Jasmine Apple Kombucha
What it is
This is a fermented tea beverage infused with the delicate floral notes of jasmine and the sweet, crisp taste of apples. It offers a slightly tart and effervescent profile, characteristic of kombucha. The fermentation process creates a complex flavor that is both refreshing and subtly sweet. It is made from brewed tea, sugar, and a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). The addition of jasmine and apple creates a unique flavor combination.
