FAQs

We at Raw Kombucha start with the best of Green Tea available to start our delicious drink. When a Kombucha Scoby (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast meets this delicious sweet green tea, it transforms it into a flavorful, tasty, fizzy Raw Kombucha. Most of that sweetness is used up by yeast and bacteria, making it a low sugar heart healthy drink- Kombucha.

As defined by Mayo Clinic, ” Kombucha tea is a fermented drink made with tea, sugar, bacteria and yeast. Although it is sometimes referred to as Kombucha mushroom tea, Kombucha is not a mushroom – it is a colony of bacteria and yeast. Kombucha tea is made by adding the colony to sugar and tea, and allowing the mix to ferment.”

These are strands of healthy culture! The culture is not visibly present at the time of bottling, but forms afterwards isn’t an indication that the kombucha is bad. In fact, it’s quite the opposite! It means your kombucha is alive and well, full of beneficial live bacteria. The longer Kombucha is bottled, more beneficial culture stands may appear, which may make the drink appear cloudy but it still retains all the health benefits.

Our products are naturally decaffeinated but may contain small amounts of caffeine, which may be beneficial.

The effervescence in Raw Kombucha products is 100% naturally occurring and can vary from batch to batch and bottle to bottle.

Everyone has a unique system, therefore we suggest listening to your body when trying to determine the appropriate amount for you. However, if you are a first-time consumer, it is best to slowly introduce Kombucha to your system; have 4-6 ounces and then gradually increase your intake.

Because it is a raw, living food, ALWAYS keep your Kombucha in the refrigerator (1° to 4.5°C). Additionally, Raw Kombucha should always be stored upright and never on its side.

Do NOT shake the bottle. If shaken, an overflow can occur due to the natural effervescence. To mix the sediment, we recommend tilting the bottle gently back and forth.

We advise to consume our Kombucha before the date printed. Given that it is living food, slow fermentation continues, making the product more tangy overtime. If refrigerated the product is not harmful several weeks after the best before date but the taste could change.

It is generally accepted that women should not introduce anything new to their system during pregnancy. Therefore, we always advise consulting with your doctor.

So it is not how much sugar was added to make Kombucha but ultimately how much sugar is left in it at the time you are drinking it. And technically, it is several times less than what is in your juice or most other carbonated beverages.
In short, if you are looking for a low sugar option for an invigorating drink, look no further. Raw Kombucha is answer to your prayers.

Kombucha’s probiotic benefits replenishes the diseased microbiome and maintains a healthy microbiome.

Start slow in the beginning by consuming only 4 ounces or half a cup of Kombucha. Once your body gets used to this powerful drink, you may consume up to a bottle or more depending on your body requirement/tolerance.

Usually it is recommended to have about 4 ounces or half a glass at a time. You may have it as is, or even mix it with water or with any juice-fresh or bottled.

But usually, one bottle gives you enough goodness to last throughout the day whether had in one go or sipped intermittently.

From childhood we are taught that fruit juices are good for us. What we forget is that most juices are just extracted that leaves behind the beneficial fiber from the fruit. What we consume as Juice is a drink loaded with sugar, even if touted to be sucrose or natural fruit sugar. Too much sugar in any form is not good for our body.
Here Kombucha has come to our rescue. Though there is sugar added at the beginning for the yeast to start working its magic; by the time this beneficial potion is ready, the sugar level gets drastically reduced, about 2-8 grams per 8 oz versus almost 24 grams in 8 oz of Orange juice.
Apart from high sugar content in juice, Kombucha wins this race by having heavy hitters like Probiotics, Enzymes, Amino Acids, Antioxidants, and Organic Acids.
