This USDA Organic beverage blends regeneratively farmed organic yerba mate tea with the superfruit power of acerola berry puree. If that weren’t enough, each can of the Brazilian-brewed beverage contains a proprietary blend of Amazon adaptogens including suma root and Yanomami mushrooms.
Buriti juice is the secret to this wonderfully tart and refreshing shelf-stable beverage, which also contains apple and superfruit cocona juices. Considered an Amazonian superfruit, Buriti is wild harvested by indigenous communities in the Amazon using sustainable harvesting practices. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins A and C and minerals, the fruit is thought to support a healthy immune system.
This delicious cacao water is an ultra-clean, antioxidant-rich blend of just cacao juice, lime and cardamom with a light habanero kick. With 14 miligrams of magnesium, 163 miligrams of potassium and twice as many antioxidants than blueberries per serving, this refrigerated beverage reflects the company’s whole-cacao, zero-waste philosophy.
This cold-pressed watermelon juice blend contains 300% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C, thanks to the addition of superfood acerola juice. The other ingredients in this HPP (high-pressure processed) juice—one of four new functional blends—include strawberry juice, lime and hibiscus. Furthermore, the company is striving to create a vertically integrated farming and manufacturing supply chain working with small farmers in the Dominican Republic and the United States.
This new beverage represents a revival of an ancient tradition from the country of Georgia where rosehip juice has long been used to support immunity and improve digestion and energy, among other benefits. This USDA Organic iteration is made in the United States using only organic rosehip juice, water and a touch of organic stevia.

Why eat regular food when one can eat a diet made up of nutritional powerhouses packed with things like antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other good-for-you benefits?

Natural food industry entrepreneurs are innovating against these trends and finding new and more creative ways to do so. This is particularly true in the RTD beverage category, where many natural brands are also committed to sourcing their superfood ingredients using sustainable, organic, regenerative and mission-based practices.
