A Letter From The Founder

The best ideas are often born from mistakes. In college, I had a sore throat I couldn’t shake. A friend told me to boil a root of ginger in water, add lime, and I'd feel better in “no time.” I had my doubts but I tried it anyway! While boiling the ginger I got distracted and forgot about it. Although most of it evaporated, the little that was left was ultra-potent so I drank it straight, with no lime or sweetener.

The accidental ginger extract that I brewed was so strong that I could instantly feel it working on my throat. Within an hour, I noticed a significant difference in the soreness of my throat. From that point on, ginger became the root (pun intended) of my everyday wellness practices. When out and about, I noticed ginger teas and beverages on the market were never as strong as my homemade brew.

This prompted me to create Ginja Snap! After a few trial runs of selling my brew at my brother’s vintage store in Philadelphia and a positive response from family and friends, I was committed to sharing Ginja Snap with the world.

Enjoy!
