The fermentation craze has brought new energy to the carbonated beverage shelf. We take a look at what’s inside two of the latest offerings.
Kombucha is a slowly fermented probiotic tea that’s been activated with the addition of a culture known as SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast).
When fermentation is complete, manufacturers can then flavour the drink with natural fruits, roots, and spices.
As a functional beverage, kombucha claims to improve digestion and gut health, increase energy and nutrient absorption, provide immune-system support, reduce inflammation, and aid in muscle recovery.

Melbourne-based Cool Cool Beverages manufactures ready-to-drink Liberty Kombucha.
This range of sparkling fermented teas aims to provide energy, healing, and functional support and has less than 1.5g of sugar per bottle.
