A Different Experience
We know, kombucha has a strange name and looks a little curious, too. If you’ve wondered what kombucha tastes like, you’ve come to the right place. Kombucha is more than an interesting flavor, it’s a completely different experience than most anything you’ve likely ever tried.
It Has A Unique Smell
When you open a bottle of kombucha, one of the first things you may notice is the smell. Depending on the flavor you select, you may smell fruits or botanicals first. You may also notice a slightly vinegary smell. That’s totally normal. That vinegary smell isn’t as strong as a bottle of vinegar or dressing, for instance, but it is notable.

Keep in mind that kombucha is a fermented sweet tea. The vinegary smell you sense is a byproduct of the fermentation process. Interestingly, the longer the tea ferments, the stronger that vinegar smell becomes. In fact, if you were to leave kombucha in a warm spot, like a car, and then open it days or weeks later, it will smell much more vinegary than if you purchase it cold from a store and open it. Home-brewed kombucha typically has a stronger vinegar profile than commercially-made kombucha because the process is less controlled.
It’s Fizzy
Now, it’s time to taste your kombucha. When kombucha hits your tongue, you’ll notice a slight effervescence – a little tingle on your tongue. That fizzy sensation is yet another byproduct of fermentation. It’s the carbon dioxide that is released from the yeast and beneficial bacteria that is feeding on the sugar. Carbonation is a natural byproduct of the fermentation process.
It’s Zingy
That hint of vinegar adds a bit of zing to kombucha, but so does the natural carbonation. What results is a slightly tangy, tart finish that wakes up your tastebuds without making you pucker. Depending on the kombucha flavor you’re drinking, your kombucha may taste like a zingier version of tea or a milder version of lemonade. Try all kinds of kombucha flavors to find one you like best!
It’s Complex

Perhaps our favorite characteristic of kombucha is its complex flavor and experience. It’s difficult to put your finger on any one aspect that stands out more than another. The tanginess is often balanced by the sweetness of the fruits and the softness of the botanicals. It’s not flat like a juice, but slightly fizzy – just enough to let you know you’re drinking something entirely unique.
