Kikin Kombucha Butterfly Lavender
What it is
This is a fermented tea beverage infused with butterfly pea flower and lavender. Kombucha is known for its tangy, slightly effervescent quality, resulting from the fermentation process. The butterfly pea flower contributes a natural blue hue, which can change to purple when acidity is introduced. Lavender adds a floral aroma and subtle flavor, creating a unique and refreshing drink. It is typically enjoyed chilled.

This kombucha is ready to drink straight from the bottle. For the best experience, it should be served chilled. You can pour it into a glass, perhaps with a sprig of lavender or a slice of lemon, to enhance the visual appeal and aroma. It can also be incorporated into simple mixed drinks, where its unique flavor profile can complement other ingredients. Avoid shaking the bottle vigorously, as kombucha is naturally carbonated.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard kombucha, this version features butterfly pea flower, which imparts a striking natural color. The addition of lavender also distinguishes it, offering a floral note not commonly found in other kombucha varieties. This combination creates a visually appealing and aromatically distinct beverage.
Who it is for
This drink is for anyone seeking a flavorful and interesting fermented beverage.
How to keep the rest
Keep this kombucha refrigerated to maintain its freshness and carbonation. Once opened, it is best consumed within a few days. Ensure the cap is securely fastened between servings to preserve the effervescence and prevent spoilage. Store upright in the refrigerator.
