All fermented foods and beverages contain small amounts of alcohol, a natural by-product of fermentation. KULTCHA KOMBUCHA is a non-alcoholic beverage with an alcohol content below 0.5% (virtually negligible). Most importantly, kombucha must be kept refrigerated. If left unrefrigerated for some time, fermentation may continue. Although it may still taste good and be drinkable, the alcohol content could increase. So please keep your KULTCHA KOMBUCHA refrigerated and consume it promptly after opening.

All foods and beverages should be consumed in moderation, and the appropriate amount depends on the individual. If you have never tried kombucha before, we suggest starting with one bottle a day. As you grow to enjoy our kombucha, you can begin drinking a few more bottles.
KULTCHA recommends drinking no more than four 330 ml bottles per day. Two bottles a day should be suitable for most people.
Please note: As a beverage containing live beneficial microorganisms and organic acids, kombucha is known for its digestive benefits. If your digestive system tends to be sluggish, your first bottle might give you a little internal “spring cleaning,” clearing out the unwanted stuff in your digestive system — you know what we mean... Congratulations!

Because kombucha contains natural organic acids produced during fermentation, it can have a very long shelf life when stored properly. KULTCHA kombucha must be kept refrigerated before opening and should be consumed within 2–3 hours after opening.
Kombucha can still spoil if it is not consumed promptly after opening. For example, if you drink kombucha with a meal but leave some unfinished for several hours, bacteria may enter the drink when your mouth comes into contact with it after eating. This could gradually cause the kombucha to spoil.

KULTCHA kombucha has a shelf life of approximately eight months, provided it remains unopened and refrigerated. Please refer to the expiration date on the bottle.

KULTCHA kombucha is a natural, unpasteurized fermented beverage. The sediment that forms is natural and beneficial to health, so there is no need to worry. You may notice two different kinds of sediment in the bottle, including opaque, gelatinous material or brown floating particles. This is what we call the “SCOBY” (a cellulose structure produced by live beneficial bacteria and yeasts during fermentation). You can drink it with confidence — it is a sign that your kombucha is very “healthy”!

ou know how makers of yogurt, miso and kimchi have been telling us for years that their products contain “happy bacteria,” right?
The benefits of fermented foods are widely recognized and documented in research.
What makes kombucha unique is that it is cool, refreshing, delicious and not overly sweet — a quality drink you can enjoy at any time of day.
Thanks to its natural organic acids, kombucha has an exceptionally long shelf life (as long as it stays refrigerated). With proper storage, it is very unlikely to turn sour and spoil. In short, kombucha is not only safe but also very good for you.

If kombucha is left unrefrigerated for a long time, fermentation will continue. Because fermentation keeps producing carbonation, this can greatly increase the risk of the bottle bursting.
WARNING! KULTCHA kombucha must be kept refrigerated before opening!

We do not add extra sugar to our kombucha. However, during fermentation, sugar must be added to the tea to support the growth of the SCOBY (beneficial bacteria and yeasts). By the time it is bottled, the sugar content is only 2.5%–4%, depending on the fruit used in each flavour.
Please refer to the label on your KULTCHA kombucha bottle for more information.
