Without proper storage, these drinks will continue to ferment into a vinegar. We recommend storing them at the back of your fridge (where it is coldest) to slow the fermentation process down. These drinks will last in the fridge for up to five days from purchase. Once these drinks have been in the fridge for too long they may begin to taste sour. Although it may not taste as delicious as before, it is still completely safe to drink and will still contain all of the probiotics and goodness. Below are some ideas of what you can do with your fermented drinks once past the five day mark:

You can use it as a salad dressing! Simply mix with a couple of tablespoons of our olive or macadamia oil.
Add a few drops of essential oil like lavender or even rosewater to turn into a toner for your skin! You can even add it to some clay from our soap room to make a facial mask.
Add some castile soap and a few drops of essential oil to it to make your very own hand wash.

Fermented drinks are a living product and change at different stages. As they are naturally fermented they will be fizzier at warmer temperatures and flat at a colder temperature as the cold will stabilize the bacteria. If you prefer your fermented drinks flat you can drink them straight from the fridge. If you prefer it fizzy, take the bottle out of the fridge and with the lid on let it sit for up to thirty minutes and the fizz will return. The flat or fizzy consistency does not depict whether the product is out of date or not.

All of our fermented drinks are carefully handcrafted in small batches. For this reason, there are many variants that can affect the colour of the product, these include differences in fermentation time, ripeness of the fruit selected and temperature within the brewing centre at the time of brewing. These variations are proof that our fermented drinks on tap are still live and actively fermenting. A lot of supermarket brands are generally over-fermented into vinegar before being pumped full of alcohol sugars and force-carbonated in order to keep them shelf stable. This process also ensures that all batches are the same every time to cater to the mass market. Our fermented drinks greatest strength is the variation from batch to batch as a result of the natural fermentation process.

An adult should have roughly 300-350ml per day and a child roughly 150-200ml per day.

The flavours that are fermented using green or black tea leaves contain caffeine. The flavours that are fermented using flowers, fruits and herbs are caffeine free.
