Corporate Essentials is excited to announce the addition of GT’s Kombucha to our “on tap” line up. GT’s Gingerade Kombucha joins our Essential Coffee Company Gotham Dark Roast Cold Brew Coffee, Wandering Bear Cold Brew Coffee, Chameleon Cold Brew Coffee and Evy’s Cold Brew Teas in our list of kegged offerings.
GT’s describes their Gingerade Kombucha as two of nature’s superheroes joining forces with the healing power of GT’s Kombucha being balanced out by the cleansing abilities of fresh-pressed ginger juice.
According to The Truth About Kombucha on WebMD, Kombucha is often referred to as mushroom tea, kombucha is not made from mushrooms, but the bacteria and yeast that grow on top of the beverage result in a blob that resembles a mushroom. It is made by adding the bacteria and yeast to sugar and black or green tea and allowing the brew to ferment.
At first taste, kombucha tea tastes somewhat earthy, tart, with a little effervescence and a vinegar-like smell – not so pleasing to the taste buds. To make the tea more palatable, juice is added to the base brew. But if you look a little closer, you notice little floating bits of bacteria in the unpasteurized beverage.
The fermented beverages are high in acid and contain sugar, vinegar, B vitamins, antioxidants (from the tea), trace amounts of alcohol (a natural consequence of fermentation), and other chemical compounds. One 16-ounce bottle contains about 60 calories, which is less than a soft drink.
GT’s Gingerade Kombucha is stored and delivered to be poured fresh from your office keggerator. If you’re interested in getting kegged kombucha, or any of our “on tap” offerings your office, contact us today.
