Heartberry Raspberry Fireweed
Heartberry Raspberry Fireweed
Softer Specialty Drink Co.
Delicious and groundbreaking, these new drinks are from Canada's first Indigenous-owned non-alcoholic drink company. These overdeliver on flavour and complexity -- you will be wowed!
The delicate sweetness of fresh raspberries is balanced out by refreshing Ihkapaskwa —also known as fireweed— giving this soda its revitalizing flavour. Lavender is also added to enhance the floral profile. Fireweed processing for tea shares many commonalities with Camellia Sinensis tea processing, particularly as is done for semi-fermented oolongs. The controlled oxidation of phytochemicals in the leaves creates unique, aromatic notes that in this drink perfectly complement the dry but juicy raspberry flavour.
This drink is an absolute stunner, we were blown away at first sip. With the perfect balance of approachable flavours and unique aromas, this one is a crowdpleaser that will have you coming back for more.
Heartberry's craft sodas draw their quality not just from exceptional, small-batch craftsmanship but also from the savvy use of native ingredients with traditional use as food and medicine. The too often underappreciated wild botanicals of North America deserve our relish and respect, and it's only right that Canada's first certified Indigenous-owned soft drink company should take centerstage.
