Kombucha Basics

What is kombucha?

Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage made using sweetened tea and a culture of bacteria and yeast. Fermentation develops its characteristic tang and natural carbonation.

What is a SCOBY?

SCOBY stands for Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast. It is the fermentation culture used to make kombucha.

How is it brewed?

The process includes an initial fermentation of tea with the culture, followed by a bottled second fermentation that develops flavour and natural carbonation.

What does kombucha taste like?

Expect a refreshing balance of tang, sweetness and natural fizz. The tea base and flavour ingredients give each variety its own profile, from tea-led and floral to fruity, herbal or coffee-led.

Is it naturally fizzy?

Yes. Its fizz develops naturally through fermentation. Carbonation can vary slightly between bottles and batches.

Why can the taste differ between batches?

Like wine, small-batch kombucha can vary slightly from batch to batch. Natural ingredients and fermentation may create subtle differences in sweetness, tartness, aroma and fizz, while retaining each flavour’s distinctive character.

Serving and Everyday Enjoyment

How much should I serve if I am new to kombucha?

For a first tasting, you can start with a small pour of around 60–120 ml. If you enjoy it, a glass of around 250–350 ml is another serving option.

These are suggested portions, not a required daily intake. Choose an amount according to your preference.

Can I drink it every day?

You can enjoy kombucha according to your preferences as part of a varied diet. There is no required daily amount. It contains sugar, caffeine and trace alcohol, so consider your individual dietary needs.

When is the best time to enjoy it?

Choose a time that suits you: a chilled refreshment, alongside a meal or during an afternoon break. If caffeine affects your sleep, take that into account when choosing the time and flavour.

How should I serve it?

Serve well chilled. Pour into a clean glass and enjoy on its own or over ice. Keep the remaining drink refrigerated and tightly capped between servings.

Can I enjoy it with food?

Yes. Tea-led flavours can accompany a meal, fruit flavours offer a bright pairing direction, and botanical flavours bring floral or herbal character. Choose combinations you enjoy.

Can I use it in mocktails or recipes?

Yes. Enjoy it as a mocktail base or explore suitable drink and culinary recipes, including dressings and marinades. Ingredients added to a recipe are separate from the kombucha’s own ingredients.

Is kombucha a medicine or supplement?

Kombucha is a food and beverage product, not a medicine. Enjoy it for its flavour and beverage experience rather than as a treatment or a guaranteed health intervention.

Who should seek individual advice before drinking it?

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, choosing drinks for a young child, have weakened immunity or an underlying medical condition, seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional about whether this unpasteurised fermented drink suits your circumstances.

What if I am managing blood sugar?

The drink contains sugar and is not sugar-free. Ask your doctor or dietitian how it fits your dietary needs, particularly if you use blood-sugar-management medication.

Can I drink it while taking medication?

Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have concerns about combining fermented drinks, caffeine or trace alcohol with your medication.

Storage and Opening

How should I store it?

Keep refrigerated at 4–7°C, upright and away from direct sunlight. Refrigerate promptly after delivery. Do not freeze.

How long does it keep unopened?

Unopened kombucha generally keeps for three to six months when correctly refrigerated. The remaining shelf life of the stock supplied depends on its batch; ask Botaniko if you need the date before ordering.

How long does it keep once opened?

Once opened, keep refrigerated at 4–7°C and consume within 7–14 days. Keep the bottle tightly capped between servings.

Can its flavour change during storage?

As a fermented drink, its flavour may develop over time. After opening, carbonation may gradually diminish. Keep it refrigerated and consume within 7–14 days.

What are the sediment, strands or jelly-like pieces?

Sediment, strands and jelly-like fermentation culture can occur naturally in unfiltered kombucha. You may strain them out if you prefer.

If something appears unusual or you are unsure about the condition of a drink, ask Botaniko for assessment rather than assuming every change is normal.

Should I shake the bottle?

No. Shaking can cause naturally carbonated kombucha to overflow. To redistribute settled culture, gently invert the chilled, closed bottle once, then let it rest briefly before opening.

How do I open it without spillage?

Keep it chilled, handle it gently and open slowly to release pressure gradually. Allow the fizz to settle before pouring. Do not shake.

Can I leave it at room temperature?

Avoid extended warm storage. Fermentation and carbonation can continue in warmth. Keep the drink refrigerated and return it to the refrigerator promptly after serving.

Where can I find payment and delivery information?
