Summary

This kombucha contains beneficial ingredients like black and green tea leaves, which are rich in antioxidants, and a kombucha culture that provides probiotics. However, it is considered ultra-processed due to the presence of erythritol and natural ginger flavor, which can detract from its overall healthiness. The use of sugar, even though partially fermented, and the inclusion of natural flavors also contribute to a lower score.
