When did feeling exhausted become normal? Somewhere along the way, it became accepted that feeling tired just meant “more”. More caffeine.More sugar.More intensity. Which often leads to…Another energy drink. The trouble with traditional energy drinks Energy drinks are everywhere: supermarkets, service stations, gyms, school bags, workplaces. And they’re not just being consumed by adults. Australian research has found that more than half of secondary school students surveyed had consumed an energy drink, with the average age of first use just over 10 years old.* Energy drinks are often marketed around performance, study, sport and social identity. All things that naturally appeal to young people. While Two Boys Brew Energy Tea is not designed or marketed as a product for teens,...
Australia has a kombucha problem. Not because consumers stopped believing in fermentation. Not because functional beverages are declining. But because major retailers allowed fundamentally inauthentic products to define the category. Over time, they shaped consumer expectations around what kombucha is, how it tastes, how it’s processed and how it should be priced... and now the category is dealing with the consequences. As consumers become more educated, the category is paying the price. For years, kombucha in Australia has drifted further and further away from what it traditionally was.

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...
As the weather cools down, many people start rethinking what they drink. Whether it’s cutting back on alcohol, reducing sugar, or simply looking for something that feels better the next day, there’s a clear shift toward more mindful choices. Making the choice to drink differently is great, but the question is - “What do you actually drink instead?” Why People Are Rethinking What They Drink There’s a growing awareness around how everyday drinks affect how we feel.
