Remedy Kombucha

As always, I couldn’t resist picking up this newest kombucha flavour from Remedy! Though this lacks a little bit of that kombucha vinegar funk I crave, I think this is actually my favourite flavour from Remedy yet! It took me like 90% of the can to actually place the specific thing that the flavour was reminding me of, but it finally came to me. It’s like Smucker’s strawberry jam but fermented/bubbly. Really quite good!

I’m not really sure how else to describe this kombucha apart from the fact it tastes like the “kombuchafied” version of the cherry pieces in a pint of Ben & Jerrie’s Cherry Garcia ice cream. Not the ice cream or the chocolate, mind you – just the cherries. It was actually really good; I’d buy it again. Maybe the best flavour I’ve tried from Remedy!?

Couldn’t remember if I’d tried this kombucha before so I decided to pick up a can during my last grocery shopping trip – turns out that I have had it before. I guess, while I found the flavour profile average, I liked it okay last time I had it. This time around I think I was more critical – it had some nice tangy tropical fruit notes (leaned more mango IMO) but it also had just a bit of that “body odor” thing that sometimes happens with really concentrated tropical fruits. Not fun to drink a lot of at a time, so this became a sipping kombucha for me.

This is another ‘new to me’ flavour from Remedy Kombucha.

I couldn’t find it on their website, so I’m not sure if that means it’s an older flavour of their (limited edition?) or if it’s a newer flavour – but regardless I did like it a lot. It tastes very sweet for a kombucha, which I think is from the mango, and it’s also pretty generically tropical in flavour – but it was super refreshing and easy to sip on, and impressed me more than most of Remedy’s flavour options have so far.

I saw two new Remedy Kombucha flavours last time I went grocery shopping so of course I had to pick them up – I’m not sure if they’re fall flavours or part of their main assortment, but regardless they’re new to me.

This was delicious – I think it’s actually my favourite flavour from Remedy so far. It tasted liked a hard cider, but with a bit more pucker/kombucha vinegar tang! Really straight forward, but perfectly themed for the time of year.

This is the best one from Remedy yet – basically tasted like a mojito in kombucha form with a splash of lemon and how can you go wrong with that!?

Haven’t had the motivation lately to get another batch of kombucha going, so grabbed a few more from the market to keep myself stocked up – including some other flavours from Remedy that I hadn’t tried yet.

I wasn’t super impressed with this company based on the first two flavours that I tried but I thought that these ones were a slight step up. This was definitely pretty peachy and it did have some of that “kombucha funk” that I love so much – but it wasn’t reinventing the wheel or anything. A perfectly fine peach flavoured kombucha but nothing that would make me excited at all.

This is the other flavour I tried from Remedy, and I had a similar experience to the Raspberry Lemonade flavour where it did taste delicious but not necessarily like kombucha. In this case, it was more like having a nice and spicy, crisp ginger beer with a hint of lemon juice added to it. Liked the flavour and would drink again, but missing the “kombucha factor” I want…

My local grocery store seems to be stocking some of this brand’s flavours now, so I grabbed the two they were carrying in smaller bottles (200ml) to try out before deciding if the bigger bottles were worth getting…

The thing is, I liked this. However, it really just felt like a fizzy lemonade with a hint of raspberry more than any type of kombucha. I could easily drink a bigger size of this and it would be delicious, but when I buy a kombucha I want it to taste like whatever they’ve flavoured it as and like kombucha. I want the acidic, vinegar-y bite.

So, not sure how I feel about this one overall.
