Provenance & Sourcing
Production Philosophy
Vitamin Kombucha is a fermented tea from BATU Kombucha, built on a tea ferment that is extended a second time with freshly pressed fruit juice rather than finished with added sweetening. BATU describes the drink as made from fermented tea and 100% natural fruit juice, and as non-alcoholic.[1],[2],[3]
