Update on Kombucha flavors

Here's my update on the bottles of G.T.'s Kombucha I tried (previous post)!

Lavender:
Mostly tastes like berries with just a light floral taste from the lavender. When you first sip it tastes fruity and sour - almost like drinking a really good lightly sour candy with out all of the artificial taste. You can taste more of the lavender flavor as an aftertaste. I think this was my favorite and I really wasn't expecting it to be that good!

Guava:
Honestly, it mostly just tasted like guava juice with just a slight hint of sourness from the kombucha! Yummy.

Raspberry Chia:
I was excited for this because I love pretty much raspberry everything and I likes the grape chia flavor - the chia seeds float in the drink and kind of remind me of little tiny boba bc it floats in the drink and is a little squishy and fun to slurp and chew. But... This one was a little disappointing for me. I don't think I ever even finished the bottle. It wasn't super sour or vinegary like most people seem to be afraid of with kombucha - it just didn't have any great flavor to it. It wasn't terrible - I could still drink it without being disgusted - it was just the only kombucha flavor I tried that I didn't love.

Currently obsessed with: Kombucha!

Just bought these three new flavors of kombucha to try!! So far I've only tried the gingerade flavor and the  grape chia flavor of this brand of kombucha - both of which I love and have purchased multiple times. Every time I buy kombucha, I seem to get this sense of both curiosity and disgust from the person who is checking my groceries... Apparently everyone has heard that this stuff tastes NASTY (unless I buy it from somewhere like Whole Foods or some vegan, hippie restaurant). From the two flavors I have tried, I honestly think they taste pretty awesome. Supposedly most people don't like the sour and vinegary taste of it... I've only tried this one brand (and again in gingerade and grape chia flavors) and they barely have any of a sour, vinegary taste. They have just a little bit of sourness that kind of makes it taste a little more refreshing, but they don't taste like you're drinking vinegar. Not sure if I believe all the health claims about kombucha (fight cancer, grow hair, stimulate immune system, + more), but when it tastes pretty awesome it doesn't hurt to keep drinking them just in case :)

We'll see how these other flavors taste this weekend... I'm excited.

Btw... it's 1am and I'm wide-awake with a serious headache.... I'm having a midnight snack of blueberries and Yogi Calming tea in one of my fun mugs from my collection - my Thing 2 mug I got from Universal Orlando! Actually, what am I talking about... all my mugs in my collection are fun. But this one does make me smile.
