I was planning on getting
the famed Lemon Kombucha when I first saw it on Jungkook’s VLive but I was more
tempted by the Citron flavour when I saw it on the TEAZEN
website (luckily,
because it meant that I didn’t have to live with the guilt that I contribute to
the immediate sell out and his pout in the 2nd VLive) BTS – truly king’s of selling-out
products! (insert JK
saying “MY POWER”)
Getting its signature fizz from fermentation, TEAZEN Kombucha
dissolved almost immediately when it came in contact with water (no need for
lots of shaking), and has the mouth feel of slightly flat root beer when you
follow the 250mL dilution.
Citron is reminiscent of yuzu lemon green tea + a small spoonful
of honey, with a hint of yuzu peel bitterness – it covers the taste of kombucha
ferment well – tangy, but nowhere near the sourness of having Lemona powder.
When super diluted, you can taste a bit of the grapefruit in there too.
Those familiar with my preferences will know that I have trouble
finishing even a single can of cola, seldom order cold beverages at restaurants
(unless they’re really photogenic) , and that my favourite ‘fizzy’ remains to
be sparkling water.
Carbonated drinks and I just don’t get along, so kombucha was
never something I particularly enjoyed, and I wouldn’t reach for it when
looking for a treat; but I do think that the powdered medium offered makes it
easy and versatile to customize to each person’s preferences.
Diluting it with around 450-500mL of green tea is now my go to,
and I’d happily finish the pack for the small boost of good gut bacteria and
try out the other two flavours.
I’ve finished around half my pack now (drinking once a day only,
unlike Jungkook who drinks two), and I haven’t noticed a significant change to
my bowel functions, but I imagine it’s more of a gentle process that builds up
(especially because I’m not following the directions completely) and I might
check back in after I finish the pack.
