Equinox Organic makes great-tasting, gut friendly kombucha in the authentic way, using water, organic green tea and raw cane sugar, plus the magic of fermentation. The craft brewers at Equinox Organic use a live culture known as a SCOBY or Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast, which they add to a warm tea brew to start fermentation. It’s full of the good stuff that makes kombucha so good for your gut.
The SCOBY used to make Equinox Organic kombucha today is the direct descendant of the one its backpacking founders brought home from Asia. The live kombucha cultures, organic acids and antioxidants found in kombucha can promote a healthy gut and digestion helping to boost immunity, balance mood and improve energy levels. If you haven’t tried kombucha, it’s a refreshing soft drink with a gentle fizz and a delicious tart edge. Equinox Organic kombucha tastes better because it’s carefully blended to achieve a balanced, rounded flavour. It takes a little more time, but it’s worth it. Equinox Organic kombucha is a great alternative to sugary soft drinks. It’s naturally low in calories, vegan and 100% natural and free from gluten, sweeteners and other additives.
Full prize: A six-month supply of Equinox Organic Kombucha and six monthly deliveries of the Equinox Organic Bottles Mixed Multipack (20 x 275ml bottles).
