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?

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.
