Kompassion Kombucha

Sarsaparilla root – a woody vine traditionally used in herbal medicine and as an ingredient in root beer – is the key ingredient in this kombucha. Scottish brewery Kompassion has drawn on the root’s naturally cola-like flavour and foaming effect to produce a fermented beverage with a velvety texture and a smooth, cidery taste. A best-seller since day one, it is creamy and refreshing, it is lifted up by aromatic cloves and rich vanilla bean paste.

The brainchild of Rajkumar Dhanaraj, this fragrant and sumptuous duet of sweet and tart balances the floral flavour of lavender with the tangy fizziness of fermented black tea. Lavender flowers are steeped in a steamy pot to release their essential oils, which, when combined with Kompassion’s signature kombucha recipe, yield a refreshing, almost cola-like flavour. Pour over ice in a glass or get creative with cocktails and mocktails.
