Wellness beverages

Apple cider vinegar, the tart tonic associated with a host of health benefits, is featured in several new beverages on display at the show.

“We’re seeing wellness drinks, especially for detoxifying your system or relaxation,” Ms. Purcell said. “That would be everything from hot to cold, teas that are designed for relaxing or cleansing.”

Fire Cider African Bronze from Shire City Herbals, Pittsfield, Mass., is an organic beverage with apple cider vinegar and African Bronze honey, a fairly traded multi-floral honey from Zambia, plus oranges, lemons, onions, horseradish, ginger, garlic, turmeric and habanero pepper. Tartly, San Ramon, Calif., offers a line of sparkling fruit shrubs made from fruit juices and apple cider vinegar in such varieties as blueberry lemon, lime mint and ginger pear.

Sonoma Syrup Co. Inc., Sonoma, Calif., features an organic Gravenstein Apple Cider Drinking Vinegar infused with organic lemon and vanilla.

Another trending ingredient, turmeric, continues to take over the tea category. New examples include Tuber Tonic from Mendocino Tea, Mendocino, Calif., featuring an herbal infusion of turmeric, ginger, elderberries, cinnamon and black pepper, and Shiitake Turmeric tea from Choice Organic Teas, Seattle, which offers “a whole-body balancing blend of mushrooms and herbs,” according to the company.
