Non-alcoholic fermentation at its finest

Inspired by techniques going back over millennia, blended with processes from fine wines and craft beers, at Real Kombucha we really know our fermentation. Our unique brewing process builds on the delicacy of our teas with complex floral and fruity flavours, astringency and subtle acidity more commonly seen in the most carefully crafted alcoholic brews.

OUR STORY

A quest to discover the Truly Exquisite

Real Kombucha is brewed from hand-picked, loose-leaf fine teas carefully selected from small gardens around the world. Working closely with our very own tea expert, we have experimented with over 150 teas to develop our three individual brews. Focused on complexity of flavour, our drinks have an ability, unique amongst non-alcoholic drinks, to pair with a wide variety of different foods.

OUR KOMBUCHAS

Real Kombucha Dry Dragon Made from Dragonwell Green Tea

DRY DRAGON

Brewed from Dragonwell, a pan-roasted green tea from the area around Longjing Village in Zhejiang, China. Dragonwell makes a kombucha that is light and fruity with notes of grapefruit and lemon, with the clearly detectable undertone of green tea.

Real Kombucha Royal Flush made from First Flush Darjeeling tea

ROYAL FLUSH

Brewed from First Flush Darjeeling, known in India as the Queen of Teas. Picked by hand as the first tips emerge in spring, the tea is richly fragrant and creates a kombucha that is fresh with notes of rhubarb, white peach, almond and a subtle astringency.

Real Kombucha Smoke House made from Yunnan black tea

SMOKE HOUSE

Real Kombucha’s Smoke House is brewed from a high-grown black tea from the southwestern districts of the Yunnan province in Southern China. A delicious brew with a warm, golden colour and a rich, smokey flavour that reveals apple and caramel undertones.

Dry January, Veganuary, Go Sober… what can a month really do?

How many people give up alcohol for Dry January? How about Go Sober for October? Has Veganuary stolen a march on them both? Not that any of the above matters in the slightest, of course. Dry January and Go Sober for October do wonderful work regardless of the crowd...
