SUSTAINABLE HYDRATION SAPSUCKER MAPLE TREE FILTERED WATER

Sapsucker is water harvested from mature Ontario maple trees, technically called sap. If their forests are cared for, maple trees can produce sap from maturity until 100 years or more. Maple water can be substituted for regular water and has its own slightly sweet taste. The water is NonGMO verified and organic certified. It goes from the maple tree to Tetra package in 36-48 hours in order to maintain freshness. The 250 mL Tetra packs fit perfectly in a school lunch bag and are resealable for sipping on throughout the day.

" The taste of maple sap is one of the best-kept secrets of country life. "
