Here it is! The last (but definitely not least) fun and functional beverage in our series of collaborations with Sparkling Botanicals. Sparkling Botanicals is a part of Rishi Tea, purveyors of the highest quality, most ethically and sustainably sourced tea and herbs around. At the heart of our mission as a business is the belief that everything we do and make should be of benefit to our community — whether that happens on local or global levels. Finding another brand that so similarly aligns with our own values is always exciting, especially when combination is just so delicious!
This Calming Cooler is what I turn to in moments of stress. It’s simple, refreshing, and is basically the liquid equivalent of a deep exhale. Grapefruit Quince Sparkling Botanicals balances hibiscus, yuzu, and quince, as well as grapefruit. Each of these ingredients has a different function; quince is often used in traditional Korean teas to facilitate easy breathing. Hibiscus is cooling and supports cardiovascular health. And, of course, they just taste good. It’s light, effervescent, and the perfect combination of sweet-and-sour.
When mixed with our Shiso and Citrus Shrub, this drink seriously pops. It has a beautiful, vibrant color — think the most decadent 80s party! — and it is full of floral and herbaceous flavor. We really can’t get enough of it! Our Shiso and Citrus Shrub is full of antioxidants, and has a unique taste that calms the spirit and supports overall health and wellbeing.
