FAQ

Yes, and you won’t miss it. During fermentation, the cultures consume the sugar used in the brewing process. The final product contains a negligeble amount of residual sugar, making the drink sugar-free. Instead of sugar, we use monk fruit to sweeten our drinks.

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

Cultea living sodas on average have around 15 kcal in a can, packed with fibre, living culture and natural ingredients.

Cultea is sweetened with monk fruit (luo han guo), a calorie-free natural sweetener that has been in use in Asia for centuries.

Cultea can be stored at room temperature, with the ideal temperature being between 4 and 25 degrees Celsius. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight can kill the living cultures and shorten the shelf life. Make sure you chill the soda before drinking.

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. Some are more acidic, some are lighter, some are alcoholic, some are not. Cultea is alcohol-free and lightly fermented, which relates to the taste of Cultea and doesn’t describe the fermentation process.

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

A living soda is a more conscious soft drink compared to traditional, ultraprocessed sodas. Sugar-free, made only with real, natural ingredients, containing billions of living cultures and grams of fibre.

Lightness refers to the flavour of the fermented drink and not the fermentation method. It means that the soda is made just like any other kombucha, but it 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.

Cultea is a soda first, enjoyable, refreshing, and easy to choose, not positioned as a supplement or something that requires explanation to consumers.

Anytime you need a light refresh. Enjoy it in the morning, after lunch, or as an afternoon pick-me-up. Since it’s brewed from real tea, it may contain a small amount of naturally occurring caffeine (Green Tea, Alt Cola flavours contain 10-14 mg/100ml), so keep that in mind if you’re sensitive in the evening.

Cultea is brewed from real tea, so it contains a small, natural amount of caffeine; however, most flavours contain less than 1 mg/100 ml. The tea-forward (Green Tea) or coffee-containing (Alt Cola) flavours have around 11-14 mg of caffeine per 100 ml, roughly comparable to a can of cola.
