INGREDIENTS
ORGANIC GINGER ROOT
Spice
Ginger, used in many cultures to enliven food and drink, is also known for its healthful qualities. A light stimulant, it can treat cold symptoms and sore throat. Ginger is cultivated most prominently in India, China, Indonesia and West Africa. After the plant flowers and the leaves die off, the roots are dug, washed, peeled and sun dried.
ORGANIC HONEYBUSH
South African Botanical
Honeybush is an evergreen shrub, closely related to rooibos, that grows in the eastern Cape of South Africa. Although there have been attempts at cultivating and farming honeybush, most species are found and harvested in nature, also known as wildcrafting. The slender leaves, stems and flowers are hand cut and then allowed to oxidize in the sun. Honeybush is known to be high in antioxidants, minerals and vitamins, similar to rooibos. As the name implies, it has a distinctly honey-like aroma. Naturally caffeine-free, honeybush has notes of peach, cedar and sweetgrass, with a pinkish golden hue in the cup.
ORGANIC BERGAMOT OIL
Italian Citrus
Bergamot is a citrus fruit the color of a lime and the size of a large orange. Picked when ripe, the thick peel is removed and pressed like an olive to extract its essential oils. It has a distinctive flavor and aroma with notes of lavender, lemon and spice.
ORGANIC LEMON MYRTLE
Australian Botanical
Organic Lemon Myrtle is grown in Eastern Australia and the evergreen bush can be cultivated multiple times per year. It provides the unmistakable citrus notes in our Ginger Rising.
ORGANIC LEMON PEEL
Spanish Citrus
Spanish lemon peel is world renowned for its vibrancy and aroma. The second largest producer of lemon in the world, Spain has a long history of cultivating lemon peel production for use in teas and other culinary applications. The peel is dark yellow with a distinct fruity quality to it. It’s bright, floral and slightly bread-like in flavor.
ORGANIC FRENCH LAVENDER
Botanical from Provence
A fragrant evergreen shrub with beautiful purple flower spikes that bloom every summer. French Lavender has a more delicate aroma than its English counterpart and is often used in aromatherapy for its calming properties. Drive through the hillsides of Provence during July with a convertible and breathe in its beautiful scent.
ORGANIC MACE
Aromatic Spice
Mace is a spice made from the lacy red aril that surrounds the seed of the Myristica fragrans tree. Once dried, it naturally curls into delicate blades and develops a warm, aromatic flavor with notes of cinnamon and pepper.
