Experimental Kombucha Box

Kombucha for people who colour outside the lines

Forget what you think kombucha should taste like. This box is for the curious, the bold, and the ones who always order the weird thing on the menu just to see what happens.

Six raw, unpasteurised kombuchas from six different UK makers. Cream soda. Nettle and rosehip. Scotch bonnet chilli. Pairings that sound like a dare and have absolutely no right to work as well as they do.

Perfect for a blind tasting, a dinner party, or the mate who reckons he's tried everything.

What's in the box

Kompassion Kombucha, Scotch Bonnet Chilli
Fruity up front, then a slow-building chilli kick. The bottle that makes you question everything.

You + I, Lemon & Lavender
Zesty lemon and calming lavender. Sounds like a posh candle, drinks like a holiday in Provence.

Jack's Kombucha, Cream Soda
Smooth, sweet and creamy vanilla notes. Cream soda kombucha shouldn't work. It absolutely does.

Blighty Booch, Nettle & Rosehip
Earthy wild nettle and gently floral rosehip. A hedgerow in a bottle, minus the stings.

Loving Foods, Hibiscus & Lime
A light, champagne-like jun kombucha with tart hibiscus and fresh lime. Ruby red and showing off about it.

Twisted Kombucha, Strawberry, Hibiscus & Ginger
Sweet strawberry, tart hibiscus and a warming ginger kick. Three big personalities that somehow get on.

Why you'll love it

It's a mystery tour for your taste buds. Pour them blind, make everyone guess the flavours, and enjoy watching your mate who "knows his drinks" get every single one wrong. Then tell him one of them was cream soda. He'll need a minute.

Raw, all six of them

Every bottle in this box is raw and unpasteurised, still alive with live cultures. Weird and wonderful, yes, but it still lives in the fridge like everyone else.

Picked by Kev at the Otley taproom. Six makers, zero rules, no supermarket shelf in sight.

Want the science? Here's what the research actually says about fermented drinks, minus the hype.

Raw means unpasteurised. The bacteria and yeasts from fermentation are still in there, which is why it needs to stay cold.

Like all kombucha, it has a trace of alcohol from fermentation, always under 0.5% ABV, and a little caffeine from the tea it's brewed with.

Fridge it from the moment it lands to the moment you drink it. Warm raw kombucha gets lively, so open it slowly over the sink if it's been out. Once open, keep it in the fridge and finish it within a few days.
