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

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 muc... See more
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

Exceptional product & exceptional service
Raw Culture is delicious and refreshing. I love the mixed case as it allows me to experience each of the flavours.
Quite apart from the quality of the actual kombucha, customer service is second to none.
I recommend unreservedly.

Lovely slightly sparkling goodness
Along with a few other dietary changes Raw Cultere Kombucha is no doubt contributing to the positive changes i have seen very quickly regards to digestive feeling and general well being.
Its light sparkle makes it suitable for all times of day.
They all taste good too... can't decide which is best; lemondrop maybe 😁

Thaks Simon, I'm really glad you are enjoying our kombucha.
The bestest of beverages
The bestest of beverages. My fridge looks wrong without a shelf full of booch. 10 Goldblums out of a possible 10 Goldblums. All the flavours are delicious but Mangosaurus will forever be the favourite.

Thanks Jess! i cant believe we made it onto the Goldblum scale let alone scoring 100%. I think its time for that life size cutout of big Jeff was added to the office!
Excellent customer service
Brilliant product and fantastic customer service. I emailed to inform of a delivery issue,even though it was not Raw Culture's fault,their response was brilliant. Would definitely recommend.

thanks Cara, Really glad youre enjoying our kombucha. Don't forget to tell all your friends and family about us :-D
Great stuff! Just watch how you buy it
First came across and tried Raw Cuture at an exhibition in Aberdeen. Lovely Kobucha - natural flavours and not too sweet. Have struggled to find it in any local shops so have ordered it on-line a couple of times since and it's rapidly delivered (the last time by Parcelforce).
One little thing to be aware of (but not enough to drop the score). I did think about taking out a 24-can subscription after my first on-line purchase to take advantage of a 10% discount but that takes me below the free delivery threshold and the delivery charge quoted was more than the discount. So I'm just buying it at standard price when I need it now

Hello Andrew,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for Raw Culture Kombucha. I appreciate your kind words and I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it.
I also want to thank you for bringing to my attention the issue with the subscription and shipping. As I run Raw Culture by myself, sometimes things like this can slip past me. I will definitely update the website to ensure that subscriptions are not affected by shipping.
Your feedback is very valuable to me and it helps me to identify areas where I can make improvements. Once again, thank you for your review and for your support of Raw Culture Kombucha.
Best regards,
Chris
