We hear this question a bit. If you’ve ever thought:“kombucha tastes weird”“kombucha is too sour”or “it’s basically vinegar…” You’re not alone. In fact, taste is one of the biggest barriers stopping people from trying kombucha in the first place. But here’s the truth: Not all kombucha tastes the same. It’s why we’re so passionate about people trying our booch - because ours tastes delicious! Why Some Kombucha Tastes “Weird” Kombucha is a naturally fermented tea, and that “weird” flavour some kombucha has comes from the fermentation process. During fermentation: sugar is broken down organic acids are produced natural carbonation develops One of those acids, acetic acid (commonly known as “vinegar acid”), is what gives kombucha its: tangy sour sometimes vinegary...

We recently saw a Tik Tok video of a Melbourne gastroenterologist, in the supermarket, advising people to avoid commercial kombucha brands because of their “no sugar” messaging. While we appreciated him acknowledging the falsity of these particular sugar free brands, it unfortunately lumped all commercial kombucha producers into the one basket. It’s true, kombucha that claims to be sugar free fundamentally cannot be authentic, live kombucha, and doesn’t do much for your gut health. What’s not true is the suggestion that all commercial kombucha brands brew that way. Two Boys Brew Kombucha is the first Australian kombucha brand to be certified by Kombucha Brewers International as “Raw & Unprocessed”. This means, you can know with certainty that our brew is...
