About This Drink

The pink colour comes from black carrot extract rather than grape skin alone, and the gentle tannin structure comes from the fermentation process rather than any added texture agents. It's a thoughtful bit of construction that gives it something most kombuchas don't have: structural grip. On the nose it's all strawberry and cream with a soft floral peony note. The palate follows through with cherry and ripe strawberry, but the White Peony tea bitterness pulls the sweetness back and keeps things from going cloying. There's a touch of nougat mid-palate, and the finish has a quiet vanilla-oak warmth that lingers longer than you'd expect from something so light. At 0.5% ABV with just seven ingredients, it sits confidently in the rosé alternative space. It's one of the more convincing arguments that kombucha can work at a dinner table rather than just at a health food counter.
