    GT Dave's Grape or Strawberry
    Trader Joe's Gently Gingered Kombucha (in a can). It tastes quite a bit like a beer!

    I like GT's brand as well. My two favorite flavors are Mojito and Raspberry Chia!

    There is no evidence that Kombucha has any significant health benefits. Save your money.

    This. Some can even contain alcohol but below the legal limit to be sold as such. I had a co-worker who drank it all the time. He was alcohol tested (the tongue dip test) and it came back positive. He also had a low blood alcohol level..... he's never had alcohol a day in his life (religious reasons).

    The grains are a lot easier to manage then a kombucha scoby (mother) or dairy kefir grains.

    What language are you speaking?

    The thread had me at "sour drink", but lost me with the jargon. :smile:

    You people with your crunchy words, I bet you all have dreadlocks and long toenails. :smiley:

    Kevita is a good entry point into the 'buch world. My favorite Kevita flavors are Ginger, Lavender Melon, and Peach Pineapple.

    I personally would not recommend GT's Trilogy to a newbie. It was my first taste of kombucha and it immediately turned me off to all kombucha because it tasted like straight vinegar.

    You can make your own and flavor it how you like. There are ways of growing the scoby you can look up online, I think one way is to find some pure apple cider vinegar, but not sure. I had one given to me. You can use different types of tea bags for the flavor and you can mix it with fruit juices to your liking.

    I found it too much of a pain to keep drinking it or tossing it if you didn't use it, but it is pretty hardy.

    I make my own. I have two scobys and feed then different things to influence the taste. Love it so much more than bottled!
