Blighty Booch Kombucha and Blighty Brew Organic Loose-leaf Tea started in 2018. We import our organic tea from the High Mountains of Hunan China and use it to make our traditionally, slow and small-batch brewed Kombucha. Blighty Brew Organic Teas are selected to have an elevated L-Theanine level, which is believed to be a long-term energy substance.
We are passionate about Organic Kombucha and our search for the drink in the UK led us to make our own. Blighty Booch Kombucha has 4 flavours, Original OG, OG Ginger, Cherry and Blood Tonic.
Our Blighty Booch Kombucha requires refrigeration/cellaring through bottle conditioning and secondary fermentation within its 12-month fridge-life. Kombucha’s acidity makes it “safe” indefinitely with the flavour drier and fizzier as the sugars transform into beneficial acids. It should not be shaken or stirred, just carefully opened and poured.
There is much general interest in the health benefits associated with consuming traditional fermented products. Blighty Booch Kombucha is engaged in a “Future Foods” research product at Aberystwyth University IBERS dept looking at how the evidence for this may be established.
Blighty Brew Organic Teas are also disrupting the loose tea market by offering highest grade teas directly to the consumer. A recent study by Oxfam found that supermarkets are taking the lion’s share of the price paid by shoppers. Of the 79p paid by shoppers for a pack of 100g black Assam tea in the UK, supermarkets and tea brands receive 49p while workers receive just 3p.
37% of tea drinkers surveyed perceive tea out-of-home as poor value-for-money. This indicates more work is needed to boost consumers’ estimation of tea served in cafés. 31% of UK consumers surveyed who preference loose-leaf tea over tea bags.
Blighty Booch is made by Conwy Kombucha Ltd, a family business based operating a SALSA, OF&G Organic and Vegan Certified premises.
