There is no “I” in team but there is in science! Inga and Monica knew exactly the type of hemp infused drink they wanted to produce but needed help to bring it to life. Creating the perfect mocktail requires more than a vision, it requires a Food Scientist. When the time arrived for formulation, they were fortunate to be connected with a Black female Food Scientist, Patrice Newsome. She worked with them tirelessly for almost a year to curate the perfect mocktail. The combination of this Black Girl team is Magic! Enjoy.
