Säpp Birch Water:

Made by Forests, Not Formulas

“The heart of essentialism isn’t about asking how little we can live with, but determining what we simply cannot live without”
— Margaret Everton

At Säpp we endeavor to offer you a tangible connection to nature.  It is surprising that in this day and age, there are few drinks which are based on sustainable sourcing and offer single, organic ingredients.  Which is why we have Säpp – organic, vegan, GMO-free birch water.

In Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, birch sap has been one of the most authentic and traditional indulgences for centuries.  The taste is pure, awakening, and refreshing.  Growing up, we always looked forward to the harvest. 

Now, at home in urban cities, birch water provides us with this tangible connection to nature.  It is a time-tested product free of artificial claims that most “health” drinks make.

We are first and foremost dedicated to quality and sustainability, working with local farmers to collect the highest quality water.  Each and every one of our customers deserves a premium experience that fits the demands of their active lifestyles.

 We are inspired by simplicity. 

We are Säpp.

Birch Water

Birch water is pure sap from birch trees.  It is popular because of its clear appearance and easy-to-drink nature.  Birch trees are one of life’s natural filters.  They spend the entire year absorbing rich and diverse minerals from the soil they grow upon.  During a few weeks in the springtime, the trees are tapped to yield a refreshing drink traditionally known for its low sugar content, minerals & antioxidants, and detoxifying benefits.  The taste is lightly sweet with a woody accent.

Säpp

Säpp Birch Water is USDA organic and contains one key ingredient – birch sap.  Harvested direct from hundreds of trees on sustainable land, it is never diluted with water.  It contains no added sugar, and on its own is among the lowest natural sugar plant-based drinks. It’s a great way to stay hydrated and refreshed.  Säpp also offers two unique and organic herbal infusions: with leaves of Nettle and berries of Rosehip.  These plants are unique to where we harvest our product.

Säpp works with local farmers to ensure we deliver the most authentic, organic birch water.  A mature tree can produce up to 25 gallons of sap per season, but we only take a small portion of that so our trees rest.  We also make sure not to use the same trees two seasons in a row.  Sustainability and simplicity are at the core of our value set.

What is Birch Water?

For the last week we've been posting on our social media channels about birch water; how it's made, and why it's awesome. Here is a roundup of some of the reasons why Säpp should be your new go-to for hydration:

 

Birch water is pure sap from birch trees. It's known as "birch water" because of its clear appearance and easy-to-drink nature, just like water (but better!), and we never dilute with added water.

 

Birch trees are one of life’s natural filters.  They spend the entire year absorbing rich and diverse minerals from the soil they grow upon. During a few weeks in the springtime, birch trees are tapped to yield a refreshing drink.

 

The diagram above shows how we extract Säpp from nutrient and mineral saturated birch trees in early spring.

 

At Säpp we're all about simplicity and sustainability. We work with local farmers to ensure delivery of the most authentic, organic birch water.

 

Our sourcing practices are designed to support the ecosystem in which our trees exist. A mature birch tree can produce up to 25 gallons of sap per season, but we only take a small portion of that so our trees have a chance to rest.

 

We avoid using the same trees two seasons in a row, so they can continue to grow and thrive in their environment and never get tapped out (pun intended).

 

Traditionally known for its low sugar content, minerals, antioxidants, and detoxifying benefits, birch water is considered a source of detox in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. 

 

Rich in minerals, particularly manganese: one bottle contains five times the amount in a cup of kale.
