What is black tea kombucha and how is it different from other types?
Black tea kombucha is made using robust, full-bodied tea leaves like Yunnan or Darjeeling, delivering deeper flavour and a stronger profile. It has a naturally malty or musky character, depending on the origin. One customer shared: “It has a grown-up feel, not too sweet, with actual tea coming through—unlike others that taste like fruity soda.”
Which of your kombuchas are brewed with black tea?
We offer two bold, unflavoured black tea kombuchas: No.1 Yunnan Black and No.4 Darjeeling. The Yunnan is rich and earthy, while the Darjeeling is lighter and slightly floral. They both celebrate the tea itself without added flavours—just as our fans prefer it.
What does black tea kombucha taste like?
Expect a complex, slightly tannic edge with real tea notes up front. Customers describe the Yunnan variety as “malty and bold—like the porter of kombucha”, while the Darjeeling gets praise for being “light and elegant but still proper kombucha.” These drinks don’t hide behind fruit; they lead with craft.
Is your black tea kombucha sweet?
Not at all in the artificial sense. It’s fermented to dryness, leaving a crisp, balanced profile. One review noted: “It’s not sweet like other kombuchas—it has just enough acidity and the flavour of real tea. I could drink this every day.”

Is there caffeine in black tea kombucha?
Yes, naturally—since it’s made with real black tea. It contains less caffeine than a standard cup of tea, making it a great gentle pick-me-up. As one buyer said: “Just enough caffeine to feel uplifted, but not shaky—it’s my afternoon treat.”
What makes your black tea kombucha different from supermarket brands?
We don’t add fruit or artificial flavourings—just quality tea, sugar, water, and culture. That’s it. One customer nailed it: “This actually tastes like tea. Not some fizzy berry drink pretending to be kombucha.”

Does your kombucha contain any flavourings or additives?
No. We believe great tea doesn’t need dressing up. Our black tea kombuchas are unflavoured by design—no fruit, no extracts, just the real taste of tea. “Finally, a kombucha that lets the tea shine. So refreshing to find one that isn’t messing about with flavour drops,” wrote a happy customer.
Which is better if I’m new to fermented black tea—Yunnan or Darjeeling?
