Kombucha Taste Test: Part 1

We’re at it again, and this time, with a Kombucha taste test, you have to watch and listen to! If for nothing but our facial expressions and reactions. Seriously, this is one of the funnier taste tests we’ve done and it felt like torture sometimes. Ultimately, you will hear about three kombucha drinks we liked and three we absolutely hated.

Kombucha, the probiotic-rich fermented drink, has become a health sensation and a staple in many gut-loving vegan households. In our new episode, we embarked on a taste test journey that Meg has avoided since we started the podcast and David has craved!

In this kombucha taste test, we feature six different varieties of kombucha, all with the base flavor of strawberry. We aimed to explore kombucha by trying various brands and uncover which ones tasted the best to us and which left a less-than-pleasant impression. If we like it, you figure you will as well.

David was excited to try all the options and Meg was scared. For good reason. But we went about each sampling of strawberry-infused kombucha with an open mind. The six varieties showcased the creativity of kombucha brewers from around the country, featuring unique blends of fruits, herbs and flvaors.

However, the verdict was split right down the middle. Three of the kombuchas proved to be delightful, offering a perfect balance, while the other trio left us cringing. You’ll have to listen and watch this episode to see which brands won our kombucha taste test and which ones absolutely failed.

Here are the six kombucha options we tried:

While taste is subjective, we hope that sharing our opinions might help you find a kombucha that fits your taste buds. This was a serious reminder that not all kombuchas are created equal. Whether you’re a seasoned kombucha enthusiast or a curious vegan looking to incorporate this fermented beverage into your diet, this kombucha taste test is a valuable guide to finding the strawberry-infused kombucha that suits your palate.
