ÖselBirch was inspired by our beloved Grandma from Saaremaa (aka. Ösel). Every spring she would tap the trees and collect the nutritious and tasty birch sap and prepare it for fermentation. The fermented brich water was ready by the summer holidays and was the best refreshment on a hot day on a hayfield.
Birch water is tapped from birch trees in the early spring. Just right after the snow melts. In Nordic cultures, it has traditionally been the best revitalising drink from the nature. It nourishes the body with natural trace minerals and vitamins. Some even consider it to be a youth elixir.
In order to win the birch sap, we don not cut the birch trees, we tap the sap sustainably process it into healthy products for you! It is preserving forests and contributing to biodiversity because these forests are preserved for longer and are not cut down for timber. In addition, the birch tree remineralizes the forest soils and helps other species to grow.
OUR BIRCH SAP DRINKS
ÖselBirch birch drinks are more than just a better alternative to soft drinks! Birch water contains antioxidants like Manganese, traces of other important minerals and vitamins like Magnesium, Vitamin C and so on. You name it, birch water most likely has it!
The manganese contained in the birch water protects the cells from oxidative stress and supports normal energy metabolism and bone maintenance, as well as healthy connective tissue.
From our grandmother we learned the sustainable craft of tapping birch water and the craft of fermenting, which gives beneficial lactic acid bacteria and a unique taste bouquet.
ÖselBirch is an innovative and sustainable refresher based on Nordic traditions.

Our commitment to the environment and sustainability
Would you rather live next to a forest owner who sells their timber or who keeps the forest in tact by utilising the goods of the forest? There is only one planet and we need to treat it with respect and care. We, specifically think that forests are one of our greatest assets, to maintain biodiversity and absorb CO2. Collecting birch water is an excellent way for a forest owner to gain sustainable income off of their woodland without clearcutting.
Part of our profits also go towards non-profit organisations: Every bottle sold donates 3 cents towards World Cleanup Day and we are dedicated to planting new trees with Plant-for-the-planet.org
