I picked up a bottle of the Green Passion variety today with lunch. It's one of those things that tastes nothing like it looks like. When you're looking at a murky green solution, you expect something a bit gross, but it was quite refreshing. The funny thing is...the drink it most closely tastes like is cheap, champagne. I know that sounds a bit strange, but that's what it's like. So if you enjoy a glass of Mums on the weekend, maybe you should check this out during the week.
It is pricey though. $3 for a 16oz. bottle of anything is steep, and it was on sale. It's usually $3.79.
I really like this kombucha. It's nice and light. I've only had the elderflower and the hibiscus island kinds but they're both really good. In terms of flavor, elderflower is a little sweeter. Hibiscus island is actually a little spicey as it's got some ginger in it. I have to say, Kombucha Botanica is a little more tea-like than GT's Kombucha. And Kombucha Botanica is less effervescent (for better or worse).
I do like them both but I think on the whole I have to say I prefer Kombucha Botanica. The only thing is...when it's not on sale at Whole Foods it costs something like $3.19 per bottle (although according to the label, each bottle is 4 servings and you're supposed to drink 2-4 servings a day).
