At this year's Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California, Health-Ade unveiled its newest addition to its line of Super-Teas, which pairs powerful superfoods with raw, organic kombucha.
The newest kombucha flavor pairs cacao with the reishi mushroom, a combination that adds a hint of sweetness and adaptogenic properties to an already beneficial base of probiotic-rich fermented tea, or kombucha. Across the food and beverage industry, medicinal mushrooms are appearing in all sorts of unexpected places, from instant coffee mixes to nutritional snack bars, to provide a range of benefits for the mind and body.
Some of the other unique Super-Teas from Health-Ade incorporate superfood ingredients like spirulina, camu camu, maca root and hawthorn berry.
