Why We Love This Jiaogulan Tea Juice Blend

​This pretty-colored juice has an outrageously tasty and unique flavor.

Here’s  the thought process behind creating the blend from juice expert and chef Ari Sexner:

“We have been experimenting more and more with juice and tea combinations to create exciting new juice blends.
