Review: Juicera

Based in Boca Raton, Fla., Juicera produces a range of USDA Organic certified and high pressure processed juice blends.

Review: Humm Kombucha

Formerly known as Kombucha Mama, Humm Kombucha is a pretty unique looking brand, starting with its proprietary 14 oz. glass bottle. It has a whimsical look to it, both in the label design and the shape of the glass bottle.

Review: Zoos Greek Iced Tea

Positioned as "All Natural Greek Mountain Iced-Teas," Zoos Greek Iced Tea is a line of herbal tea products that are made from Sideritis (aka ironwort), which is a flowering plant. The drinks are pretty tasty with a mellow flavor that tastes pretty similar to white tea, but with an almost mint-like finish. We do, however, have mixed views regarding the the three varieties -- Original, Peach and Lemon.
