I really liked the kombucha flight experience here. The place was relaxing haven on a rainy day, with friendly staff, board games to try and magazines to read. The Pink Moment was a favorite – it’s made from green tea, raw honey, ginger, hibiscus, orange zest and the jun culture. Technically, the culture is known as “jun” rather than a kombucha “SCOBY”. Kombucha is usually made by fermenting black tea and refined sugar while jun is made from green tea and raw honey. I learned something new today – two things, actaully! The other is that SCOBY stands for “symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.” Anyway, even without strong flavors added (for example, the Om, which had just a little blackberry and lavender) Revel’s kombucha (jun!) tastes amazing.
Perhaps even more enjoyable was the vegan charcuterie plate – vegan cheese and salami with crackers, olives and apricots. The vegan cheese was from Conscious Cultures in NY and the salami was from Renegade Foods. Honesty, I’ve never had better vegan cheese, and I’ve tried quite a few. There were two pretty sizeable chunks of cheese, in the styles of brie and blue, and each did really taste like the dairy equivalent. Another microbiology side-note: both brie and blue cheeses get a lot of their flavor from the Penicillium fungi that they are inoculated with, rather than the milk itself. So congrats to Conscious Cultures for figuring that out, and thanks to Revel for introducing them to me! I hope that charcuterie plate is still available as I don’t see it on the current webpage.
I’m giving Revel Kombucha 5/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, for these reasons:
• The kombucha is made from organic green tea and organic honey and various additions such as organic ginger, blackberry, orange zest, etc., depending on the flavor.
• Besides being almost always organic, many ingredients are local too – like the oranges, of course!
• The food on offer was great – the vegan charcuterie board introduced us to new products like amazing brie and blue cheeses from Conscious Cultures.
• I appreciate that they let me purchase a liter of kombucha by refilling my Sigg flask. They also provide re-useable glass bottles for buying kombucha to-go.
