Best New Beverage: Global Family Farms Sherpa Power
Sherpa Power's trio of teas feature Nepalese green or black tea sweetened with yacon—a high mountain tuber cooked down into a low-glycemic syrup—and boosted with the ayurvedic herbs amla and ashwagandha. Sherpa Power hits key trends in the beverage category, such as ancient wisdom, use of whole leaf brewed tea, alternative sweeteners and adaptogenic herbs, but it's also driven by a worthy mission: Sherpa supports a Nepalese women’s group and local sustainable farming co-ops.
