Tag: Kombucha caffeine content

Most kombucha contains significantly less caffeine than the tea it was brewed with, often having only one-third of the original amount. The idea that 'better' kombucha has more or less caffeine is a common misconception, as the final content is influenced by several factors beyond a brand's reputation.

Despite being labeled non-alcoholic, most kombucha contains some residual caffeine from its tea base, although in significantly lower amounts than coffee or tea. This is because the fermentation process reduces but does not entirely eliminate the stimulant.

Brew Doctor's Iced Tea Lemonade kombucha contains 35mg of caffeine per bottle, a fact that surprises many who think of kombucha as a caffeine-free beverage. This amount, while moderate for kombucha, comes from the tea base used in its fermentation.

Many kombucha drinkers are surprised to learn that because it is brewed from tea, kombucha naturally contains caffeine. This is true for Elixir Kombucha, though the final amount is often much lower than in coffee due to the fermentation process.
