If you are buying other Kombuchas you are doing it wrong. Delivery time is great. But I'd wait twice as long and still be happy, best product on the UK market by a country mile

Absolutely delicious, very refreshing and lovely variety of flavours. I’d previously tried some other Kombucha from 2 different suppliers which were horrible and put me off, so I was skeptical... See more

Such a light and refreshing drink that doesnt make you feel full, bloated and groggy like other traditional fizzy beverages
My favourite flavour is Mangosaurus by a country mile however the other flavour ranges are unique and complex and all enjoyable for different reasons. They have a slight fizz to them but they aren’t at all heavy or sticky or lead you to feeling full and uncomfortable . I’d say it’s more refreshing than an ice cold glass of water any day and whenever I see it in a shop or in a restaurant I always have to pick some up

Hi Sandra, we're thrilled you enjoyed our kombucha and plan to buy again – that means the world to us! 🎉 But we noticed you gave us 4 stars... was it a slip of the finger? Or is there something we can do to earn that shiny 5th star? We’d love to know how we can make your next experience even better! 🌟🍹
Refreshing kombucha, arrived quickly
My kombucha arrived quickly and well wrapped. It does not need refrigerating, which is handy if you have a small fridge. I chose the 'original' variant as I don't really like flavoured kombucha as much as plain. It is not as vinegary as some kombuchas (and actually, I like the vinegary taste!). I would buy it again but it is a little pricy so it will be an occasional treat. Obviously its dearer because the quality is high and I did feel very refreshed after drinking a tinful.

Top service
I placed my latest order in the morning and Chris delivered it himself in the afternoon. Can't beat that for service. He demonstrably cares about his customers and always delivers a first class service. Can't recommend highly enough.
