BREWED THE RIGHT WAY

The Nootropic range is built on the same REAL kombucha foundation as every other Tea of Life product — whole leaf teas, a living SCOBY culture, slow fermentation for up to 30 days, and no pasteurisation. What sets it apart is what goes into the base before sealing.

Sceletium tortuosum at 1000mg per bottle at 90% purity is integrated before the second fermentation, allowing the botanical to become part of the living brew rather than being added as a finishing extract. Honeybush provides the tea base — naturally caffeine-free, subtly earthy, and South African to its core.

THE FIVE STAGES OF REAL FERMENTATION

01 The Tea — Honeybush, chosen for its earthy character and natural caffeine-free profile.
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 — Sceletium integrated before sealing. Natural carbonation builds from within.
05 No Pasteurisation — Never. The living cultures and botanical actives remain fully intact.

Calm. Clear. Grounded.

The Brew

Sceletium tortuosum, known as Kanna, is an indigenous South African succulent used traditionally for centuries to support mood and emotional wellbeing. Its alkaloids — including mesembrine — may gently support serotonin pathways and help promote a sense of calm and ease. At 1000mg per 340ml bottle at 90% purity, this is a meaningful dose integrated into a living SCOBY-fermented Honeybush kombucha base.

Slow fermented for up to 30 days. Never pasteurised. The botanicals integrate fully into the living brew during fermentation rather than being added as extracts after the fact.
