A soft drink that uses kombucha — fermented tea — as its medium. The kombucha gives it a natural zing; we dial it back so the flavour leads rather than the ferment, then add fruit, botanicals and fizz.
It sits somewhere between kombucha and soda, on purpose — the soda people reach for when they thought they didn't like kombucha.
In two stages at our Bristol brewery. First we brew a kombucha culture from organic green tea, organic black tea and organic cane sugar, fermented with a SCOBY (a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast).
Then we blend it with fruit, botanicals and a little more organic cane sugar, chill it and add the fizz. The full ingredients list is on every product page and on the back of the can.
No. Kombucha gets its tang from fermentation, and some brews lean hard into it. We keep ours dialled back, so you get a light, natural zing rather than a vinegary hit.
Our drinks contain less than 0.5% ABV — a trace that occurs naturally during fermentation. That's why we don't call them alcohol-free: in the UK that term is for drinks at 0.05% ABV or below.
If you need to avoid alcohol completely, they're not the drink for you.
A small amount. The kombucha is brewed with organic green and black tea, so a little naturally occurring caffeine carries through to the finished drink.
No. The sweetness comes from organic cane sugar, plus fruit in most flavours. No sweeteners, artificial or otherwise.
It varies slightly by flavour. You'll find the full nutrition information on each product page and on the back of every can.
Yes. Our drinks are certified organic by the Soil Association (GB-ORG-05).
None of our drinks contain any of the 14 major allergens, and they're all made with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free ingredients.
Yes. We add a live culture (Bacillus subtilis) to every brew — you'll see it at the end of the ingredients list.
Store it somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, and serve it chilled. It's best within 12 months of production — the best-before date is on the base of the can.
Once opened, keep it in the fridge and drink it the same day.
Our drinks contain a trace of alcohol (under 0.5% ABV), a small amount of caffeine from tea, and a live culture. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your midwife or GP first.
