GO! Kombucha faithfully follows the authentic, handmade recipe enjoyed by the Emperors of the Ancient Chinese Qin Dynasty of 221B.C.

"GO!" is an abbreviation of Gaia's Organic. The word 'Gaia' stems from the Earth Goddess of Greek mythology, and is born of the theory that our planet is not a clump of rock and water floating in space but a self-regulating body capable of adjusting to small and big changes and catastrophes - arising from the collective consciousness and will of its 7 billion human inhabitants - in an intelligent and holistic manner. Likewise GO! Kombucha, with its hundreds of millions of live bacteria in every bottle, works to benefit the body's functions by detoxifying and raising energy levels, thereby ensuring balance, vitality and well being.

At an old family vineyard in the tranquil and picturesque Hastings countryside, we start by filtering the water to ensure utmost purity. To this we add the finest Chinese organic teas (green sencha, a light, crisp tea for a full-bodied kombucha taste experience, and earthy red pu-erh, known as "the weight-loss tea" as it stimulates the metabolism and suppresses appetite, thereby providing an additional benefit alongside detoxification), raw cane sugar and organic Kombucha cultures comprising live beneficial bacteria and split fission (i.e. spore-free) yeast. As the ingredients infuse and ferment, much of the sugar is digested and broken down by the organic Kombucha cultures and converted into an army of probiotic acids - specifically strains of lactobacillus (also found in yogurt) and bifidobacterium - as well as digestive enzymes and a wealth of nutritious B vitamins and minerals. These "good" bacteria dissolve excess levels of bad bacteria and help the intestine to repopulate, thereby aiding the body's defences.

Because much of the sugar in Kombucha tea is converted into probiotic acids, a glass of GO! Kombucha has less sugar and calories than most soft drinks on the market today that have not been artificially sweetened, and just half the sugar of apple juice.

Unlike mass-produced Kombucha teas and drinks, GO! Kombucha is not pasteurised or heat-treated so none of the live bacteria and vitamins are lost, while its crisp, mildly effervescent quality owes to the natural production of organic acids, not artificial carbonation. not artificial carbonation. Because we allow the delicious flavours of our teas to stand out we do not adulterate with juices or essences just prior to bottling. Therefore GO! Kombucha remains stable in the bottle and does not require refrigeration to inhibit ongoing fermentation caused by the added sugars, which can destabalise the tea's nutritional make-up.

GO! Kombucha offers a deliciously unique and complex taste experience. Discover for yourself the distinctive bite that makes a truly authentic Kombucha so different and satisfying.

GO! Kombucha does not require refrigeration, although ideally serve chilled for any occasion. We recommend just one small glass a day for the first 6 days while your body adjusts to the influx of good bacteria, which may cause mild discomfort at first and is perfectly normal. Once opened, keep refrigerated and consume within 3 weeks. Dilute with water or fruit juice for a mellower taste, or (our favourite) add grated root ginger. Strands of culture may be noticeable in the bottle as the Kombucha interacts with the air once the bottle is opened. The visible strands of culture and yeast are edible and a sign of high potency. Separate through a strainer if preferred.

GO! Kombucha is extremely versatile. It can be drunk in the morning 20 minutes before breakfast to kickstart the day, before or after gym to boost energy levels or with the evening meal instead of a glass of wine (served in wine glasses, naturally!). GO! Kombucha’s invigorating flavour also makes it a deliciously satisfying alcohol-replacement drink, and ideal for use in a wide range of recipes – as a stock for stews and casseroles and in sorbets and fruit salads.
