Gwell is a female-founded and Black-Owned business that makes functional tea cookies for guilt-free snacking that's plant-based, gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free and non-GMO. The minimally processed cookies take the form of shortbread bites that are just as enjoyable with tea as they are a cup of coffee or a cocktail.
Powered by sustainably sourced ingredients, the free-from tea cookies can be found in two varieties: Peach & Pomegranate Superfood Tea Cookies and Reishi & Chaga Adaptogen Tea Cookies. The latter, made with mushrooms, reinvents classic shortbread with a boost from mushrooms that have been revered for their numerous benefits for thousands of years.
Both nutritious cookies are made with a gluten-free flour base with alternative flours such as sweet rice and whole-grain brown rice flour, potato starch and more.
