This is my first time drinking kombucha. I got curious, so I have bought a bottle of one of the standard brands you see everywhere these days. For those of you not living in yuppie/hipster-land (a.k.a. the west coast), kombucha is fermented tea. Here in the land of coffee and quinoa it is hailed as a miracle drink that will fix all that ails you. It also has a slight amount of alcohol in it (less than 0.5%).
Maayan Did A Dumb I shook it. And then it fizzed and exploded a little when I started opening it. Oops. That's what I get for not reading the bottle. They even helpfully underlined the NOT in DO NOT SHAKE. Word to the wise and unsticky: don't shake your kombucha. Zeroth impression: The smell Well that's interesting. The smell is like leftover beer the morning after a party. First impression Totally inoffensive. It has very little taste in any direction. This one supposedly has blueberry and ginger in it; I can taste that a little, but it pretty much tastes like a hard cider, with a hint of sweetness and a bit of fumes up the nose. Enjoyable. Middle Impression Er, I'm feeling a little lightheaded. Apparently trace amounts of alcohol are enough to affect me a little. #LightweightCheapDateOperaSinger Last Impression Now I'm a little sleepy. I'm pretty sure that's mostly due to it being mid-afternoon, though; my energy always drops around now. As for the kombucha: it was fine. Neither life-changing or terrible. Just whatever in all ways. Das Ende.
