Kombucha has recently become popular due to its many health benefits and delicious taste. However, not all kombucha is created equal. One key factor that can affect the quality of kombucha is how it's served. At Zentient Culture, serving kombucha on tap is the best way to enjoy this delicious and health-promoting drink. This blog will explore why on-tap is the way to go when enjoying kombucha.
First, let's talk about the benefits of kombucha. Kombucha is a fermented drink made from tea, sugar, and a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. During fermentation, the bacteria and yeast consume the sugar, resulting in a drink that's low in sugar and high in beneficial bacteria and organic acids. Some of the benefits of kombucha include improved digestion, increased energy, and a boosted immune system.
So why is on tap the best way to enjoy kombucha? Here are a few reasons:
- Fresh: Kombucha on tap is fresher because it's stored in light-proof, oxygen-free stainless steel kegs. Bottled or canned kombucha can sit on store shelves for weeks or months and be subject to fluctuating fridge temperatures before consumption.
- Environmentally friendly: Kombucha on tap is also better for the environment because it reduces the need for single-use bottles and cans. By serving kombucha on tap, we can reduce our carbon footprint and promote sustainability.
- Cost-effective: Kombucha on tap is often more cost-effective than bottled or canned kombucha. Kombucha in single-use packaging requires either a bottle or can, plus labels, caps, and printed outer cardboard outer cartons shipped on pallets wrapped in plastic shrink wrap. The total packaging cost of single-use bottles and cans can make up to ⅓ of the entire cost of the drink. In comparison, the steel kegs used by Zentient are purchased by us and then provided lease and deposit free to approved customers. Amazingly steel kegs have a life span of up to 30 years, meaning they can be washed and re-used thousands of times at no cost to the end customer.
- Transport: Single-use bottles and cans typically have higher transportation costs and food miles, as full pallets of kombucha are shipped to distribution centres, broken down into cartons, and then sent to stores. At Zentient Culture, we self-distribute directly from our Fermentary to your business with a personalised touch and a smile. By offering self-distribution and our beverage in reusable kegs, we can keep costs low and offer our customers a delicious and affordable drink.
- Variety: Serving kombucha on tap also allows for a wider variety of flavours and combinations. At Zentient Culture, we offer a range of delicious and health-promoting kombucha flavours on tap, including traditional flavours like ginger and lemon and unique and creative flavours like raspberry and hibiscus.
- Customisable: Kombucha on tap also allows for customisation. Customers can choose the amount of kombucha they want and add additional flavours or ingredients to create their unique drink.
In conclusion, serving kombucha on tap is the best way to enjoy this delicious and health-promoting drink.
