Thanks to Covid, things may look and feel a little different when you’re shopping in our stores these days, but behind the scenes our buyers have been working as hard as ever to source delicious new items.

Here are six new products we hope you’ll love as much as we do.

Union Market - Rasa Coffee Alternative
  • Rasa Adaptogenic Coffee Alternative

This women-owned, organic coffee alternative is made with wildcrafted and sustainably harvested herbs, botanicals, and adaptogens that mimic the rich flavor of coffee while boosting immunity, energy, and focus. Rasa’s Original and Bold herbal blends are fantastic alternatives to coffee. If you’re not ready to give up caffeine just yet, then their Dirty blend, which combines herbal adaptogens with Fair Trade coffee, is a great option too.

Already a staff favorite, Berry Bissap is a Black-owned company from the Hudson Valley that makes bissap, a nutritious and refreshing spiced hibiscus tea popular in West Africa. This caffeine-free, slow-brewed tea is made with ethically sourced hibiscus flowers, aromatic spices, and fruit. Available in Cinnamon Citrus, Mixed Berry, and Original.

Union Market - Blue Pepper-Farm Sheep's Milk Yogurt

Creamy, delicious, small-batch yogurt from pasture-raised sheep on Blue Pepper Farm in the Adirondack mountains. This yogurt is so silky, mild, and smooth, it must be tasted to be believed!
