Melissa and Beetroot Kombucha Bucolica

Melissa and Beetroot Kombucha is a lightly sparkling artisanal beverage, with an intense and mesmerizing color between blush pink and purple, made from the fermentation of an infusion of lemon balm and beetroot, grown organically on the company's own land. Unlike traditional kombuchas, this exclusive recipe uses no tea: the earthy and mineral sweetness of beetroot meets the citrus, balsamic, and slightly minty notes of lemon balm, creating a surprising balance. The active action of the SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) transforms the infusion into a fresh, savory, and probiotic beverage, preserving the live cultures 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 far back as two thousand years ago. The SCOBY is the living heart of this beverage, a symbiotic culture passed down from generation to generation, just like sourdough starter in peasant bakeries. Lemon balm, also known as "lemon balm," has been celebrated since ancient times: Pliny the Elder praised it for its calming and digestive properties, while in the Middle Ages, monks extracted the famous "Melissa Water" from it. Beetroot, for its part, was already cultivated by the Romans as a prized vegetable. Bucolica combines these two peasant legacies in a unique fermentation.

Choosing Melissa and Beetroot Kombucha means taking care of yourself.

Because it's unpasteurized, this kombucha is rich in live probiotics, natural allies of the gut microbiota and digestion. Lemon balm has long been prized for its relaxing, natural anti-anxiety, and digestive properties, promoting peaceful sleep and relieving tension. Beetroot is a veritable treasure trove of antioxidants, betaines, iron, and natural nitrates that support blood circulation, muscle energy, and liver function. The absence of tea makes it caffeine-free and perfect for any time of day, especially in the evening, when the calming effects of lemon balm gently guide you toward rest.
