Kombucha - High Country - Original - Whole Foods, Union Square, NYC
$2.50
The Turkish Beverage Board still has to acquire it’s taste for Kombucha, but I thought it was ok compared to others like it. I’m still a rookie on the kombucha scene, but it seems like one of these new-wave kombucha’s that have more of a flavor than a real taste.
I was decent though. I kept taking little nips at it throughout the night.

GT’s Kombucha No. 7
What smells like vinegar, tastes like crap, costs the same as a meal, and looks like dried vomit if you spill it on your jeans? That’s right kombucha…So I’ve been drinking this stuff for years and actually prefer the less intense tea and kombucha blends like kombucha magic drink but recently I noticed GT has three new blends no. 7 below, number 9, and no. 3….the difference I’m not sure….no. 9 was purple and no. 7 tastes like a kick of fresh Ginger and is pungent as ever..this is not the drink you get on a date or pop open at a concert, this is the drink for you if you’re into raw food and are skeptical of your friends homeade kombucha (which you should be), or for after yoga, or if you are trying to quit drinking alcohol (seriously, the fermentation leaves just a tiny bit of alcohol)…all in all if you are going to go for it with GT’s raw kombucha go with one of these numbered blends they are smoother than the guava and trilogy versions.

Multi-Green Kombucha
Perhaps I haven’t yet developed a refined taste for Kombucha, seeing as how I’ve had so little of it. But green Kombucha tastes exactly like Kombucha Original to me, only it’s dark green in color.
Despite the minor change in color, it definitely changed my psychological conception of the drink in a favorable manner. The organic, raw feeling of drinking a strange drink is heightened by the green color, whereas the old, sour looking, cloudy color of the original allows me to see one-too-many of the cultures living inside.
I would recommend trying this first, before the Original.

Kombucha Original
Kombucha Original smells terrible and you can see things floating around in it. Long, stringy things… It’s cloudy and altogether appears to be something you should never drink. The vinegary smell helps too. AND it’s $3.50.
I remember trying it awhile ago and thinking the experience was worse than it was this time. But, I actually started enjoying it after a few sips. When I would eat salad as a kid I would drink the vinegar out of the bowl when the salad was done. That might sound gross, but I’m a bevi monster so what do you expect? I was enjoying it almost until the end, but did not finish the entire bottle, which makes me think I probably need to work my up to acquire an affinity to this bevi. Especially since it’s so good for you.
Also, there’s a variety of flavors to try that might make the taste even more enjoyable. Although I do dig the vinegar bouquet of original Kombucha.
Replay value: high - give it a try. The only factor not making replay value really high is the cost.

Synergy Trilogy Kombucha
The ultimate hangover beverage will make the throbbing go away. also, the little bit of fermentation is a like a healthy hair of the dog. you’ll be ready to take another tequila shot in no time after drinking this.
The trilogy gots that ginger-goodness, along with a little bit of raspberry. i was always scared by the floating bits in the bottle, but giving this bombevi a shot was life-changing.
rejuvenate, restore, replenish, regenerate — it works.
