How are Remedy drinks sweetened?

We add a touch of organic stevia and organic erythritol (fermented glucose) at the end of the natural fermentation process. This adds back a touch of sweetness and balances out the flavours after we naturally brew out all of the sugar. Both the stevia and erythritol we use are 100% natural and certified organic. Stevia is a plant that belongs to the chrysanthemum family, which grows in Paraguay and Brazil. It contains no fructose yet is 300 times sweeter than sugar. Erythritol aka fermented glucose is a naturally occurring nectar commonly found in pears, watermelons, grapes and other fermented products like wine, cheese and soy sauce. Both stevia and erythritol have been used as natural sweeteners in many parts of the world for hundreds of years.

What are the benefits of kombucha?

When we talk about the potential benefits of Remedy Kombucha regarding gut health, we reference two specific components: live cultures and organic acids, also known as short-chain fatty acids (SFCAs). Our wild, live culture of yeast and bacteria are the workhorse of our Remedy Kombucha small-batch brews. There are several stages to our natural fermentation process, conducted by many different organisms. Yeast of the Saccharomyces genus and bacteria from Acetobacter and Gluconobacter species are just some of the major contributors. During the fermentation, our bacteria produce short-chainn fatty acids (SCFAs). Live cultures can support gut health by: - Increasing the diversity of your gut flora, aka the good bugs that live in your g,ut to get things working as they should - Preventing the growth of bag bugs that make you sick - Supplying billions of microorganisms that are full of vitamins, minerals and fibre, which the healthy bacteria in your gut use as a food source to produce important metabolites for good health

How is remedy kombucha made?

The traditional method of making kombucha – which we follow at Remedy – involves a natural fermentation of sweet tea with a live culture. The live culture is known as a SCOBY, which stands for Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast.

Does Kombucha have antioxidants?

Everyone knows that a cup of green tea is good for you, right? (Just ask your gran) Well, that’s because it’s packed with tea antioxidants, aka polyphenols, which can help your body fight illness. In kombucha making, the first and very important step at Remedy is to brew a VERY big pot of tea. That’s where these mighty tea polyphenols come in! Not all kombucha brews will have the same amount of polyphenols. Some tea blends have less or more polyphenols depending on quality, and this can even be impacted by what season the tea was harvested. Polyphenols also vary on the tea type (i.e green, black, oolong, jasmine or hibiscus). We use a mixture of certified organic green tea for its high polyphenol properties and certified organic black tea for its rich superior taste. Most importantly, we test every batch of raw tea at Remedy to ensure it meets our high standards of the goods when it comes to polyphenols. We then test each batch of kombucha at the end of fermentation to make sure it meets our top-notch standards for polyphenol goodness. If you want to check if your kombucha is chock-full of tea polyphenols, pour your brew into a glass. Tea has a brownish background color, so watch out if you find a kombucha that’s crystal clear.

How does remedy kombucha have no sugar?

Remedy Kombucha has no sugar. During our 30-day long-aged brewing process, all of the sugar is converted into healthy organic acids (and we test each batch to make sure of it.)

What are organic acids?

When brewing Remedy, it’s not just magic that leads to a delicious drink with no sugar, but fermentation science! You see, the live culture is what consumes all the sugar, but in the process, it doesn’t just disappear, it gets converted into healthy organic acids, also known as short-chain fatty acids, the very same kind produced by our own gut bacteria to aid important body processes. Without getting too technical or scientific, organic acids can help to: Regulate appetite Prevent the overgrowth of bad pathogenic bacteria Provide an energy source for the good bacteria in your gut Stabilize blood sugar levels Regulate cholesterol

Is Remedy Kombucha pasteurised (is it raw)?

No way. We don’t pasteurise. Never have. Never will. While some foods and drinks labelled as live cultured or probiotic get that way thanks to dosed or added ingredients (after the cultures have died), we pride ourselves on the fact that our live, active cultures are from our brewing process! Kombucha has been around for thousands of years – we keep our recipe and fermentation process traditional, and our raw kombucha unpasteurised, so you get that authentic and quality live culture goodness in ya.

How often should I drink Kombucha?

While we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all prescription for how much kombucha you should drink, we do recommend incorporating Remedy kombucha into your daily diet to truly experience the benefits. Most of the team at Remedy has a can with each meal as it’s a super easy way to including something fermented and raw into your daily diet.

Does Remedy Kombucha have caffeine?

Each serving of Remedy Kombucha has less than 10mg of caffeine per 100ml because it’s brewed with tea, which is very low. To put it in perspective, coffee can contain anywhere between 60-110mg of caffeine (or even more!) depending on how strongly it is brewed.

What are the floaties in my kombucha?

Strands or small pieces of our live kombucha SCOBY or ‘mother’ are signs of a natural, healthy and happy kombucha culture that is raw, unpasteurised and full of goodness. They are perfectly normal and safe and a sign you are drinking the real deal.
