: MOMO Kombucha's signature drink of the summer is here 🍉🍵 Together with Good & Proper Tea, they’ve created one unforgettable drink.

Meet the Watermelon Matcha Float:

We invited Good & Proper founder, Emilie, down to the brewery to make some using their incredible House Matcha. This recipe is as much about texture as it is flavour. Velvety matcha foam meets sparkling watermelon kombucha creating a drink that’s light, refreshing and surprisingly complex. It’s the perfect example of just how exciting tea can be as an ingredient and we’ll be making it all summer long.

You’ll need:

Ingredients�• MOMO Zerbinati’s Watermelon Kombucha�• Good & Proper House Matcha�• Oatly Organic Cream�• Sugar syrup�• Ice

⚖️ Consistency vs. Culture: The Manufacturing Balancing Act

As kombucha continues to scale, brewers face an ongoing challenge: how do you grow without compromising the integrity of fermentation? A recent Booch News article explores the balance between preserving traditional brewing practices and meeting the demands of consistency, retail, and regulatory compliance. From alcohol management and batch variability to production methods, the piece highlights the tradeoffs that come with growth—and the importance of transparency in how kombucha is made.

That need for transparency is exactly why KBI introduced the Verified Seal Program: to help consumers identify authentic kombucha and recognize brands committed to industry-backed standards for fermentation, labeling, and quality.
