Our Cinnamon, Ginger, Jujube, Persimmon flavor has 45 calories and 7g of sugar for a slight sweetness.

Why is there malic acid in the Cinnamon, Ginger, Jujube, Persimmon beverage?

Since we don’t use preservatives, malic acid is used to control the pH level to ensure safe beverage consumption without the need for refrigeration. It also helps bring out some of the complex flavors of the ingredients.

We use L-malic acid, which is naturally derived from apples.
