We do recommend purchasing commercial Kombucha from the store as that is where most homebrewers get their first sip. There are a range of choices and we typically recommend finding out if there’s a local Kombucheria or Kombucha brewer in your area to try their product. If there isn’t one, here is a list of brands to try.
- GT’s Kombucha – he’s the OG – the guy who started selling it out of his kitchen when he was 16 back in 1995. All hail the King of Kombucha! His line comes in 30+ flavors so there will be one to please even the pickiest member of the family.
- Health-Ade Kombucha – Ginger Lemon packs a flavor punch, Pink Lady Apple is smoother in flavor plus they have some with added adaptogens for extra benefit.
For those who are looking for lower calorie count or guaranteed no alcohol products, here are some brands that are from concentrate with added probiotics or are dealcoholized. Any Kombucha is better than a sugary fruit juice, energy drink or soda!
- Humm – they have a low sugar line that uses allulose plus added probiotics
- Brew Dr – “crafted to remove alcohol” – this is more of a “tea soda” with gentle herbal flavors and less of that signature “Kombucha sweet-sour punch”
