Why does my kombucha need to be kept in the fridge?

Kombucha is a fermented drink. It needs to be kept in the fridge otherwise it will continue to ferment, which may affect the trace alcohol and carbonation levels.

Kombucha contains trace levels of alcohol (less than 0.5%) which are created during the fermentation process.

What are the ingredients?

HOLOS Kombucha contains filtered water, tea, raw cane sugar and organic flavourings.

How is it made?

Our kombucha is made by adding a Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast (otherwise known as a SCOBY) to a signature blend of premium loose leaf teas.

We then add organic raw cane sugar and ferment for 7-14 days until it's tasting and testing perfectly.

The sugar is transformed during a fermentation process which develops the deep, floral taste of HOLOS. We then add all organic ingredients to create our unique flavours.
