Unveiling Schisandra Berry's Mysteries and Grade School Memories
“It's funny that it's called the five flavor, berry or whatever, and that it's supposed to have all these different things. It doesn't at all have the same ingredient list as the other sparkling botanicals, but it does have some similarity in palette, which is the same, like earthy dank chlorophyll root. I mean it could be that if this is just a berry, then that's very interesting.”

In this episode of 'This Week in Sparkling Water', host Joakim Eriksson takes you on a flavor journey with Schisandra Chinensis, also known as the five-flavor fruit from the Russian Far East.
