Team Summer Forever: Our PSL-Free Ritual *pumpkin spice latte

reishi cacao - perfect every season

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again (for the people in the back): we are not ready for pumpkin spice season. Everywhere we turn, it’s pumpkin this, cinnamon that, as if September means we’re all contractually bound to trade our iced coffees for PSLs and our beach walks for knit scarves.

Now, don’t get us wrong — we love a good maple syrup and cinnamon mix in our coffee year-round. And yes, Pumpkin Spice Latte, you do have your moment. Just… not yet. While the sun is still shining, the ocean still calls, and those long, golden SoCal evenings are ours to savor, we’re holding steady.

Why are we always rushing life? Why fast-forward through one season before we’ve fully lived it? Instead, we’re choosing to linger, savor, and elevate the small moments — like the first sip of a well-crafted wellness beverage. And that’s exactly why Roots & Bones has taken center stage in our daily ritual.

Meet Roots & Bones

Roots & Bones is a woman-owned, Southern California-based wellness brand crafting powdered medicinal herbs that are as beautiful as they are functional. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill supplements. They’re potent, thoughtfully sourced, and packaged in gorgeous jars you’ll actually want on your countertop.

  • Powdered blends: just ½–1 tsp in your tea, coffee, or hot chocolate.

  • High-quality sourcing: herbs that are potent yet approachable.

  • Flexible for the whole family: from kids’ hot chocolate to your morning coffee ritual.

These blends help you elevate everyday drinks into something luxurious, nourishing, and grounding — all while keeping you firmly in your summer groove.

Our Favorite Roots & Bones Blends

Rose Powder: The Feminine Hug

Rose is gentle, grounding, and quietly powerful — like a hug from generations of women before us. It softens the edges of your day and turns your cup into a little moment of luxury.

Benefits of Rose Powder:

  • Calms the mind and body

  • Adds subtle floral flavor to drinks

  • Provides grounding energy for a centered start

Marine Collagen: The Everyday Glow-Up

Marine Collagen is our secret “behind-the-scenes” boost for skin, hair, nails, and joints. It dissolves seamlessly into tea, coffee, or even hot chocolate, so your daily ritual feels both delicious and nourishing.

But here’s the real magic: this isn’t just any collagen. Roots & Bones sources a sustainable, ultra-absorbable blend of Type I, II, III & IV collagen from wild-caught deep-sea fish (cod, pollock, haddock). That means maximum potency, bioavailability, and benefits you’ll actually feel.

Then, it gets supercharged with:

  • Pearl powder – rich in calcium, magnesium, and over 30 trace minerals for radiant skin and strong bones.

  • Tremella mushroom extract – nature’s deep hydrator, supporting skin elasticity and a plump, dewy glow.

  • Bamboo silica – a natural booster for collagen synthesis, encouraging strong, healthy hair growth.

Benefits of Marine Collagen

  • Supports skin elasticity, hydration, and overall glow

  • Promotes strong, resilient hair and nails

  • Helps maintain joint health and connective tissue regeneration

  • Delivers a mineral-rich beauty boost from the inside out

  • Enhances your favorite beverage—without altering the taste

Out of all the things we add to our daily liquids- this one is the easiest.  No need to pair it with another flavor or get out the handheld frother to blend it in. It’s just an easy add to our everyday beverages.  

Reishi Mushroom: The Earthy Stabilizer

Reishi is known as the “queen” of mushrooms for a reason. Its earthy, grounding aroma connects us to the natural world, and when paired with caffeine, its healing properties are activated — perfect in coffee or hot chocolate.

Benefits of Reishi:

  • Supports immune system health

  • Grounding, stabilizing energy

  • Enhances the wellness effect of caffeinated beverages

Family-friendly tip: Stir into cocoa for a nourishing, cozy ritual the kids will actually enjoy.

Our Go-To Combo: Rose Mocha with Marine Collagen + Reishi

Hands down, our favorite way to use these three blends together is in a coffee or hot chocolate. Here’s why:

  • Rose brings grounding, feminine softness.

  • Marine Collagen delivers beauty-boosting benefits.

  • Reishi unlocks its healing properties alongside caffeine.

The result? A luxurious, wellness-packed drink that makes PSLs feel like a distant second.

Quick Recipe: Rose Mocha with Collagen + Reishi

  1. Brew 8 oz coffee or hot cocoa (decaf if it’s late afternoon).

  2. Stir in ½ tsp Rose powder, ½ tsp Reishi, and 1 tsp Marine Collagen.

  3. Sweeten lightly if desired (we like a touch of maple syrup).

  4. Enjoy slowly and savor every sip — summer’s still here.
