FAQ

Yes.
During fermentation, the cultures consume the sugar used in the brewing process. The final product contains a very limited amount of residual sugar, less than 0.5 g per 100 ml, making the drink legally sugar-free.

It is very easy to overstep your daily calorie and sugar intake with a modern lifestyle. Steap makes sure you can enjoy your soda without the fear of extra calories or spiking blood sugar.

All Cultea sodas have less than 14 kcal in a can, packed with fibre, living culture and natural ingredients.

Cultea is not sweetened with sugar, but with other natural sweeteners: monkfruit and erythritol.

Cultea handles room temperature great, but make sure that the temperature is kept between 4 and 25 degrees Celsius. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight can kill the living cultures and shorten the shelf life.

Kombuchas are tea-based soft drinks that are fermented by SCOBY, a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. Don’t forget that every kombucha is a bit different, as they (at least at one point) contain living organisms. Some are more acidic, some are lighter, some are alcoholic, some are not. Cultea is an alcohol-free, lightly fermented kombucha; it tastes just like a natural soda.

A living soda is a more conscious soft drink compared to the traditional, ultraprocessed sodas. Cultea contains billions of living organisms.

Lighter, more accessible, and easier to integrate. Cultea offers a softer fermented profile, added fibre, and shelf-stable live cultures without the intensity or handling requirements of traditional kombucha.

Light refers to the flavour of the fermented drink and not the fermentation method. It means that the soda isn’t dominated by a strong fermentation flavour; it only adds natural complexity to the drink.

More natural in taste and composition, Cultea is lightly fermented rather than formulated, sugar-free, and built to remain compliant across markets without relying on heavy functional claims.
