The Lima Rose
Tart Summer Refreshment & Spiced Winter Shield
$15.00
The Taste: This is the tea that tastes like summer sunshine in a glass and winter warmth in a mug.
Crafted from Hibiscus, Rosehips, Elderberry, and native Sumac—this blend is a delightful explosion of tart, fruity flavor. It reminds you of childhood Kool-Aid, but packed with potent antioxidants, natural vitamins, and minerals. This blend has all the unhidden flavors. In the summer, add a pinch of salt for an ice-cold, hydrating refresher, and in December, we offered it spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and orange peel for a non-alcoholic mulled "wine." Whether you're cooling down or warming up, this blend is a fortifying shield for the whole family—simple, delicious, and deeply satisfying.
