Naturally Driven
 |
Beverages |
An idea that was brought to life by two friends on the dance floor at a festival, sharing our love of Yerba Maté. We contemplated why there was a distinct lack of low sugar, non-alcoholic beverages that contained natural energy with real health benefits made with organic ingredients. We came to the realisation that not many people in Australia knew of the magical South American herb - Yerba Maté. So why not create a new type of energy drink to share with the Australian market. One that was all natural, organic, low sugar, naturally caffeinated, and most importantly, really tasty!! Our first mission: Find the best quality, sustainable and ethically sourced Organic Yerba Maté. Our next mission: To turn those amazing tea leaves into a tasty, natural energy drink with no added caffeine or horrible tasting sweeteners. We found that by cold brewing, we lock in all the nutrients and retain the high levels of caffeine from the Yerba Maté leaf. Though we had no idea of the mammoth task ahead of us. Countless trials and Yerba Maté down the drain, an exploding brewery and not to mention long COVID delays… All this to make the perfect energy drink. So here we are, 2 years later - We have an amazing range of ACO certified organic teas, Two sparkling organic Yerba Maté bevvies made from nothing but nature. We also teamed up with Rainforest Rescue to produce eco-friendly accessories and to help raise money and awareness about regenerating rainforests! |

Beef organs are a primary source of Vitamin A, B vitamins and iron. In this article we dig deep into the benefits of beef organs. Ancestral Nutrition has chosen to source our beef organs from Australia's only island state that is over 300 km distant from the mainland and sits deep in the empty Southern Ocean.

Discover how the other pillars contained in the Primal Code can help you live a life full of vitality, strength, resilience and happiness. Ancestral Nutrition remembers that traditional peoples, indigenous groups and early ancestral healers knew that eating the organs (liver, heart and kidney) from a healthy animal would strengthen and support the health and immunity of the individual. Organs were a staple of our early ancestors' diets as the ultimate superfood, for good reason. It turns out, this nourishing tradition is backed by science. Ancestral Nutrition has carefully manufactured premium freeze dried beef organs to help you remember a stronger and healthier you.

Apostle Hot Sauce
 |
Food & Beverage |
Apostle is a small team of three, Mat, Lydia and their dog Ben. Mat had been concocting delicious sauces, ferments and spice mixes for years, so in an attempt to get to know their community better, they started selling them at their local market in Paekākāriki. With an overwhelmingly positive response, they decided to do more. With Lydia’s background in graphic design and their shared love of great food, they thought this would be a wonderful way to utilise their individual skills and passions to create something beautiful together. They draw inspiration for their flavours from the diverse culinary landscape of Aotearoa, blending the best of local flavours to make every dish enjoyable. Heavily inspired by Roman Catholic artwork, Greek Orthodox iconography, Irish Illuminated Manuscripts and Tarot de Marseilles, each bottle and its contents are considered a work of art, a gift from their hearts to your plate. |
