Central Market Watermelon Mint Kombucha
What it is
This is a fermented tea beverage that combines the refreshing taste of watermelon with the cool, invigorating notes of mint. It is a non-alcoholic drink, brewed and fermented to create a slightly effervescent and tangy profile. The natural fermentation process gives it a unique flavor that is both fruity and herbaceous, making it a popular choice for those seeking a flavorful alternative to traditional sodas or juices. The combination offers a pleasant sweetness from the watermelon balanced by the subtle zest of mint.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the bottle refrigerated and consume within a few days. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to preserve the carbonation and freshness. Store upright in the refrigerator to prevent any leakage and maintain the quality of the fermented tea. It is best to consume the remaining portion relatively quickly after the seal is broken.
