Indulgence Reimagined: Divine Chocolate & Left Field Kombucha Pairings for a Health-Conscious Life That Still Tastes Luxurious
At Left Field Kombucha, we’ve long believed that wellness and indulgence are not mutually exclusive. A life lived with more conscious choices doesn't mean sacrificing joy – it means redefining it. That's why we're thrilled to share one of our favourite discoveries: pairing our small-batch kombucha with Divine Chocolate.
Gone are the days of finishing off the evening with a slab of overly sweet commercial chocolate and a glass of wine or beer that leaves you feeling sluggish. We're not here to preach—just to propose a more refined kind of pleasure. One that doesn’t compromise on taste, and quietly supports your gut, mind, and body. And did you know, the polyphenols in dark chocolate can contribute to lowering cortisol levels, meaning reduced stress. We’ll drink to that!
Let’s talk about flavour, balance, and the joy of pairing exquisite kombucha with Fairtrade, ethically-made chocolate. Trust us—this is an upgrade worth tasting.
Yunnan + Divine Dark Chocolate with Pink Himalayan Salt
Smoky. Savoury. Unexpectedly decadent.
Yunnan black tea, with its malty, earthy depth, brings a smooth smokiness to our kombucha. Paired with Divine’s pink himalayan salt dark chocolate, the result is a savoury-sweet match with just the right hit of minerality and intrigue. Think fireside treats with a grown-up twist.
This pairing is a great swap for those who might normally reach for a dark beer or stout and a salty snack. You’ll get all the complexity—minus the heaviness.
Health perk: Kombucha brings the probiotics, while Himalayan salt contains trace minerals your body loves. No bloating, just balance.
Sencha Green + Divine Dark Chocolate with Ginger and Orange
Zesty. Warming. Lively.
Our Sencha Green kombucha is grassy, fresh, and ever-so-slightly sweet. Pair that with Divine’s ginger and orange dark chocolate and you've got a dance of flavours—bright citrus against gentle tannins, ginger spice cutting through with warmth.
Perfect for anyone who enjoys a citrusy white wine or gin and tonic, but is looking to move towards something more gut-friendly. It’s energising, refreshing, and totally moreish.
Health perk: Green tea and ginger are both loaded with antioxidants, and this combo helps boost metabolism and mood.
Oolong + Divine Dark Chocolate with Raspberries
Fruity. Floral. Playfully sophisticated.
Oolong brings a stone fruit sweetness to our kombucha with a whisper of floral notes. Add the tart-sweet richness of Divine’s raspberry dark chocolate and you’re looking at a perfect pairing that’s surprisingly reminiscent of a dessert wine—but far less cloying and without the next-day fog.
This is the one you’ll bring out to impress friends—or just treat yourself on a Wednesday. Because why not?
Health perk: Fermented tea and antioxidant-rich berries are a match made in gut-loving heaven. Light, luscious, and clean.
Darjeeling + Divine 85% Dark Chocolate
Elegant. Dry. Intensely satisfying.
Darjeeling is known as the "champagne of teas", and its presence in our kombucha is no exception. With its floral, muscatel notes and naturally dry finish, it's the ideal match for the robust depth of Divine’s 85% chocolate.
Together, they’re a masterclass in complexity—bittersweet in the best way. Swap your after-dinner espresso and liqueur for this and feel good in every sense.
Health perk: Minimal sugar, rich in flavonoids, and perfect for anyone looking to reduce alcohol without reducing ritual.
Redefining Indulgence
What we love most about these pairings is that they prove something vital: health-conscious choices don’t have to feel like a compromise. You can honour your body and still experience deep, rich, layered pleasures.
In fact, the experience is often more satisfying—knowing your chocolate supports Fairtrade farmers and your kombucha is crafted with ethically-sourced tea and fermentation magic. No additives, no shortcuts, just beautiful ingredients coming together for a moment worth savouring.
So next time you reach for a treat, think again. Pour a glass of chilled Left Field Kombucha, unwrap a square (or two) of Divine Chocolate, and relish in the knowledge that you can have your joy—and feel good about it, too.
