Wild Tea Ginger Lime Hard Kombucha Cider

Reviewed on June 25, 2021

Wild Tea Kombucha (WTK) is the brainchild of Emily Baadsvik and Brigette Freel. Emily was the one who first caught the kombucha bug when she was training for the 2014 Olympic games. She was looking for a hydrating drink other than water! Kombucha is a fermented food, rich in probiotics, digestive enzymes, vitamin B and vitamin C. It is considered  "super drink"! They launched with the cocktail inspired kombucha, soon followed by the low sugar kombucha sodas, and recently added the hard kombucha ciders to the line-up. They are all gluten free, low in sugar and vegan friendly.

Kombucha is an effervescent fermented tea. Fermented foods, such as Kombucha, are rich in beneficial bacteria. Fermentation is one of the oldest forms of food preservation. (Wine and beer are also fermented drinks.)The hard Kombucha ciders are delicious alternative to wine or beer. They come in 3 flavours - blueberry hibiscus, mango passion fruit and ginger lime. Perry (pear cider) is used as a base and then blended with fresh pressed juice. I particularly like the crisp, tangy flavours of the ginger lime!
