Yes, kombucha contains antioxidants that help protect the body from oxidative stress and free radical damage. The antioxidants in kombucha come from both the tea and the fruits we use in the brewing process. Green tea, the base of our kombucha, is particularly rich in antioxidants like polyphenols, which support overall health, reduce inflammation, and improve skin health. These antioxidants, combined with the beneficial acids from fermentation, make kombucha an excellent choice for improving your overall well-being.

Kombucha offers numerous benefits, including supporting gut, improved digestion, and a stronger immune system. It contains B vitamins, which aid in energy production, and antioxidants that protect the body from free radical damage. We don't pasteurize or sterilize our kombucha, ensuring it remains completely natural and retains all its beneficial properties. This ensures you receive the optimal benefit of the live prebiotic fibre and nutrients. Kombucha can also support liver function and promote overall vitality.

Yes, Matea Kombucha is completely vegan! We don't use any animal-derived ingredients during the production process, and our kombucha is 100% plant-based.

Kombucha contains yeast due to the fermentation process. People with a severe yeast allergy are advised to exercise caution and consult a doctor before consuming.

Yes, kombucha does contain a small amount of caffeine from the tea used in the fermentation process. However, the caffeine content is much lower than in regular tea or coffee.

The recommended amount of kombucha varies, but one to two cans a day is a good guideline. Enjoy refreshing flavors like Mango Passion Fruit, Coconut Pineapple and Raspberry Basil.

Kombucha is a low-calorie drink with no added sugars, making it a healthier choice than sugary soft drinks. The prebiotic fibre in kombucha can contribute to healthy digestion, which plays a role in weight management.

The recommended amount of kombucha varies, but one to two cans a day is a good guideline.

Green tea is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that support overall health. It's a natural, healthy base for our kombucha, providing a mild caffeine boost and enhancing the flavor while delivering additional health benefits, such as improved metabolism and heart health.

Yes, you can make kombucha at home! The process involves fermenting sweetened tea with a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) for a period of time. If you open a few cans of Matea Kombucha and pour them into a container with tea, you can grow your own fresh SCOBY, as our kombucha is still active. 

It might take some time, but making your own kombucha is worth it! Be sure to pay attention to cleanliness and fermentation time to get the best results. If you're new to kombucha brewing, start with a small batch and follow trusted recipes for the best balance of flavors.

Our kombucha tastes better because we use minimal added sugars and instead rely on real fruit, and we use plenty of it. The vinegary, dry, and tart flavors in kombucha come from the fermentation of sugar. By adding only a minimal amount of sugar and instead choosing high-quality fruits, our kombucha tastes exactly how it should, smooth, flavorful, and easy to drink, while still providing all the health benefits. Plus, because we don't pasteurize our kombucha, it retains all its natural goodness, including live prebiotic fibre and beneficial enzymes, contributing to a fresher, more vibrant flavor.

Yes, water is one of the most important ingredients in kombucha. Since kombucha consists mostly of water, its quality directly impacts the taste, fermentation, and purity of the final product.

We use water purified through reverse osmosis. This process removes chlorine, heavy metals, limescale, and other impurities. This way, we start with a pure base for every batch of kombucha.

Purified water provides:

• Consistent taste in every batch
• Optimal fermentation , without disturbing substances
• A purer drink without unnecessary minerals or chemicals

It's an essential part of why Matea tastes and feels so good.

Matea stands out because it's naturally fermented and contains live prebiotic fibre that support gut health and digestion, something regular tea, soda, lemonade, or other beverages don't offer. Unlike soda, which is often high in sugar and empty calories, kombucha has no added sugar and is a much healthier alternative. It's also much better than lemonade, which often contains artificial sweeteners and preservatives, while kombucha is made with natural ingredients and provides antioxidants, prebiotic fibre, and organic acids that can help improve overall vitality, detoxify the body, and strengthen the immune system.

Kombucha offers the best of both worlds: hydration and health benefits in every sip.

Pasteurization and sterilization aren't ideal for kombucha because they destroy the living prebiotic fibre and beneficial enzymes that make kombucha so healthy. While these processes extend shelf life, they strip away the nutrients that support digestion and the immune system. Furthermore, using artificial processing methods often results in cheaper production, as sugar is much cheaper than using real fruit.

At Matea, we choose to use natural ingredients, including real fruit, which enhances the flavor and preserves the health benefits. While it's more expensive to use fresh, high-quality fruit, it's worth it for a product that's truly wholesome and full of flavor, and better for you!

No, Matea Kombucha doesn't need to be refrigerated. However, we recommend drinking it cold for the best flavor and refreshment. Once you open a can, it's best to consume it within a few days.

Yes, kombucha naturally contains a small amount of alcohol due to the fermentation process. However, our kombucha usually contains less than 0.5% alcohol, which is legally considered non-alcoholic. The alcohol content may vary slightly depending on the fermentation time and storage conditions.

Yes, kombucha can expire, but it doesn't spoil quickly. Over time, the flavor can become stronger and more sour due to the fermentation process. Always keep kombucha refrigerated and consume it before the expiration date.
