What Is Kombucha Really?
Our process of making kombucha begins with a humble mix of tea (usually black or green) and sugar. But the transformation happens when it’s introduced to a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). This jelly-like culture ferments the tea over time, resulting in a lightly tart, subtly sweet, naturally effervescent drink that’s alive with plenty of personality.
It’s not soda. It’s not juice. It's a living, breathing brew full of organic acids, gut-loving probiotics, a gentle caffeine kick, and just a touch of natural sweetness.
Depending on how it’s brewed and flavored, kombucha can be fruity, spicy, herbal, or tangy, with layers of complexity that rival a fine wine (minus the relatively high alcohol content). With our creative infusions of fruits, such as pomegranate, there's truly something that every palate will find soothing.
Why Kombucha? Why Now?
Maybe it’s that fizzy drink your health-conscious friend keeps talking about. Maybe you tried it once and couldn’t quite decide if it was love at first sip or something else entirely. Maybe, you’ve seen the rows of stylish bottles lining store shelves and wondered: what’s the hype all about?
Whatever your experience, one thing is undeniable: kombucha is having its moment. With its vibrant flavor profiles, natural fizz, and digestive benefits, kombucha is no longer a fringe beverage — it is becoming a mainstream choice for everyone who wants to pamper their gut health. So move over, wine and beer, as the natural low-sugar option takes the limelight in the Folks fridge in Lisbon.
Introducing: The Folks Kombucha
Bold. Fruity. Beautifully Unexpected. Our kombucha is crafted in two stages of fermentation: the first stage creates a lively, probiotic-rich drink, while the second stage refines its flavor and natural fizz. It opens with the vibrant brightness of pomegranate, juicy, refreshing, and unmistakably distinct. Medium acidity balances its natural sweetness, giving it a lively yet grounding character. The body is smooth and rounded, with flavors that unfold sip by sip.
The carbonation is light and natural, offering more of a crisp lift than a sharp fizz. Complex yet easy to enjoy, it’s perfect for slow afternoons, thoughtful moments, or whenever you’re craving something fruit-forward with an elegant twist.
- Fizz Factor: 10/10 – Bright and bubbly with natural bubbles
- Sweetness: 6–8/10 – Lightly sweet, always balanced
- Calories: Around 50–80 per 250 ml bottle
