It's not water with a squirt of maple syrup - it's actually 100% Pure Canadian Maple water straight from the tree, unprocessed and un-concentrated watery sap that's harvested straight from the maple tree. It only flows from the maple tree in early spring. The tree pulls in groundwater from the soil through its roots, and then draws the water up its trunk and into all of its branches, where the H2O picks up its delicate maple essence. The trunks are then tapped to collect this delicious maple water.
