Restaurant & Cafe gathers together the best of New Zealand kombucha.
CHEERS TO A HEALTHY GUT
Brewing kombucha commercially in Hawke’s Bay since 2009, Kombucha King offers an “on-the-go” 375ml PET range, a 500ml re-usable glass swing-top range and is excited to release a new 330ml glass range this winter. Organic certification ensures their entire process is sustainable and socially conscious. Small batches are brewed by hand using an ancient and unique fermentation recipe. The living culture develops the carbonation naturally, creating an unpasteurised, alive, low-sugar ‘food’. Five flavours are available, each enhanced by extensive study and careful ingredient choices encompassing juices, teas and herbs, chosen for their individual and synergistic properties. They would love to hear from you. Cheers to a healthy gut! For more info visit: www.kombuchaking.co.nz.
BREWED THE TRADITIONAL WAY
Good Buzz Kombucha was born out of a passion for making it at home using a culture passed down through the family starting with Alex’s grandmother from Kaikohe in 1974. It is brewed the traditional way and then bottled – never diluted and with nothing added like sweeteners or juice. Not all kombucha is created equal and they never take shortcuts simply for the sake of lowering sugar, reducing costs or extending shelf life. It is certified organic and Fairtrade, raw and unpasteurised, teeming with all the naturally occurring beneficial bacteria. The range consists of seven flavours in 328ml bottles including; Feijoa (the number one seller), Lemon Ginger, Raspberry Lemon, Apple Cinnamon, Origins, Jasmine, and Green Tea. Larger 888ml bottles, 4-packs and kegs are also available. Made with Otakiri Spring water in Tauranga, New Zealand. For more information email hello@goodbuzz.nz
