🌱 Because "waste-free" and "actually cool" can coexist.

🌿 Local Love: Kettle & Hive Citron Tea Concentrate 🍵

We're big fans of this one! Kettle & Hive's Citron Tea Concentrate is a warm, citrusy staple worth stocking your pantry with — just spoon into hot water for an instant, soul-soothing tea (or stir into cold water/soda for a bright citron spritz).

Pick your flavour:
🍋 Original — classic citron, bright and comforting
🌸 Medley — a citrus blend for something a little more layered
🖤 Elderberry — citron meets elderberry for extra immune-loving goodness

📦 250g jar | $16
📍 Available now at Zero Waste Emporium, downtown Victoria

Perfect for chilly coast days ahead — swing by and grab a jar (bring your own container if you're feeling extra zero-waste, we'll happily refill!) 💛

Craving something specific? You can order directly with Ruthie through her Instagram, — slide into her DMs and place your order ahead of time, or just swing by and see what's fresh that day.

Support small, support local, support sweet. 🧁
