FAQs
What is kombucha?
Kombucha is a fermented tea drink made by fermenting sweetened tea with a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). The result is a naturally fizzy, probiotic-rich beverage with a tangy, slightly sweet flavour.
What are the health benefits of kombucha?
Kombucha contains live probiotics that support digestive health, B vitamins, organic acids, and antioxidants from tea. Regular consumption may aid gut health, support immune function, and improve digestion.
Can kombucha help with gut health?
Kombucha contains live probiotics and organic acids that may support a healthy gut microbiome. While research is ongoing, many people report improved digestion and regularity with regular consumption.
How much kombucha should I drink per day?
Most people start with 100-200ml per day and gradually increase to 330ml (one bottle). Listen to your body, some people enjoy it daily, while others prefer a few times per week.
What brands of kombucha do you stock?
We carry the UK's largest range, including Blighty Booch, Momo, You + I, Mighty Brew, and other premium raw and organic brands. Browse our full collection online.
Do you deliver kombucha across the UK?
Yes, we deliver nationwide with options for one-off orders, mixed cases, and monthly subscription boxes. We also offer local delivery in Otley and Leeds.
How is kombucha different from other fermented drinks?
Unlike kefir (fermented milk), kimchi brine, or kvass, kombucha is specifically tea-based and fermented with a SCOBY culture. It has a unique flavour profile and probiotic composition distinct from other fermented beverages.
What's the best kombucha for beginners?
Start with lightly flavoured or fruity varieties like ginger, elderflower, or mixed berry. These balance kombucha's natural tang with approachable, familiar flavours. Browse our full kombucha range.
How long does kombucha last once opened?
Once opened, consume within 3-5 days for optimal flavour and fizz. Keep it refrigerated and sealed tightly.
Does kombucha need to be refrigerated?
Yes. Refrigeration slows fermentation and keeps your kombucha fresh, fizzy, and safe to drink. Store between 2-4°C for best quality.
Is kombucha vegan and gluten-free?
Most kombucha is naturally vegan and gluten-free, as it's made from tea, sugar, and cultures. Always check individual product labels if you have specific dietary requirements.
Can children drink kombucha?
Due to the trace alcohol content, caffeine from tea, and live cultures, kombucha is generally recommended for adults. Consult your child's healthcare provider before introducing kombucha to children.
