Madeline's Fermented Beverages collection brings together live-culture kombucha and raw beet kvass from independent makers like Walker Brothers Beverage Company, Garden Goddess, and Fine Feathers Kombucha. These are naturally fermented, probiotic drinks in flavors from citrus and ginger kombucha to organic raw beet kvass. Every maker named below is in stock and ships nationwide.

How to choose

  • Kombucha or kvass. Kombucha is a fermented, lightly fizzy tea; beet kvass is a tangy, earthy fermented beet drink. Both carry live probiotics.
  • Pick a flavor. Citrus and ginger kombucha are bright and approachable, while blends like blueberry jasmine and cucumber melon are milder.
  • Sweetness and tartness. Longer-fermented drinks taste tarter and less sweet, so check the maker's notes if you prefer a gentler start.
  • Single bottles or variety packs. Variety and multi-packs let you try several flavors or keep the fridge stocked.
  • Keep it cold. Live-culture drinks are perishable and should be refrigerated, so plan to chill them on arrival.

Frequently asked questions

What is kombucha? Kombucha is tea that has been fermented with a culture of bacteria and yeast, producing a lightly fizzy, tangy drink with live probiotics. Flavors come from added fruit, herbs, or juice.

What is beet kvass? Beet kvass is a traditional fermented drink made from beets and water, with a salty, earthy, tangy flavor. It is naturally probiotic and is often taken in small servings.

Do fermented drinks need to be refrigerated? Yes. Live-culture kombucha and kvass are perishable and keep their probiotics best when refrigerated. Chill them on arrival and follow the label.

Are these drinks alcoholic? Fermentation can leave a trace of alcohol, but kombucha and kvass sold as non-alcoholic beverages stay under the legal limit. Check the label if this matters to you.
