RIVR announced the launch of its new line of natural functional beverages rooted in more than a 1,000 years of ancestral wisdom, it says.
Owned by California’s Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians, RIVR’s products are crafted with a range of time-honored natural ingredients — including yerba mate and herbal teas blended with functional mushrooms, hemp-derived THC and adaptogens — dating back before the days of modern medicine, the company says.
RIVR is more than just a beverage; it honors the heritage of the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians, whose mission is to build financial freedom and sustainability for their future generations, the company says. Each of RIVR’s six SKUs combines centuries-old practices with modern innovation, offering consumers a range of wellness benefits through thoughtfully curated ingredients, it adds.
“RIVR is a full-circle realization of our Tribe’s ancestral wisdom — in a format that is most innovative and accessible to modern consumers,” said Michael Castello, tribal member and representative of the Soboba Economic Development Corporation (SEDC), in a statement. “Created sustainably with natural, functional ingredients, these drinks offer holistic benefits to a wide range of audiences who are seeking a true-to-land experience within the products they consume.”
RIVR’s products feature adaptogenic ingredients, including yerba mate for natural energy; functional mushrooms like lion’s mane, cordyceps, and reishi for cognitive and immune support; ashwagandha for stress-relief, concentration and energy support; and micro-dosed hemp-derived THC for a balanced, elevated experience, the company says.
The following lineup includes three functional (zero mg THC) and three micro-dosed (5 mg THC) options:
