Say hello to the future of drinking better. Earth’s Essence has just launched South Africa’s first naturally preserved wine, beer, and cider, and trust us, this is not just a product drop, it’s a wellness-level glow up for your fridge.
Forget sulphites, forget preservatives, forget those “why do I have a headache after one glass?” moments. Earth’s Essence uses the power of rooibos and honeybush antioxidants to naturally preserve every sip. No added chemicals, no synthetic nonsense, just pure flavour, proudly South African innovation, and drinks that love you back.
And before you ask, no, they don’t taste like rooibos tea. They taste like great wine, crisp cider, and smooth beer… just cleaner, fresher, and softer on the system.
