BREWED THE RIGHT WAY

Where most kombucha is fermented in 7 to 10 days, ours takes up to 30. Every can in the Tea of Life range is brewed to the same uncompromising standard — real ingredients, a living SCOBY culture, and no pasteurisation. Ever.

The 250ml can format brings REAL kombucha into every occasion — from the lunchbox to the bar, from the gym bag to the dinner table. All the live cultures and organic acids of our glass bottle range, in a convenient, chillable can that travels anywhere.

THE FIVE STAGES OF REAL FERMENTATION

01 The Tea (or botanical base) — Carefully chosen for flavour and functional depth.
02 The Culture — A living SCOBY transforms the base over weeks of slow fermentation.
03 Slow Fermentation — Up to 30 days. Lower sugar. Richer cultures. No shortcuts.
04 Second Fermentation — Sealed in aluminium. Natural carbonation builds from within. No added CO2.
05 No Pasteurisation — Never. The living cultures remain fully active in every can.

Live Cultures · Unpasteurised · No Added CO2 · Brewed in Cape Town · Gluten Free · Halaal Certified

Distinctly South African. In a can.

Buchu is one of South Africa's most revered indigenous herbs. Paired with lemon zest on a black and green tea base, this is bright, aromatic, and unlike anything else in the range. The one that could only come from the Cape.

Tasting Notes

Appearance	Pale gold with a delicate natural haze.
Aroma	Lemon verbena, citrus peel, herbal eucalyptus-like Buchu.
Palate	Bright and zesty. Distinctly indigenous character. Light-bodied with a clean herbal backbone.
Finish	Crisp with lingering herbal freshness.

The Brew

Buchu water at 1% and lemon zest at 0.2%, brewed on a black and green tea base. Buchu is a small aromatic shrub indigenous to the Western Cape fynbos, used traditionally for centuries. Its essential oils carry a distinctive herbal, citrus-adjacent character that is entirely its own. Buchu is traditionally associated with supporting urinary tract health and digestion.

REAL, unpasteurised, Halaal certified. Brewed in Cape Town since 2015.

As a mixer

Swap the soda for Buchu Lemon in your mojito — white rum, mint, lime, and this can. Also excellent with fynbos gin or plain tequila. Garnish with fresh mint and a slice of lemon.

HOW TO SERVE

Temperature
Serve ice cold — 4 to 6°C. The cans are best kept in the fridge and served directly from cold.

Serving
Pour over ice into a glass to fully appreciate the colour and aroma. Or drink directly from the can — this is REAL kombucha in its most convenient form.

Opening
Open slowly. The natural carbonation builds during storage and the cans are pressurised. Always open over a glass or sink and tilt slightly as you crack the ring pull.

Storage
Keep refrigerated at all times. Store upright. Consume within 3 days of opening if you choose to reseal — though they are best finished in a single serve.

Sediment
Natural yeast strands or fine sediment may be visible. This is a sign of genuine fermentation — safe and beneficial to consume.

As a mixer
Tea of Life cans are built for the bar. All six flavours work with spirits — pour less spirit, skip the sugary mixers, and let REAL flavour lead. See individual product pages for specific serve suggestions per flavour.
