Tasted surprisingly good. A bit sweet
I received the grapefruit flavor of this and I will say I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the product. It was a bit crisp and sweet. I haven't tried other brands of powdered kombucha but I could see me adding this to a bottle of water while traveling to keep everything moving around.I the sweet comes from maltodextrin, which is probably not great to add to something that is supposed to help your gut health. When you look up maltodextrin there are studies that claim it can change your gut health and It can suppress the growth of probiotics in your digestive system. As someone who tries to avoid over processed food when possible I won't use this regularly. If you have diabetes or insulin resistant you should probably monitor how much maltodextrin you ingest.Overall good flavor for me, but disappointed in a few of the ingredients.

Kombucha flavored tea. Wouldn't replace my kombucha. Uses erythritol and Maltodextrin.
I have tried a few of these now. First thing I looked at when I received was the ingredient list.To make kombucha- it is tea, sugar, water and a scoby. When I am making it, I use natural flavoring. That is all of the ingredients.This kombucha iced tea contains maltodextrin, erythritol, citric acid, kombucha powder, sodium bicarbonate, mixed berries juice powder and bacillus coagulans. This is many more ingredients than just the few ingredients it takes to make kombucha.Making it:This is a breeze to make rather than regular kombucha that can take almost 2 weeks for me to make. I simply poured the powder in and mixed it with a cup of water.To taste:When mixing the water in it, it fizzed. I thought "oh, this is going to be a fizzy one!". Not really. To taste it, there is no fizz. It has the sourness of something like kombucha but more like citric acid than an actual kombucha sourness. It is sweeter than kombucha. It has an artificial sweetener flavor that lingers in my mouth. It does not really have a tea flavor either. It is a sweet sour drink that is kombucha flavored, in my opinion.4 stars- I debated on 4 or 5 stars. As a kombucha drinker, this is not something that I would particularly drink. I prefer the actual kombucha. I prefer the limited ingredient list. I prefer no artificial sweeteners.If I were looking for something different to drink and was concerned about sugar or calories, this is a drink that I would go for. It has a nice tartness and a sweetness.

Taste great and very refreshing
I have switched to probiotic drinks long ago and avoid sugar loaded drinks because they do no good to our body. Kefir, Kimchi, Kombucha, sauerkraut and probiotic yogurt are some of my favorites and I make kimchi and sauerkraut very often.This pack has 14 servings of iced tea powder in grapefruit flavor. I like very mild flavor so just use half the packet for one serving. These packs do have sugar so I would not consume this regularly but they are very good to take for vacation and camping. I also keep a pack for office sometimes. Taste is good these sachets are a good option if you need a quick refreshing drink. Just add chilled water and ice and its ready in seconds.

Mild but pleasant taste
This drink is packaged in convenient, premeasured packets. I have the mixed berries flavor.The flavor is pleasant. It is sugar free, but not overly sweetened. Package directions say to mix with 8 to 12 oz of water. At 12 ounces, it is a little weak, 8 is better.I did not detect much of a kombucha taste, which would be a positive for people that are not crazy about it but want the health benefits.

very sweet, convenient for travel, better diluted
I am a swim coach and constantly preaching the importance of hydration. But as a person that doesn't drink anything other than water there are times a little flavor will help.These are fairly expensive but most individually packaged drink additives are. These plastic packets are easy to tear open. There is a sweet berry smell. It doesn't stir in very easy but it does stir in with a fork. This method creates a brown foam that is not very appealing. Adding it to a bottle and shaking works better.This has a nice tartness that I appreciate but is way too sweet. I like adding it to my 20 oz bottles better than just a cup of water. This doesn't cause any stomach upset or other issues for me.

Taste better than bottled Kombucha
Really like this stuff. It isn't too sweet, but has a mild sweetness and carbonation that is easy on the palette. Has the health benefits of bottled kombucha, in a convenient form. Would buy again.

Great tasting drink
I've never tried Kombucha before so decided to give it try with these mixed berry tea packets.I mixed a packet of it with 12 ounces of water. It doesn't get super fizzy, but it did build up some pressure in the water bottle I mixed it in. There was a noticeable hiss when I took the cap off. The powder mixes into the water well and there is no separation if you let it sit without drinking it. It is not overly sweet either, although I find I like less sweetener in my drinks these days so I wouldn't be upset if it had less.Having never tried Kombucha I didn't know what to expect. The tea flavor in it is very mild and there is a definite subtle fermented flavor to it. The berry flavor has a hint of artificial taste, but not terrible.It contains Bacillus Coagulons, which has questionable probiotic benefits and can have unpleasant side effects, like stomach ache, fever, and worse diarrhea. I didn't experience any of the side effects from it and I didn't notice any gut health increase after drinking this.While I can't say that it is beneficial, I can say that I find it to be a pleasing drink and will enjoy the entire box.

Tastes more like tea than grapefruit
I have had a similar product recently that I liked so well I already reordered a box. So I was anxious to try this too. To me this tastes a lot like tea with very light undertones of grapefruit. I liked it I just didn’t love it like I love the other one.
