Frequently asked questions

The most common questions from future kombucha lovers

Does kombucha contain alcohol?


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

Does kombucha contain caffeine?

Yes, but usually in small amounts. Kombucha is made with tea, which naturally contains caffeine. During fermentation, some of it may be reduced, but not all of it disappears. The final amount depends on the amount and type of tea used and the fermentation process.

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

But kombucha contains sugar. Is it still good for you?

Absolutely. The sugar isn’t there to sweeten the drink, but to feed the bacteria and yeast (the SCOBY) during fermentation. 

Without sugar the fermentation wouldn’t happen. During the process, the culture consumes the sugar and transforms it into organic acids and other fermentation by-products. The result is a naturally fermented drink with its characteristic tangy taste and fizz, and less sugar than it started with.

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.

Why does kombucha taste like vinegar?

Some kombuchas taste more vinegary than others because of differences in fermentation. Acetic acid bacteria convert alcohol produced by yeast into acetic acid, giving kombucha its characteristic tangy, sour taste. These are natural characteristics of kombucha fermentation.

Acetic acid has also been shown in research to help manage blood glucose spikes after meals. So there’s more to it than just flavour!

Where does the vitamin B12 come from?

Our kombucha contains naturally occurring vitamin B12, produced by certain microorganisms during fermentation. 

We don’t add any extra B12 — it’s all part of the natural process. And yes, our kombucha has been tested, with one bottle providing almost a third of your recommended daily intake. 

Pretty cool what fermentation can do!
