Revive Kombucha

I’M SO OBSESSED. I might need an intervention. Best Kombucha out there– try UPBEAT its amazing!!!

I totally understand that kombucha isn’t everyone’s cup of tea (no pun intended). And I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that most people have tasted bad kombucha. I’m talking about the flavorless kind with the mucus-​like surface. That’s like judging all tequila because of the bad Cuervo Gold you drank in college.
Trust me, kombucha (when done right) can be a refreshing beverage with many healthy benefits. And for my money, the best kombucha out there right now is Revive (which also happens to be based in our North Bay backyard!).
It’s currently available in select stores, including Whole Foods Market, Mollie Stone’s, and Nugget locations. You can also occasionally find them at local food/​wine festivals. My favorite flavors are the Hibiscus Brew, the Coffee Brew (which happens to be infused with Blue Bottle Coffee), and the Yerbe Mate Brew (which boasts some potent ginger flavor).
Cool, little Revive factoid: they offer a Bottle Exchange Program. When you buy any of their 16oz or 64oz Kombuchas, you pay a deposit on the bottles. And if you bring your empty bottles back to an exchange location, they’ll refund you the deposit. So that’s kind of cool and green!
All in all, I’m a fan of this local company, and I look forward to watching them spread kombucha love across the state and country.

So if kombucha is to aggressive for you… this stuff is amazing I got tropic wonder and it is so good! Thank you guys for making such a delicious beverage!

Every single flavor of Revive is absolutely delicious and good for you. Not to mention they have good people behind the brand. Love their new labels and excited to try their new flavors that come out today, & beyond! Great job Revive!

I can not speak highly enough about this company, their practices, and their product.
Best Kombucha I have ever had, but its so much more than that. Environmental responsibility, care for their community and employees, and the BOMB flavor.
Their Kombucha is the real thing.
I admit, sometimes I hold onto the beautiful bottles too long for my water, but mostly so I can say hey! Have you heard of this company? Support this company.
Be the change? Drink the change.
This is what it takes to be pono. To do the right thing, and to have fun while doing so.
Thank you for the quality, and for all you do.
Og revive fo life

I started drinking kombucha because of its positive effect on indigestion. Not sure how, but I happened upon the big brown jug of Revive Gold at Whole Foods a few months ago. And since then, there’s been no other kombucha for me. This product tastes amazing and makes my body feel good. Here’s to the Revive Team up in Windsor — your product rocks. Thank you from my heart.

Cant say enough good things about Revive. The Buch came to Santa Rosa high School‘s Project Grad and served their delicious Drink to over 400 seniors. So great that the Kids get to try something so tasty and Good for them. Thanks again Revive!!!

Absolutely LOVE the Gold. New flavor (lemon & ginger) also great! Both are light and refreshing. All natural, low/​no sugar. My young toddler comes running when the bottle is set on the counter. Worth every penny!

I was pleasantly surprised when I tried Revive’s organic black tea komboucha, it’s hard to find good healthy products these days. I had never had Komboucha before and found that I loved the product, great taste and a
healthy substitute to drinking soda’s. Recommend it to anyone, enjoy.
Revive, thank you for opening my eyes to something new!

I am madly in love with this product. And yes, as the other review said, it has a taste all its own. I am full on addicted. It is spendy, but a treat worth the cost. I could not recommend it more.

Take a sip.

Live to Live.
It’s so freaking amazing.

This is by far the absolute BEST kombucha I’ve had! No joke.
Revive makes beverages that quite literally make me swoon. When I see that glass bottle on the shelf, I stare at it longingly, lovingly, as if it were a new romantic interest.
Not a fan of kombucha? Normally, neither am I. They tend to be too strong for my liking. This version tastes almost like a root beer or cream soda. Delightfully effervescent, sweet, refreshing.
I love the idea of the $ 2 bottle deposit… I definitely make sure to recycle, reduce, reuse.
Right now, I’m sipping on the new Gold version. It has Blue Bottle coffee in it! I’m in heaven.

We tasted Revive Kombucha at a fund raising event recently. We are impressed by it’s healthful qualities and have started buying it at Oliver’s Market. No longer feel the need to have a glass of wine with dinner almost every night. Especially heading in to Summer. Revive Kombucha is very refreshing. We like the hibiscus flavor.

First off let me say that my review is biased due to the fact that ownership is family.
Not so many years ago before all of this started it were my sibling and her hubby which introduced me to Kombucha. What I knew of it was some funky Chinese tea like stuff made from a fermented spore and into a drink which supposedly offered greatening feeling of vitality and more. Not like something out of a video game, like invincibility, but a good something you could get from it for the everyday. You can check out Wikipedia for more information about kombucha. During the fermentation process of «buch» there are a great many healthy benefits. Stuff which is naturally created and works to benefit us such as: Probiotics which is good for healthy digestion, boosting metabolism and strengthening immunity. These work with acids to support these functions of digestion and circulation. There are statistics that can be found on the Internet of added benefits folks have experienced from its continued consumption. In regards to myself, I’ve found that it reduces my craving for sugar, drinking a beer or snacking. Due to fermentation, it’s got less than .5 percent of alcohol. Different to a beer, I feel spirited enough to still do stuff but with enough consumption I work to help myself and get a slight buzz during. Good stuff. It’s taste and effervescence keep me spirited for those long mornings of work, laying out with people or the occasional long night of writing reviews on Unilocal!
From the time I first tasted it, I continued to sample different brands found at the likes of Whole Foods, Trader Joes and stuff found at farmers markets. You’d be surprised the number of folks that make it in their homes. On the West coast, kombucha is a big deal. So big in fact that folks prefer to have it (some are offered with higher alcohol contents) instead of their usual pint of beer. Drinking something which is good for you and giving you a slight buzz, nice! Plus it’s got a lot of good shit inside as I stated above. Revive is made with organic fair trade ingredients, its gluten free and vegan, also has low sugar and low caffeine. Those on special diets like GFCF, know there aren’t many drink options for you that contain effervescence. Due to Revive’s good stuff approach, this is an option. I mean. yeah you could drink other brands of kombucha also. But why?
Now I’ve tasted many of the brands most have seen in stores today. There are two favorites of mine, Revive and the ever popular GTS. (GTS is the easiest to find in Chicago and hopefully soon we may see Revive available there as well, that is as long as people that have tried it are willing to share their thoughts with store management.) After having to serve a day long sentence of juicing lemons at the Revive plant, I like Revive that much more. Couple reasons; which mainly are for taste. Forget that I’m biased and I know the owners. Trust me; I don’t get as much free shtuff as you might think. I know, its bogus right? My apologies for wandering off topic, but maybe management will see this review and remedy this for me. Not.
Many purists would say that kombucha should taste alike other kombucha product, which depending on which flavor you try can be kind of «mediciny» or «vinegary». While all kombucha shares that aspect, Revive has a flavor all to their own. A flavor that competitors may try to mimic, but fail in comparison. Which all starts with a black tea which to me is much different than the rest.
Since my short lived stint juicing lemons, I got to try a few other kombucha «flavors» not yet released to the public. Since Kombucha is made in small batches, you know that the people behind its creation process are doing their best to ensure the very best product. Boy, how I wish these other batches were available for everyone, but they are still in the testing phases. What fun is had at the Revive labs, indeed. Maybe one of these days Sean will start allowing people to stop by for tastings but for now, you can get a taste at many Whole Foods locations in and around Santa Rosa /​Sonoma county, as well as a few known gourmet markets. I’ve heard that there is a winery and a restaurant that plan to offer it for their customers as well, so look for it on tap. For more information check them out on Facebook or

Clicking the like button would give you the ability to know about future events, farmers markets and more places Revive would be pouring at. Which are the best places to get in on the fun of sampling. Shameless plug you say and why not. It’s hella good shit. Now go get you some and live well.
