Did you ever hear that kombucha, as a fermented tea, has variable quantities of alcohol? If you did, then know it's true.
Usually the quantity of kombucha alcohol is very small, although some commercial brands keep on fermenting within the package and may reach higher values. Even though not everyone notices, some people do report a certain "jolt" as a result of kombucha alcohol, after drinking this fermented tea.
In 2010, Whole Foods Market removed unpastesteurized kombucha from the shelves, due to the possible presence of a distinguishable quantity of alcohol in them (in the very least as a precaution, as percentages may vary). As far as regulation agencies are concerned, a warning was even issued that taxes applicable to alcoholic beverages might be extended to kombucha.
Kombucha alcohol content may vary from a small 0.5 to the more noticeable 3 percent.
