Our French sensory collective comments
Our experience with Merry Little Elderberry Kombucha was truly enjoyable. It stands out in every aspect, showcasing the craftsmanship and love poured into its creation. A delightful and memorable drink that leaves a lasting impression.
Product description
Merry Little Elderberry's Elderberry Kombucha has been slowly fermented for a total duration of six weeks, thus ensuring the maximum amount of sugars have been consumed in the process, and converted into an effervescent probiotic rich beverage that's slightly tart, yet robust, and is nourishing, refreshing and palate cleansing.
Taste description
Merry Little Elderberry's Elderberry Kombucha is a naturally carbonated, slightly tart, crisp, clean beverage that's easy to drink and leaves the body feeling refreshed and nourished after consumption. The elderberry notes provide a robust and earthy undertone, which complement the slow fermented, slightly sweet, yet clean refreshing notes of the Sencha green tea used in the kombucha.
