Kombucha Wonder Drink *Review and Giveaway*

Being the health and wellness lover I am, I've always been curious about Kombucha, pronounced [kom-boo’-cha]. I vaguely knew it was a fermented drink that takes a long process to make, but is supposed to have the most incredible health benefits.

I've always wanted to learn more about it, though, and of course try it out for myself! Thanks to the folks of Kombucha Wonder Drink, I didn't have to wait the long wait a batch would have taken to ferment-I was given an opportunity to try their products right away!

About Kombucha Wonder Drink:

"This bottle is an invitation to take part in an ancient tradition.
To sip from a simpler, more enlightened time that began
in the Himalayas one hundred generations ago.
Kombucha Wonder Drink is a curiously tart, sparkling
fermented tea. Its naturally occurring acids can help detoxify
and energize your body--without alcohol."

When the word 'fermented' comes into play, you automatically assume alcohol; In raw kombucha, the possibility of an elevated alcohol content is heightened, however the people of KWD wanted that not to be a problem so they pasteurize their products for safety. It may strip them of the beneficial bacteria, but it's safer and the consumer still receives the organic acids that help the body tremendously. 

You can choose from 8 tasty flavors: Asian Pear and Ginger, Traditional, Essences of Lemon, Niagara Grape, Cherry Cassis, Essense of Peach, Essence of Juniper Berry, Spearmint and Lemon Myrtle, and Essense of Mango, all of which can come in two different sizes; a 14oz bottle or a 8.4oz can(the can has more limited flavor options than the bottle).

For this particular review, I was sent a goodie box of 4 of their 8 flavors; Green Tea and Lemon, Asian Pear and Ginger, Cherry Cassis, and Niagara Grape.

(Note I received 5 physical products, but two of them were the same flavor-one can, one bottle).

Not only that, but they came in 3 gorgeous, glass (and recycleable) bottles and two very cute (and recycleable) smaller sized cans.

I'll start out by saying that this product probably isn't for everyone's taste palate. While I thoroughly enjoyed all of the 4 flavors I received, if you're not into a slight ACV (apple cider vinegar)/acidic aftertaste, especially in the Asian Pear and Ginger, you might not like KWD.

I have unique taste buds and always have, so like I said, I enjoyed all the flavors! My least favorite would probably be the Asian Pear and Ginger because it tasted a little bland to me, however I have a tie for my favorite: Cherry Cassis and Niagara Grape (I'm leaning towards the grape).

The product was packaged snug and safely, so I need not worry about anything being broken. The package also came with a bunch of informative paperwork, explaining the flavors, what Kombucha is, what the company offers, etc. Very impressive!

Kombucha is supposed to be great for detoxification because it's basically green, oolong, and herbal tea--just fermented. I had to be really careful with drinking this sparingly because I tend to detox fast. I noticed this especially with the Niagara Grape!

That's a very good thing for me, though-just meant I had to take a little extra time with this review :)
