This buyer's guide from Traverse Bay Farms breaks down sediment-free tart cherry juice concentrate cost and servings per bottle, using our Michigan-grown Montmorency cherries sourced from family orchards in Northern Michigan since 2001.
- One 16 oz bottle of tart cherry juice concentrate costs $19.95 at Traverse Bay Farms.
- Each bottle delivers 16 one-ounce servings — a full gallon of ready-to-drink cherry juice.
- Single serving runs about $1.25; case pricing drops to roughly $1.12 per glass.
How Much Does a Bottle of Sediment-Free Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate Cost?
A straightforward look at price per bottle, servings per pour, and what each glass really costs.
If you are close to buying, two numbers matter most: what a bottle actually costs and how far it goes. At Traverse Bay Farms, a glass bottle of Montmorency tart cherry juice concentrate is about $1.25 or less per serving. That single bottle makes over two weeks of servings — roughly a full gallon of finished cherry juice once you add water.
That is the short answer on tart cherry juice concentrate cost. The longer answer matters too, because the sticker price alone does not tell the full story. A single bottle holds the juice of approximately 1,600 Montmorency cherries, pressed down into a shelf-stable glass bottle small enough to tuck in your fridge. Per serving, that works out to about $1.25 for an 8 oz glass. Buy the case, and the number drops further while shipping goes free. This guide walks through the numbers, the serving math, and why the bottle earns its place in your routine.

Sourcing
Michigan-grown Montmorency cherries, 7:1 concentrate at 68 Brix, bottled in glass. Never imported from China, Turkey, or Poland.
The Traverse Bay Farms Difference
Family-owned since 2001 and shipping to all 50 states. Over two decades refining one product line built on Michigan-grown Montmorency cherries — never imported from China, Turkey, or Poland. We have earned 38+ national food awards since 2008 and back every bottle with the industry's first and only sediment-free guarantee.
What Makes This Product Stand Out
Our concentrate is a true 7:1 reduction — 68 Brix — which is the highest commercial concentration for tart cherry juice. That is why one ounce delivers the juice of roughly 100 cherries. Glass bottling protects flavor and avoids plastic leaching. The sediment-free guarantee means what you pour at the end is what you pour at the start.
- 7:1 concentration at 68 Brix — One ounce equals roughly 100 Montmorency cherries. A small pour goes a long way, which is why the per-serving cost stays low.
- 16 one-ounce servings per bottle — That works out to about $1.25 per 8 oz glass of finished juice.
- Glass bottle — Protects flavor, avoids plastic leaching, and keeps the concentrate shelf-stable for up to nine months unopened.
- Sediment-free guarantee — The first and only guarantee of its kind in the tart cherry industry.
- 100 percent Michigan-grown Montmorency — Single ingredient. No added sugar, no preservatives, no fillers, never imported.
What to Expect When You Open It
When you open your first bottle, the aroma hits first — dense, clean, unmistakably cherry. The pour is thick and deep ruby, almost syrupy. That is what a true 7:1 concentrate looks like. Some customers are caught off guard by how tart it is. It is real sour cherry flavor, not a sweetened cherry drink.
Stir two tablespoons into cold water and the color turns bright ruby immediately. Some customers mix it with sparkling water, smoothies, or overnight oats. Most keep it simple and drink it. Stored unopened in a cabinet, a bottle stays fresh for up to nine months. After opening, refrigerate and use within three months, or freeze for up to six.
Getting the Most from Every Serving
A standard serving is 1 ounce — 2 tablespoons — mixed with 7 ounces of water. That gives you an 8 oz glass of 100 percent tart cherry juice. The bottle cap doubles as a rough one-ounce measure if you prefer not to hunt for a tablespoon.
1
Measure 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of concentrate.
2
Add 7 ounces of water (or sparkling water, tea, or smoothie base).
3
Stir and enjoy your 8 oz glass of real tart cherry juice.
After more than two decades working with tart cherry concentrate, we have found that consistency matters far more than timing. One ounce a day, most days, for long enough to notice how it fits your routine. Some customers take it before bed. Others pour it after exercise. There is no required window.
The cost is roughly $1.25 per glass of real cherry juice at home — less than most coffee-shop drinks for a pour that actually earns its place in the fridge.
Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate Cost: A Better Way to Buy
Sometimes a bottle of cherry juice concentrate can look expensive next to a $4 cherry drink on the grocery shelf. The comparison changes once you look at what is actually in each bottle.
Most shelf-stable cherry drinks are sweetened, blended with cheaper juices like apple or grape, or bottled in plastic. Many use imported concentrate grown overseas. The volume looks generous. The actual tart cherry content often is not.

Our bottle is single-ingredient Montmorency — Michigan-grown, 7:1 reduction, glass-bottled, sediment-free guaranteed. Each bottle yields a gallon of finished juice. At case pricing, that is about $1.12 per 8 oz serving with free shipping included. The price is not the cost of a drink. It is the cost of real cherry servings, delivered to your door. For readers who prefer a capsule format, our Tart Cherry Capsules are worth comparing on a per-serving basis too.
