Meet your new favourite feisty, forest-foraged friend. We’ve bottled up the bold, unapologetic spirit of a British Columbia autumn and put it in a kit—because sometimes you need a little fire to handle the drizzle. This isn't your average, polite herbal tea. This is a Backcountry Brawler: a sharp, tangy, spicy-sweet tonic that’s been a mainstay of herbal medicine cabinets for generations. We’ve given it a distinct Kootenay twist by packing it with wild ingredients that don't shy away from a flavour fight. What’s In The Ring (The Ingredients): We’ve gathered a real dream team of the forest’s most robust characters: * Dried Wild Aronia & Rosehips: The tart-talking twins, packed with antioxidants and a vitamin C punch. * Dried Wild Oregon Grape Root: The bitter boss, bringing a golden-yellow intensity and earthy depth. * Dried Organic Ginger Root: The spicy instigator, here to turn up the heat and get things moving. * Dried Wild Juniper Berries: The aromatic sage, adding a crisp, piney, "I-just-walked-through-an-evergreen-forest" freshness. * Dried Wild Usnea Lichen: The silent, stalwart guardian, a prized boreal forest immune supporter, hanging around like a wise old beard on a hemlock tree. How It Works (The Fine Print & Fun): Heads up! This is a dry ingredient DIY kit. You’re the head brewer here! Making the tonic is a simple, rewarding process. You Provide: Apple Cider Vinegar, honey, a jar, and a dash of patience. We Provide: The wild, organic goods and easy instructions. Just steep, strain, sweeten, and boom—you’ve just made your own powerful wellness elixir. It’s kitchen witchery at its most satisfying. A Note from Our Lawyer (And Our Conscience): ❤️ Made with love in the Kootenays. Wildcrafted with care for the ecosystem. ⚠️ Health Canada Would Like Us to Say: This is a culinary ingredient kit for the creation of a traditional herbal vinegar.
