KOMBUCHA
Kombucha made with real fruit and live cultures — just fizz that hits different.
Kombucha 101
Kombucha is a sparkling fermented tea that’s been around for centuries, loved for its tangy taste and natural fizz. At Hip Pop, we make ours with real tea, fruit, and live cultures to make a drink that’s full of flavour, naturally lower in sugar, and a refreshing pick-me-up any time of day.
FAQ's
We use a small amount of cane sugar to feed the gorgeous kombucha cultures. Any residual sugar is broken down during fermentation so it’s easier for the body to process. Per 100ml, our kombucha varies from 2.6g to 2.8g. To put things into perspective it’s less than natural carrot juice. Natural Orange juice is around 8g and bottled smoothies can be as high as 18g. We never use ultra-processed sweeteners such as stevia or erythritol found in zero-sugar kombucha.
Yes, our Kombucha is 100% gluten-free. It is made of 4 premium ingredients: loose-leaf green & black tea, cane sugar, our own in-house kombucha culture and subtly flavoured with fruits and herbs.
Yes, like all fermented drinks and food, our kombucha contains trace alcohol. But it’s so tiny that it’s classed as non-alcoholic (below 0.5%).
Yes, caffeine is metabolised during fermentation so it contains 1/3 caffeine of an equivalent cup of tea.
Kombucha is slightly sour, a little bit tart and can bit a little bit sweet. It really depends on two things: Who is brewing the kombucha, and what flavours they are adding to it, but these flavours can typically be floral, herbal, or fruity notes.
