BREWED THE RIGHT WAY

Where most kombucha is fermented in 7 to 10 days, ours takes up to 30. That extra time is not incidental — it is the whole point. Slow fermentation naturally reduces residual sugar, builds a richer culture of beneficial acids, and develops the depth of flavour that fast fermented alternatives simply cannot replicate.

Every batch begins with whole leaf black and green teas, steeped and sweetened, then introduced to our living SCOBY — the same mother culture Elizabeth started with in 2015. The culture consumes the sugar over weeks, producing the organic acids, natural enzymes, and active probiotics that make REAL kombucha what it is.

THE FIVE STAGES OF REAL FERMENTATION

01 The Tea — Whole leaf black and green teas, chosen for flavour and functional depth.
02 The Culture — A living SCOBY transforms sweetened tea over weeks of slow fermentation.
03 Slow Fermentation — Up to 30 days. Lower sugar. Richer cultures. No shortcuts.
04 Second Fermentation — Sealed in glass. Natural carbonation builds from within. No added CO2.
05 No Pasteurisation — Never. The living cultures remain fully active in every bottle.

Citrus. Spice. Balance.

Grapefruit bitterness meets the warmth of ginger root, brewed on an oolong base for a kombucha that is endlessly drinkable. Clean, slightly bitter, and very moreish.

Tasting Notes
Appearance Golden amber with a pale citrus blush.
Aroma Fresh grapefruit pith and zest over a warm ginger backbone.
Palate An oolong base adds gentle depth. Grapefruit bitterness softens with long fermentation as ginger warms the mid palate.
Finish Clean, slightly bitter and long. Very moreish.
The Brew

Brewed on an oolong tea base — a tea that sits between green and black, offering a gentle depth that neither dominates. Fresh grapefruit and ginger root are added before the second fermentation, allowing their flavours to integrate fully into the living brew over time.

Grapefruit provides natural flavonoids and vitamin C. Ginger may help support digestive comfort. Together with 30 days of slow fermentation, this is a kombucha that may contribute to everyday wellness.
