Most kombucha brewers make their raw organic kombucha with purified water, organic evaporated cane juice, organic green tea, organic black tea and live Kombucha culture. Then they add in organic juices, fruits, spices and more. Such as the Apple Sass from Humm, it is a combination of organic apple juice, organic ginger juice, organic cinnamon and organic cayenne.
Other than the organic, raw ingredients and a natural brewing process – why else should you give kombucha a chance?
