What is Kombucha?

Kombucha is a fermented tea with over 2,000 years of history, first brewed in China before spreading across Asia and eventually around the world. Today, it’s celebrated as a functional, living drink - refreshing, lightly fizzy, and naturally full of beneficial compounds.

At Vesna, we see kombucha not just as a drink, but as a ritual of health and vitality, brewed for your gut and loved by your soul.

How is Kombucha made?

Authentic kombucha begins with just four simple ingredients: tea, water, sugar, and a SCOBY.

  • A SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) drives the fermentation, transforming sweet tea into a complex, tangy, effervescent drink.

  • The yeast in the SCOBY converts sugar into alcohol.

  • Friendly bacteria then turn that alcohol into organic acids, which give kombucha its refreshing bite.

During this process, kombucha develops:

  • Probiotics that nurture gut health

  • Organic acids to aid digestion and detoxification

  • Antioxidants to help reduce oxidative stress

  • Natural vitamins (B-complex and C) that support energy and immunity

The result? A living drink that’s never the same twice - full of character, unapologetically bold, and always brimming with vitality.

The Vesna Brewing Difference

Not all kombucha is equal. Many commercial versions are pasteurised, filtered, or brewed from concentrate, stripping away the very cultures that make kombucha special.

At Vesna, we brew differently:

  • Small batch fermentation for flavour and quality control

  • Safe acidity (pH < 4.2) to ensure microbiological stability

  • Naturally fizzy - no force carbonation

  • Infused with botanicals like chamomile, tulsi, elderflower, hibiscus, and ginger for extra depth and functional benefits

  • Always raw and unfiltered, so the live cultures remain active in every bottle

Our kombucha is a premium, living beverage that delivers both wellness and indulgence in every sip.

What Does Kombucha Taste Like?

Kombucha is not subtle — and that’s exactly why people love it. Its flavour is:

  • Tangy and tart, thanks to natural organic acids

  • Lightly sparkling, from natural fermentation

  • Layered with botanicals, giving each Vesna flavour its own bold character

From the floral lift of Glow (hibiscus, rose, elderflower) to the refreshing calm of Chamomile & Cucumber, Vesna Kombucha is crafted for those who crave flavour with function.

Is Kombucha Right for Everyone?

While kombucha is safe for most people, we recommend moderation - especially for:

  • Children under 5

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women

  • Those with weakened immune systems

As a fermented drink, kombucha contains natural acids, and small amounts of caffeine from tea.
