Production Philosophy

Lemon & Mint is one of the seven flavours Zestea lists in its core kombucha lineup, alongside Original, Roselle, Lemongrass, Ginger Turmeric, Raw Oolong and Raw Tea Hop. Its character is built on fermentation: Zestea describes its kombucha as a fermented tea made by combining a SCOBY — a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast — with sweetened tea, the acetic acid bacteria and yeast reacting with the sweet tea to yield a sour, lightly effervescent drink.[1],[2]

Structure. The evidence supports one axis of the structural grid.[3]

  • Acidity: crisp and refreshing

Pairings

Zestea directs the bottle at fried foods, where its acidity is intended to balance richness: Taiwanese fried chicken, crispy chicken wings and fries.[3]
