The Honey and Rosemary Kombucha by Bucolica

La Honey and Rosemary Kombucha of Bucolica is one of the most innovative and radical from the producer: a kombucha without tea, made exclusively with rosemary grown directly on the farm with organic method, honey from your own bees, water and the SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast — the “mother” of kombucha fermentation). A drink slightly sparkling, with a complex and highly refined aromatic profile: the balsamic and almost resinous note of rosemary meets the deep sweetness of honey, balanced by the characteristic acidic note of fermentationA drink unpasteurized, viva, in constant organoleptic evolution — the apotheosis of the short, integral supply chain and artisanal self-production.
 
 
 

The roots of this Kombucha lie in the contemporary evolution of the Asian tradition

La Kombucha It is a fermented drink of ancient oriental tradition, the first evidence of which dates back to China of the Tsin Dynasty in 220 BC, where it was called the “tea of ​​immortality” and was consumed for its supposed tonic properties. In the classic recipe, kombucha is obtained from the fermentation of a sweetened tea infusion Through the SCOBY, a symbiotic culture of yeasts and bacteria that transforms sugars into organic acids, carbon dioxide, and traces of alcohol. In recent years, some top-level artisanal producers have experimented with evolutions of the classic recipe: the “June” Tibetan, for example, replaces sugar with raw honey and uses green tea. Bucolica goes even further with a double innovation: eliminate tea completely and uses only its own herbs as a substrate for fermentation, maintaining the use of the raw honey from your own beesThe result is a deeply Mediterranean kombucha, bringing the full spirit of the company's garden to the table—a small sensory journey through Tibet, China, and the Mediterranean.
