Key Botanicals and Their Traditional Uses
Berry Me brings together fruits, flowers, and warming spice, long appreciated in traditional herbal practices for balance, vitality, and natural radiance.
Each ingredient contributes its own character, color, and history to the cup.
Goji Berry
Long revered in Traditional Chinese practices, goji berries have been enjoyed for centuries as a nourishing fruit associated with vitality and overall wellness. Naturally rich in carotenoids, vitamin C, and plant antioxidants, they have traditionally been included in preparations intended to support skin luminosity and daily resilience. In the cup, they offer gentle sweetness and a jammy depth.
Hibiscus
Known for its deep crimson hue and lively tartness, hibiscus has been widely used in refreshing infusions across Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Naturally abundant in anthocyanins and plant acids, it has traditionally been enjoyed to promote circulation and vibrant skin tone. It brings brightness, color, and a crisp, juicy quality to the blend.
Elderberry
Used in European folk traditions for generations, elderberry has long been included in seasonal herbal preparations. Naturally rich in flavonoids and deep purple pigments, it has been valued for supporting immune resilience and overall vitality. In Berry Me, it deepens both color and fruit character.
Butterfly Pea Flower
Celebrated throughout Southeast Asia, butterfly pea flower is known for its striking blue pigment and its ability to shift color with citrus. Traditionally used in herbal beverages and skin preparations, it is rich in anthocyanins associated with antioxidant activity. It contributes both visual beauty and subtle floral softness.
Lemon Verbena
With its bright citrus aroma, lemon verbena has been grown in medicinal gardens for centuries. Traditionally enjoyed for digestive comfort and gentle relaxation, it also lifts the cup with fresh, clean brightness.
Cacao Nibs
The minimally processed form of the cacao bean, cacao has been honored in Central and South American traditions for centuries. Naturally rich in polyphenols, it has been associated with circulation and mood elevation. In the blend, it provides grounding depth and subtle bittersweet notes.
Cinnamon
A treasured warming spice used across cultures, cinnamon has long been included in preparations associated with circulation, metabolic balance, and vitality. It adds warmth, gentle spice, and a comforting finish that anchors the fruit forward elements.
Together in the Cup
These botanicals have long been appreciated for their color, nourishment, and role in traditional practices centered on balance and natural radiance. In Berry Me they come together in a jewel toned, fruit rich infusion layered with deep cacao and bright citrus notes. Designed to support moments of self-care, confidence, and radiance.
