Founding Story
The founder, Nina Tickaradze, is originally from the country of Georgia and she moved to the United States as a teenager and has lived in the state of Georgia ever since. Rosehip drinks are a big tradition in her native land, and her grandmother foraged for wild berries and made a tea-like drink to keep the whole family healthy. Rosehips are known for their high concentration of Vitamin C, they are powerful immunity boosters.
Fast forward, and Nina wanted to do something to give back to the country of Georgia. There are a lot of refugees who have been displaced by war, and they had to leave their homes and possessions behind and were living in makeshift camps in the forests of the Caucasus Mountains. One day, an idea struck. She could hire refugees to produce the juices, and help them earn a steady income while also bringing this ancient Georgian health tradition of rosehip drinks to the rest of the world.
