Mint and Sage Kombucha

Sparkling fermented drink with aromatic herbs, tea-free and unpasteurized

A sip of lively freshness: the Mediterranean breath of sage meets the gentle thrill of mint in a probiotic bubble.

Bucolica's Mint and Sage Kombucha

Mint and Sage Kombucha is a lightly sparkling artisanal beverage made from the fermentation of a sweetened infusion of aromatic herbs grown directly on the farm using organic methods. Unlike traditional kombuchas, this exclusive recipe uses no tea: the aromatic base relies entirely on fresh sage and mint, subjected to the live action of a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). The result is an elegant, thirst-quenching beverage with an authentically Mediterranean flavor profile, preserving the live cultures and the balsamic and bittersweet notes of the medicinal herbs intact.

The roots of this Kombucha are deep in tradition

Kombucha boasts a millennia-old history rooted in the Far East, where it was celebrated as the "elixir of long life" as early as two thousand years ago. The SCOBY, a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, is the living heart of this beverage and is passed down from generation to generation, just like sourdough starter in our baking traditions. Bucolica's choice to replace tea with sage and mint from its own garden represents a fascinating bridge between Eastern fermentation wisdom and Mediterranean herbal culture, which has always recognized these two plants' invaluable role in cooking and daily well-being.

Choosing Mint and Sage Kombucha means taking care of yourself

Because it's unpasteurized, this kombucha is packed with live probiotics, natural allies of the gut microbiota and immune system. Sage has long been prized for its digestive, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, while mint aids digestion, refreshes, and contributes to a natural carminative effect. The absence of tea makes it caffeine-free, perfect for those who want to avoid stimulants while still enjoying a lively drink. A conscious choice for delicious hydration, alcohol-free, and colorant-free, an elegant replacement for commercially produced carbonated drinks.
