There is no added sugar in Sparkling Botanicals by Rishi. The only sugars are from the brewing of real fruits and herbs. The flavor profiles range from 5-15 calories with 1-4 grams total carbohydrates and 0-2 grams of total sugars. Though we are a food and beverage company and cannot make health claims, the caloric and nutrient information fits easily within each of these dietary methods, as well as the types of fruits, teas and herbs used to brew Sparkling Botanicals.

Although we use nearly 100% organic ingredients in our Sparkling Botanicals, we have not yet applied for USDA certification. This is for a couple of different reasons. Firstly, we source ingredients of such rarefied quality that we must be nimble enough to work with multiple different growers that may work in regions where, although the highest of agricultural practices are observed, it cannot be economically justified for them to go through the certification process.

Secondly, boutique co-packing manufacturing simply did not exist when we began this project. For that reason, we built our own plant and are currently working through the organic certification process. As we expand and scale, we will continue to collaborate with partners committed to the highest manufacturing processes.

No, Sparkling Botanicals is not certified Kosher due to similar conditions outlined in our organic certification. Firstly, we source ingredients of such rarefied quality that we must be nimble enough to work with multiple different growers where various products will be combined. Secondly, boutique co-packing manufacturing simply did not exist when we began this project. For that reason, we built our own plant and collaborate with partners, which limits the ability to certify every lot of product.
