"My favourite flavoured kombucha of all the ones I tried."
- Fiona Beckett.
The Guardian
"Fine, delicate bubbles give a gentle burst in each sip, and stay stuck to the glass as it's swirled – if it were a wine, you'd say it 'has legs'. On the palate, it's oaky and full-bodied."
Sarah Lienard, AliceJohnston.
BBC Good Food.
"The best booch out there in my opinion 😉 Thanks for brewing it for us."

Fun facts

Just 2.9g of sugar per 100ml.

A SCOBY grows a new layer with every batch.

Every bottle is fermented with French oak.

Legend has it the name comes from Dr Kombu, a Korean physician said to have brought the brew to Japan in 414 AD.

Made with organic whole leaf Assam tea.

It's sometimes called mushroom tea, but there's no mushroom in it.

Never pasteurised, so every bottle is still alive.

The SCOBY is made of cellulose, spun by the bacteria themselves.

A certified B Corp.

In Japanese, kombucha actually means kelp tea, a completely different drink.

Brewed in Glasgow since 2017.

That tang is mostly acetic acid, the same acid that gives vinegar its bite.

SCOBY stands for symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.

Kombucha is thought to have first been brewed in north east Asia over 2,000 years ago.

Designers have grown SCOBY cellulose into a vegan leather.
