<\/i><\/i><\/span>What does kombucha taste like?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Kombucha is a sparkling, fermented beverage. RISE Kombucha flavours are always accessible and balanced. Kombucha has a tart taste and is similar to a sparkling apple cider, but more sour. The taste can vary depending on the teas, fruits and aromas used in the process. We definitely believe that we have a flavour to suit everyone\u2019s taste buds!<\/p>\n

We suggest starting by drinking small quantities to slowly become familiar with the taste. It\u2019s similar to an experience with wine or beer.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How do I get the most out of my kombucha?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>

Over time, the sediment will increase as heavier particles sink to the bottom of the bottle. Gently swirl the bottle to mix before drinking your kombucha.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How much kombucha should I drink, and how often?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
