We think it’s pretty cool how relevant gut health has become in the food industry. A healthy gut is crucial for your body to function properly. While there are a few kombucha brands that are always up front and center, we have to show love for all of the companies out there who care about our guts, both big and small. Some kombucha brands focus on sweet and fruity flavors while others go for the spicy and savory punch. Here are five underrated kombucha brands to have on your radar.
1. Humm Kombucha
Another kombucha company with stellar branding is Humm Kombucha. This company makes kombucha that’s live, raw and unpasteurized with two billion probiotic cultures that’ll make your gut happy. Humm Kombucha is packaged in brown glass bottles with artfully designed labels and a very minimal amount of sugar. You’ll come across flavors like Ginger Juniper, Hopped Grapefruit, Mango Passionfruit, Coconut Lime, Blueberry Mint and Chai. Humm Kombucha is available at retailers like Target and Whole Foods as well as convenience stores from coast to coast.
2. Bear’s Fruit
Bear’s Fruit
When it comes to branding, we have to say that the Brooklyn-based Bear’s Fruit kombucha takes the cake. From the font to the artwork to the shape of the glass bottle, we’re into it. Bear’s Fruit comes in flavors like Blueberry Lavender, Strawberry Jalapeño and Pineapple Mint. This kombucha doesn’t have that strong carbonated taste we’re used to in a bottle of kombucha. It reminds us more of an iced tea with a little bit of tang. It’s the perfect kombucha for easing your hesitant friends into the world of fermented drinks.
Bear’s Fruit is made with 100 percent organic fruits and herbs and none of those questionable filler ingredients. You can find the kombucha at specialty health food stores, on the company site or through Jet.
3. Revive Kombucha
Drinking a bottle of Revive reminds us of drinking a cold bottle of beer (looks wise, that is). The organic kombucha comes in dark brown glass bottles in flavors like Yerba Mate Ginger, Mocha Java Coffee, Cucumber Mint Lemon, Turmeric Ginger Citrus, Hibiscus Refresher and Ginger Lime (this one is fermented with cold-pressed ginger instead of the usual tea). Core ingredients are added to Revive’s kombucha at their peak of flavor. We always feel an energy spike after a bottle of Revive. You can find the organic kombucha at certain Whole Foods locations and specialty grocery stores nationwide.
4. Brew Dr. Kombucha

You can count on Brew Dr. Kombucha to make every batch of its kombucha with high-quality organic tea and organic botanicals like dried herbs, roots and fruits. There are no added probiotics or flavorings, only the natural (and beneficial) live and active cultures that’ll help to keep your gut in check. The alcohol that naturally occurs in kombucha through the fermenting process gets removed and repurposed by the company’s distillery.
Brew Dr. Kombucha comes in flavors like Love (brewed with jasmine and lavender) Clear Mind (rosemary, mint, sage and green tea) Mint Lemonade, Ginger Turmeric, Superberry, Citrus Hops and Spiced Apple. It’s available in 14-ounce bottles, 32-ounce bottles, 12-ounce cans and kegs. You can find Brew Dr. Kombucha at Whole Foods and other large retails stores around the country.
5. Pilot Kombucha
Glass bottles of Pilot Kombucha are hard to miss. The design reminds us of some kind of magical potion that you’ll want to get your hands on. This craft kombucha won’t travel more than 80 miles in its lifetime and you can taste the freshness as a result.
Our favorite flavor is the fruity and herbal Lavender Peach, but Pilot comes in a wide range of creative flavors like Grapefruit Mint, Turmeric Aloe, Blueberry Lemongrass, Celery Juniper, Pomegranate Rose and Apple Cider Chai. You’ll find the New York-based craft kombucha in bottled form and on draft at Whole Foods and other health food stores along the east coast.
