Zero Drama

It's a proper, grown-up drink for the evening that isn't a beer, and that's a genuinely useful thing to have in the fridge.

Why you'll love it

It's the evening ritual for people who've retired the 7pm glass of wine but kept the glass. Earthy, softly tangy and properly grown-up. Pour it, put your phone in another room, and let somebody else handle the group chat for once.

What's actually in it

Filtered water, cane sugar, tea mix, kombucha cultures, Ashwagandha extract (1%). 5ml of 10:1 extract per bottle, a raw material equivalent of roughly 5,000mg (5 grams) per bottle. Nothing else in there.

One thing worth knowing: if you're on thyroid medication, check with your doctor before making this a regular habit. Ashwagandha can interact with thyroid function, and that's not something to guess your way through.

500ml, not 330ml, on purpose

Same deal as the rest of the range. A small glass, about 150ml, is plenty, so one bottle sees you through about three days. It also works brilliantly poured into a proper glass as your evening drink instead of a bottle of wine, same ritual, none of the 2am regret.

The proper stuff

Unpasteurised kombucha, fermented in small batches with Ashwagandha. Cloudy, live and short dated. The murky bits mean you no harm, that's fermentation, not a fault. Serve ice cold. Live. Unfiltered. Banging.

This is a fermented tea drink, not a medicine. It doesn't diagnose, treat, cure or prevent anything. Enjoy it as part of a normal, varied diet, and drink it because it's genuinely good, not because a label told you to.

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.
