Kombucha for people who colour outside the lines.

Forget everything you think kombucha should taste like. This box is for the bold, the curious, and the ones who'd rather try something unexpected than play it safe. Six raw, unpasteurised kombuchas that push flavour into territory most brewers wouldn't dare go.

The Experimental Kombucha Box brings together six of the UK's most adventurous independent producers. Unusual pairings, surprising ingredients, and combinations that have absolutely no right to work as well as they do. Every bottle is alive, every one is the real thing, and every sip is a small act of delicious rebellion.


Why Gut Health Actually Matters

Your gut microbiome, the trillions of bacteria, yeasts, and microorganisms living in your digestive system, influences far more than just digestion. Immunity, energy, mood, even how well you sleep: your gut has a hand in all of it.

Raw kombucha is one of the most enjoyable ways to support it. Naturally fermented and rich in live cultures, organic acids, and beneficial enzymes, it actively feeds the good bacteria your gut needs to thrive. A daily ritual that tastes like a reward, not a remedy, and in this box, a genuinely surprising one.


Raw vs. Pasteurised: Why It Matters

Most kombucha on supermarket shelves has been pasteurised, meaning it's heat-treated to extend shelf life and standardise flavour. That process kills the live cultures, the bacteria and yeasts that give real kombucha its complexity, its natural fizz, and its gut-health credentials.

Raw, unpasteurised kombucha is alive. Still fermenting, still evolving, still packed with the organic acids, enzymes, and beneficial microorganisms that make it genuinely good for you. The flavour is more nuanced, the carbonation more natural, and the experience incomparable to anything you'll find next to the smoothies in Tesco.

Every bottle in this box is the real thing.


What's in the Box

Kompassion Kombucha — Scotch Bonnet Chilli
Fermented heat that builds slowly and lingers long. Complex, surprising, and genuinely unforgettable. The bottle that will make you question everything you thought you knew about kombucha.

You + I — Lemon & Lavender
Bright citrus meets soft floral in a pairing that sounds like a candle but drinks like a revelation. Delicate, aromatic, and quietly addictive.

Jack's Kombucha — Cream Soda
Nostalgic, playful, and completely unexpected. Cream soda kombucha shouldn't work. It absolutely does. The wildcard of the box and probably the one that surprises people most.

Blighty Booch — Nettle & Rosehip
Foraged, earthy, and deeply British. Nettle brings a green, mineral edge; rosehip adds a tart, berry-like sweetness. This is hedgerow kombucha, and it's brilliant.

Loving Foods — Hibiscus & Lime
Vivid, tart, and almost wine-like in its depth. Hibiscus gives this one a stunning ruby colour and a sharp floral tang that lime cuts through perfectly. One of the most visually striking kombuchas in the UK.

Twisted Kombucha — Strawberry, Hibiscus & Ginger
Three ingredients that each bring something different, sweetness, floral depth, and heat that somehow come together into one of the most complex and satisfying kombuchas in the box.


Six bottles. Six producers. Zero rules.

Drink them in order. Drink them blind. Share them with someone who thinks they don't like kombucha. And when you find the one that changes everything, you'll know exactly where to go next.

Important Information

What is Functional Drinks Club?

Functional Drinks Club is a shop in Leeds that helps people to live an alcohol free life and improve their gut health.

it's all about conscious living and helping people to turn off the auto-pilot switch and to experience life full on.

Where do the Kombuchas come from?

We handpick the Kombucha from the best UK Makers around.

Sometimes we'll throw in a European Banger we've come across that we want you to experience.

The key thing for us when it comes to Kombucha is that it's been made the real way.

Who is hand-picking the Kombuchas for the box?

Kombucha Kev will be handpicking the Booch that makes it into your box.

He's the Founder of Functional Drinks Club which was set-up to help people improve their gut health and go alcohol free.

You won't find anything in your curated box that Kev doesn't recommend or sell in the shop.

Can I order online and pick the box up in the shop?

You better believe you can.

Order your box, then come and collect it any day we're open once we've pinged you an email saying it's good to go.

The shop address for pick-up is:

Functional Drinks Club
17 Manor Square
Otley
LS21 1JQ

Why won't I find these bangers in the supermarket?

Because supermarkets don't care about selling their customers quality, they're only interested in profit.

And unfortunately, they're all tied in with the big drinks brands who take up a lot of the shelf space meaning the real bangers don't get the airtime they deserve.

Functional Drinks Club is Viva la Revolution.

Actually, we're just a shop that wants to make sure people get access to the real bangers being made in the UK.

How long does the delivery take?

Allow up to 4 working days for delivery depending on when you order it.

If you want it by the weekend then make sure you order no later than Tuesday.

Do you do returns?

Because we use real Kombucha, the product is bubbling with live culture making it hard to do returns.

But, we do have something in place.

We don't do returns on anything opened, or because you've taken a sip and decided you don't like it.

We're really confident that the latter won't happen because if we were selling rubbish no-one would come back to the shop in person.

If none of the above applies, we need to know within 24 hours of the box being delivered. Past that, who knows what you've been doing.

If you live local, happy for you to come into the shop as well to get bottles swapped out.

If the package is seriously damaged and the bottles inside are beyond anything, then send a picture to kevin@functionaldrinksclub.co.uk with you in it smiling and we'll look at getting a gift voucher to the equivalent amount your way.

At the end of the day, sometimes it just gets damaged in transit.

Why aren't your delivery boxes branded?

I used to send branded delivery boxes out, but then I read an article stating that over 80% of what we put in our green bins for recycling doesn't get recycled.

So, I decided to stop doing that and use the boxes that I get my deliveries in to the shop. That's why you'll have random branded boxes for your delivery.
