I'm not like other soft drinks

• The 3 best kombuchas you’ve tried

Kombucha is a drink that insists it’s not like other soft drinks.

It’s got FUNK. And by funk we mean a slightly odd tang to it and the unusual sensation of being wet and dry in your mouth at the same time.

It’s spent the last decade rebranding itself from an ancient fermented tonic to yoga-girl status symbol. Isn’t it the same as picking up a can of Appletiser? Wrong! It’s a naturally carbonated journey to becoming the kind of person who journals.

Kombucha talks about being the right kind of bacteria for your gut microbiome (we’ll pretend to know what that really means). It’s not fizzy in an engineered way, it’s organic. It tastes like vinegar had a threesome with a soda stream and a Jazz apple.

Sometimes it even comes in a glass bottle with a serif font.

The marmite of soft drinks. A trial for your taste buds. Drinking kombucha makes you feel like you’re doing something good for yourself even if you’re drinking it in your pyjamas on a Thursday afternoon. Feeling healthy without having to try too hard. A way to say, “I care about my body.” (Dinner tonight is going to be crisps and a Babybel.)

But we’re not just drinking kombucha because we love that sweet vinegary tang.

Here’s when you said you’re drinking kombucha

💪After a workout

🥐For breakfast

☀️On a sunny day

We browsed through a bunch of your reviews of kombucha and looked at when you said you were drinking it.

Breakfast is rogue but valid. One girl said she wanted to go to a bottomless brunch with kombucha instead of cocktails. Bottomless probiotics? Can your bowels handle this? Who knows!

Here’s your 3 favourite kombuchas (Tried by 250+ humans)
