Why choose Twisted?

We believe kombucha should be made properly - with time, care and real fermentation.

We promise

Naturally flavoured

We always use real fruit, botanicals and herbs - for an unmatched depth of flavour that tastes real.

Raw and alive

We make our kombucha the way you would at home - never pasteurised or filtered.

Small batch

Every batch is brewed, and hand packed at our North London microbrewery.

We don't take shortcuts - all our kombucha is brewed the traditional way—slow, raw, and alive. Just like you would at home… if you had the time.

Real in every bottle

Taking the long way means:

  • A naturally balanced sweet + tart profile
  • Live, active cultures intact
  • Greater depth and complexity of flavour
  • A drink that feels satisfying, not artificially sweetened 

We don't make kombucha because it's easy - we make it the right way.

Frequently asked questions

Does kombucha contain alcohol?


Yes – like all traditionally fermented kombucha, ours contains a very small, naturally occurring amount of alcohol produced during fermentation. Every batch is tested to ensure it contains less than 0.5% ABV, making it legally classified as a non-alcoholic drink in the UK.

Does kombucha contain caffeine?

Yes. Because we brew with real Japanese sencha green tea and Chinese black tea, a small amount of natural caffeine remains after fermentation.

On average, a 330ml bottle contains around 20–30mg of caffeine, considerably less than a typical cup of coffee.

How much sugar does it contain?

Our kombucha contains around 3–3.5g of sugar per 100ml.

We begin with organic cane sugar to feed the fermentation, but much of it is naturally consumed by the live culture during brewing, leaving a drink that is naturally low in sugar.

Does it need to be refrigerated?

Yes.

Because our kombucha is raw and unpasteurised, it should be kept refrigerated to maintain its freshness and quality.

If left unrefrigerated for extended periods, the live fermentation may continue, which can affect flavour and carbonation.

What is a SCOBY?

SCOBY stands for Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast.

It's the live culture responsible for transforming sweetened tea into kombucha through traditional fermentation.

Rather than adding probiotic powders or artificial ingredients, we brew our kombucha using a living SCOBY, just as kombucha has been made for generations.

Where does the vitamin B12 come from?

Our kombucha contains naturally occurring vitamin B12, produced during the traditional fermentation process by certain microorganisms within the SCOBY.

We do not add vitamin B12 to our kombucha—it is a natural by-product of fermentation. As with all naturally fermented foods, the amount may vary slightly from batch to batch.
