"Blood orange, black tea, zero apologies."
Zest Intentions is the boldest bottle in the Gut Feeling range. Fermented on strong, malty Assam with black orange, that's Moro blood orange, not the orange squash flavour you're picturing, giving it a deep, almost wine-like colour and a citrus edge with real backbone behind it. Small batch, live, unfiltered, and genuinely one of my favourites out of the four.
Packs and boxes count as one item towards the box deal, as they're already discounted.

About this kombucha
If you want kombucha that looks and tastes like it means business, this is the one.
Why you'll love it
It looks like a glass of red, tastes like a Sicilian orange grove got into a scrap with a builder's brew, and it'll hold its own next to a steak. The bottle to pour when everyone else is on the wine and you fancy something that looks every bit as fancy.
What's actually in it
Filtered water, cane sugar, Assam black tea, kombucha cultures, black orange juice. The black orange is Moro blood orange specifically, on an Assam base with a live SCOBY doing the fermenting. Nothing artificial in there.
500ml, not 330ml, on purpose
Same reasoning as the rest of the range. A small glass, about 150ml, is plenty, so one bottle lasts about three days, a routine, not a one-off. It also holds up brilliantly as a wine alternative. That deep colour and citrus depth mean it doesn't feel like you're missing anything poured into a proper glass with food.
The proper stuff
Unpasteurised kombucha, fermented on strong, malty Assam with black orange. Cloudy, live and short dated. The murky bits mean you no harm. 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 and alive
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.
Storage: keep it cold
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.
