Something else I picked up while grocery shopping as a little treat for myself to drink on the walk home. Basically it was just a bottled matcha latte but boosted with a few different functional ingredient, and made using oat milk. I actually love the taste of oat milk and matcha together and I thought this worked well. It had a nice hint of vanilla and the oat didn’t over power, though the matcha could have been stronger. Only real con IMO was that it left a bit of a pasty kind of feeling on the palate after each sip from the oats…

If I’m being honest, it was the colour of this kombucha that attracted me to it. It’s a really lovely shade of pink – saturated but not too heavy/dark. Just sort of screamed “refreshing” to me – and since this is a grapefruit flavoured kombucha I was reallllyyyyy hoping for/expecting a pink grapefruit flavour. I mean, it just made sense! The kombucha was actually very good, but it wasn’t quite the pink grapefruit I had in mind. I think it would need to be a little sweeter. Thankfully, not bitter/pithy though; instead more a fresh squeezed grapefruit juice kind of flavour but mixed with lemon juice as well. Refreshing, zesty, tart, sour.

I think this is the best kombucha I’ve tried from this company so far out of the, I believe, three I’ve had. It’s basically like a Fresca, but with a touch of vinegar-y taste and a little bit of heat in the back of the throat from the Cayenne. Turns out that spicy Fresca is really tasty, though!

Tasted like bad lemonade and waxy candied pineapple, but damn if it wasn’t pretty.

Though as you can see in the photo, my bottle was more of a pink hue than a purple/violet one…

I feel like the beet in this must juice be adding colour/meant to look good on the label!? The kombucha didn’t taste like beet at all – but it did have a really nice almost “rose water” taste to it which was lovely, and that I don’t think I’ve experienced in a kombucha before. What is it this year with floral kombucha landing really well for me!?

Wasn’t sure what to expect from this one, but it was really good while also being REALLY intensely lime flavoured. I was initially hit with a lot of comparisons for the lime flavour so here are some of the ones that just immediately came to my mind: freshly squeezed lime juice, Sprite but more acidic, Sweet Lime from DAVIDsTEA, and lime skittles. Just a very vibrant, acidic, sour, tangy, sweet lime overall! Great though – and really lovely amount of fizz. Couple the good fermentation with the intensity of the flavour, and this is a kombucha that I would actually 100% purchase again.
