Savoury Kombucha Box

Mildest to wildest

This one's for the ginger fiends, the spice chasers and the herb nerds. If you think fruit-flavoured drinks are for children and you put hot sauce on your cornflakes, welcome home.

Six raw, unpasteurised kombuchas from six different UK makers, all bold, spiced or herbal. Not sweet. Not subtle. Just six bottles with a bit of edge.

Brilliant for anyone who's gone off sugary pop and wants something grown-up with dinner.

What's in the box

MOMO Kombucha, Turmeric
Smooth, golden, earthy turmeric with sweet pineapple. The gentle warm-up act.

Loving Foods, Raspberry & Tulsi
Tart raspberry with the soft, slightly peppery note of tulsi, aka holy basil. Herbal, but with a smile on its face.

Kompassion Kombucha, Scotch Bonnet Chilli
Fruity, then a slow-building chilli kick. The one that bites back. Save it for last.

Jack's Kombucha, Masala Chai
Cinnamon, cardamom and cosy chai notes meet kombucha tang. A chai latte that's been through some things.

Pop Cultures, Zingy Ginger & Lime
Hot ginger and a sharp burst of lime. Wakes you up faster than a cold shower.

You + I, Ginger
Bold, unapologetic ginger. A warm cuddle and a slap round the face at the same time.

Why you'll love it

Two kinds of ginger, a masala chai, a golden turmeric, a peppery tulsi and a Scotch bonnet that bites back. Line them up from mildest to wildest and see how far you get before you need a sit down. Winner gets bragging rights. Loser gets the chilli.

Raw, all six of them

Every bottle in this box is raw and unpasteurised, still alive with live cultures. So it lives in the fridge, not the back of the cupboard behind the lentils.

Picked by Kev at the Otley taproom. Six makers, plenty of heat, 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.
