There’s two new flavours of Lo Bros’ Kombucha in town, and just in time for the Christmas festivities too! Lo Bros sent us some samples to try, along with some of their famous cans. Just as the summer is ending (can you tell I’m working from my outdoor office this weekend?) we think about going into Christmas and how it probably isn’t great for our overall health. Kombucha is your friend this time of year; let me explain why.
What is kombucha?
Kombucha is a fermented drink, which by the nature of how it’s made is filled with live, good bacteria. This good bacteria is great for your tummy and balances out the bad bacteria that can make us feel sluggish, but also causes lots of health problems. The good bacteria is an antidote to our lifestyles as well, where we probably don’t eat as wholefully and healthily as we should. The fermentation happens with very low sugar in the juices which are used so there’s not a lot of glucose in the drinks, and kombucha is naturally fizzy. The end products is an effervescent fruit flavoured drink which also contains live culture.
Lo Bros have several flavours, some of which we’ve reviewed before: https://thereviewstudio.co.uk/2023/07/26/lo-bros-kombucha-cola/ but this week we were sent two new flavours: Raspberry & Blackcurrant and the limited edition Fruit Crush. Fruit Crush is made with black tea, mango, orange, passion fruit, apple and raspberry, all fermented together to make the fizzy kombucha. The Raspberry & Blackcurrant flavour is made the same way, with a slightly sweeter flavour to it and the hints of raspberry and blackcurrant coming through. The Ginger & Lemon and Raspberry & Lemon flavours are just as delicious, with the subtleties of each fruit coming through and the sparkling texture plays on your tongue. You can almost imagine it is like an alcoholic drink – but healthier!
The bottles are eco-friendly as they’re not made of plastic, they’re all glass and the cans are recyclable too. In fact, Lo Bros are a Net Plastic Brand, meaning they don’t put any plastic into the environment.
Lo Bros was born in Byron Bay, Australia 20 years ago and has since transported to the UK.
Fruit Crush and Raspberry & Blackcurrant will be available in Sainsburys soon for £2. Here’s the link to Lo Bros’ Cola: https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/lo-bros-organic-kombucha-cola-330ml
