Have you been told your entire life that sugar is bad?
Don’t get excited yet...We’re not going to tell you it’s ok to binge donuts or cupcakes.... Wait! Don’t leave...
Real sugar isn’t good or bad. It’s a type of fuel.
+ Tea transforms into Kombucha because of sugar.
+ The airy bubbles that produce the delicate
burn we love are generated by sugar.
+ The SCOBY is born and thrives because of sugar.
Sugar is foundational. It has existed in real food forever. It has been harnessed by ancients in a spectacular and life-giving way. We are profoundly grateful for that gift.
Our organic sugar is made from 100% certified organic sugar cane. It is a "first crystallization" sugar which means the cane is harvested, the juice is extracted, any field impurities are removed and it is crystallized. All this is done within twenty-four hours of the harvest. This ensures a minimally processed product that our SCOBY recognizes and know how to use.
The AMAZING thing about Kombucha is that by the time you drink it,
there's very little sugar left in the bottle.
The SCOBY has done its job and fueled its work with the sugar! The byproduct of that consumption is CO2 which forms the natural carbonation we love!!!
The label doesn't tell the whole story, so we wanted to do that here. Labeling is tricky because producers are required to include sugar that was added to the drink to fuel fermentation and CO2 production without accounting for the SCOBY consumption. The sugar will continue to decrease as the kombucha sits in your refrigerator. If you like a drier, less sweet taste, just let it sit a little longer. That SCOBY is still inside your bottle working hard for you!
Wishing you happiness & love.
