Product Information
Kombuchas
Kombucha is a tea drink that’s fermented naturally using a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast, known as SCOBY. The fermentation process of brewing kombucha creates an incredibly rich source of natural probiotics that are literally swimming with antioxidants. It also produces high levels of extremely beneficial acids, amino acids and enzymes that are all great for the gut. Kombucha is an amazingly natural mood-lifter and body-booster!

Yes, everyone can enjoy our Kombucha. While it tastes really good and is easy to drink, we do encourage drinking Kombucha in moderation. Each bottle of curate’s Kombucha contains 270ml. This amount is good for daily consumption and over a period of time it does help your body stay well balanced.
Our curators believe that with everything, the principle of balance applies. We therefore recommend that you do not drink more than 500ml per day. For new drinkers and children, start slow with a recommended 50-100ml per sitting before slowly increasing your intake – allowing the body to detox.

Due to the fermentation process all kombuchas contain tiny trace amounts of alcohol and caffeine. For this reason, it may be best to avoid drinking kombucha while pregnant and breastfeeding.
The answer is yes, a small number of people do experience some mild side effects. In actual fact, the side effects are caused by the toxins within the body that the kombucha is helping to get rid of. This is sometimes known as the “Healing Crisis”. The potential for this to happen is the reason why we advise people who are new to kombucha to only drink a few ounces a day at first (with plenty of water). Allow your body time to work with the healing properties of kombucha, so that you can notice the effects its having on you.
Our kombucha can be enjoyed at any time of the day. It really is a natural mood lifter, so open a bottle whenever you’re feeling a little low! To enjoy kombucha’s natural health benefits, such as to reduce bloating or to aid in detoxing, start your day with a bottle of Curate’s kombucha on an empty stomach. If your focus is to aid digestion or if you have gastric issues, then drink a bottle after a meal. kombucha is also an awesome alternative to unhealthy snacking and can be used to aid weight loss, so if you’re hankering for something unhealthy, reach for a bottle instead and satiate those cravings!
It is said that the hallmark of a good kombucha isn’t the fizz. At Curate we pride ourselves in providing a deliciously palatable experience without the need to have too much fizz. We believe we’ve found the perfect balance of fizz to flavour. If you’re a kombucha drinker who does love the fizz, then here’s a tip for you; to increase the fizziness of your kombucha, simply leave it out at room temperature for 1-2 days max before returning it to the refrigerator. This allows the carbonation process to continue and create more of those refreshing bubbles in your bottle. Please do NOT add soda water - this is a crime against kombucha!
Technically, our kombuchas do not expire. Don’t be put off by any floaties or strands in the bottle – these sediments are healthy cultures, and they are totally normal. You can gently shake the bottle or use a strainer to sift them out before drinking it, if you wish.
curate’s kombuchas are a non-pasteurised drink and the fermentation process continues even after bottling, and is perfectly normal. Though they do not expire, the taste of the kombucha will change over time to become sharper to the taste.
We recommend that you keep our kombuchas refrigerated from the time you receive it. Our kombuchas have a shelf life of 4 weeks. Every bottle is brewed in small batches and is bottled by hand. Our Curators have enjoyed the testing and tasting experience in order to recommend that you consume your bottles within 1.5-2 weeks.
Once opened, consume within 3 days for the freshest taste. Never ever freeze kombuchas! And beware of kombucha explosions when opened after the bottles are left for an extended period of time at room temperature - that’s too much fizz for you!
