Real Kombucha are changing the way people drink!

Real is a light, tart, refreshingly carbonated, non-alcoholic brew made from exquisite fine teas from small tea gardens around the world. Brewed using fermentation techniques usually found in fine wines and the best craft beers, they have developed a brew that can compete with the best fermented beverages, but with less than 2% sugar, less than 50 calories per bottle and only a remnant of alcohol.

Founded in 2017, Real Kombucha is now served in many of the best locations in London and around the UK. Listing restaurants and bars such as The Fat Duck (Heston Blumenthal), Tramshed (Mark Hix), Hai Cenato (Jason Atherton),The Pig Hotels and many others amongst its fans, it provides a truly sophisticated alternative to alcohol on an evening out.

With the rapid growth the business is experiencing they are now looking to grow the team to achieve future successes as the leading non alcoholic brand in the UK. They are looking for passionate, driven people who want to challenge the status quo and bring about positive change in the industry.
