, adaptogenic herbs do just that, help our body to adapt.

Schisandra Berries have a long history in Eastern countries. Its Chinese name, Wu Wei Zi, means “five-flavored fruit”, reflecting the five flavors recognized in Traditional Chinese Medicine which are: sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty.

Rose hips and hibiscus are two ingredients known for their Vitamin C and high antioxidant contents. Linden Flowers and leaves which come from the Tilia, or Lime Tree, have been used for centuries for their medicinal properties. The flowers offer a beautifully sweet aroma and flavor.
Most of us are familiar with roses and their magical fragrance. Roses have been found to help with lifting our mood and balancing our hormones and emotions, though they are also rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants.
We absolutely love the aroma of brewing this unique combination of plant medicines. This base offers many opportunities for drinking experiences that we have found appeal the most to wine lovers and people who simply do not enjoy the taste of spirits and effects of alcohol.
This base can be enjoyed neat or over rocks, and is predominantly tart. It can be added to lemonade in the summer, or heated up with some honey in the winter. It is highly versatile.
