Central Market Passion Fruit Pineapple Kombucha
What it is
This is a fermented tea beverage that offers a unique blend of tropical fruit flavors. It is made through a process involving a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, commonly known as a SCOBY. The fermentation creates a slightly effervescent drink with a characteristic tangy taste. The addition of passion fruit and pineapple provides a sweet and exotic fruitiness that balances the tartness of the kombucha.
