Description
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 the clearly detectable undertone of green tea. Go on, try it for breakfast instead of a juice.
Royal Flush
Brewed from first flush Darjeeling, known to be the Queen of Teas. Picked by hand as the first tips of the plant begin to emerge in the spring, the tea is richly fragrant and creates a kombucha that is fresh and floral with notes of rose, vanilla and quince but with a subtle astringency.
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 brew with a warm, golden colour and a rich, smokey flavour that reveals apple and caramel undertones.

Dry Dragon Serving Suggestions
Always chill well and pour gently into a wine or champagne glass, definitely no ice. Then sit back and sip slowly to get the best out of the delicate flavours.
THE PERFECT SERVE
This kombucha ferments to give delicate citrus notes of grapefruit and sweet lemons, grounded in a definite vegetal, green tea back note and a longer, fuller-bodied finish. On the tongue it tastes more acidic as we interpret those initial citric flavours.
FOOD PAIRING
A wonderful all-day drink, ideal for general refreshment and hydration. Dry Dragon is great with fresh summer salads, green vegetables, shellfish or fruit. It sits naturally alongside light, fresh Asian dishes. Serve ice-cold to allow the fresh aromas to circulate before the first taste.
MODERN MIXOLOGY
Dry Dragon is a great mixer for alcohol-free cocktails gagging for real complexity. The greater acidity means it cuts through other flavours such as limes, basil, mint and infusions. Our mixologist friends say it has quickly become an essential part of their toolkit.
Royal Flush Serving Suggestions
Best served cold. At room temperature, the live Kombucha culture will gradually sour the flavour. Nothing harmful, but may not be to your taste. Once opened, keep refrigerated and consume within 3 days.
Kombucha contains all the good stuff in tea, plus a live culture of positive probiotics and organic acids that support a healthy gut and active digestion. Contains just a trace amount of alcohol and a little bit of caffeine to perk up your day.
THE PERFECT SERVE
Royal Flush brews to give rich notes of rhubarb and gooseberry, rounding out to white fruits maybe a touch of black currant. A delicate floral acidity with a relatively short finish makes Royal Flush fresh and bright. Ideal as a celebration drink in place of a champagne, serve in a white wine glass or champagne flute.
FOOD PAIRING
Royal Flush pairs well with white meats, white fish and umami-rich cream sauces. It also works well as an aperitif, with charcuterie, in place of sauterne with foie gras or dessert wines with pudding.
MODERN MIXOLOGY
Big flavours can overpower the delicate subtleties of Royal Flush, so many mixologists we work with use it for a Kir or a Bellini.

THE PERFECT SERVE
Smoke House is rich, rounded and full of apple and caramel with a delicate smokey top note. While you notice the tea character more than with the other brews, most would guess they were drinking a light natural cider.
FOOD PAIRING
Smoke House serves well alongside robust meats, spicy and smoked foods or full-flavoured sauces. It’s also fantastic with rich desserts or as a relaxing post-dinner digestif.
MODERN MIXOLOGY
Fermented from a black tea, Smoke House holds chocolate, malt and floral characters well, making it an ideal mixer for rums, whiskies and big-flavoured spirits. It also blends well with dry spices and green herbs.
