Winner of 5 stars in The Times non-alcoholic taste test
“Real Kombucha… is 8,000% better than all other kombuchas on the market.” – Tomé Morrissy-Swan – The Independent
“We’ve long been huge fans of REAL, a proper grown-up kombucha that prides itself on the quality of the tea used and the complexity of flavour gleaned through fermentation rather than fruity mix-ins. It’s boss. As a former non-drinker, I can attest to the fact that their new cork-and-cage-bottled booch ticks all the boxes! Delightful.” – Joey O’Hare, Head of Development, allplants
“Popping it open, I still got the giddy excitement I always get when opening a bottle of bubbly. With aromas of white flowers, peaches and rhubarb, it had a fabulous zippy acidity on the palate and was pleasantly fruity, with a dry, savoury edge and a lasting length that felt refreshing, rather than synthetic and sugary.” – Sophia Longhi, SkinAndPulp
Storage
REAL Kombucha is a live product, so our drinks need some TLC. On delivery, store them in a cool place (ideally 20ºc or lower), refrigerate before drinking and make sure you consume before the use-by date. For the perfect REAL experience, here’s an article on what we believe to be the perfect serve.
Ingredients
First Flush Darjeeling tea, sugar, kombucha culture.
Royal Flush is brewed from First Flush Darjeeling, known in India as the Queen of Teas. The first two tips of tea, picked as they emerge in the first bloom of spring, are dried carefully to tease out all of its delicate character.

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, serve in a white wine glass or flute.
Always chill well and pour gently, definitely no ice. Then sit back and sip slowly to get the best out of the delicate flavours.
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.
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.

Absolutely delicious!! It is like champagne and it is such a good alcohol substitute.

Having been so pleased with my Dry Dragon order I tried the Royal Flush. I’ll confess to being a little disappointed that my batch doesn’t have the pinkish tones suggested by the name and evident in the photos but I am not unhappy as it is delicious. For me, the Royal Flush is a little sweeter/fuller than the Dry Dragon which I prefer, but both are lovely. I think it’ll be a perfect summer garden/bbq fizz as an alcohol alternative.

Many thanks for the review, SH. Our products are natural ferments so you may see a slight variant in appearance from batch to batch. And, of course, different lighting during different photo shoots will result in slightly different shades. But we’re so glad you like the flavour, and we’re looking forward to hearing back from you when BBQ season is underway!

Delicious, light with a lovely mouth feel. A bit expensive, so cannot buy as often. Will purchase in the future
