Buddy Kombucha is handmade in small batches in our little fermentary in Newburgh, Fife. We ferment one barrel at a time. It takes a full 10 days. We then infuse with whole flowers, fruit or herbs – no juices, pureés or concentrates allowed here.
Our kombucha is always organic, raw and unfiltered. It has billions of living beneficial microbes and healthy organic acids, much more than any supermarket booch. These goodies help our gut regulate our immune system and the intact enzymes help us get more nutrients from the fibre in our food. Unlike the bigger brands we don’t filter which means all the B vitamins stay in the booch.
Our kombucha is full flavour and comes with a tang. Check out our five varieties…
Lemon & Ginger
The classic kombucha made with whole organic lemons from single farms in Spain and Italy with infused ginger. SHOP
Hibiscus & Lime
Originally a Wildcard but so popular it is now our best seller. The fruity, tart hibiscus infused flowers mellow beautifully with sweetness of our organic limes. SHOP
Half Nelson
Half Nelson is our hopped kombucha. It’s made with Nelson Sauvign hops. Now we’re talking – tastes a bit like a craft beer or light IPA but without the alcohol. SHOP
Wildcard
Sensational but seasonal. From conifer buds to aronia berries to bitter oranges – a taste on the wildside. The ingredients are either foraged, from our Community Orchard or from citrus farmers using Crowdfarming. You never know what it’s going to be but at the farmer’s markets these always sell-out first. SHOP
Mucho Matcha
Our latest addition. It’s a Japanese green tea ferment using Bancha and Sencha to give a lovely mellow kombucha. Then we whisk in a fair old whack of supreme grade genuine Japanese Matcha. This adds umami and all those healthy polyphenols. SHOP
