Momo Kombucha, a small brewery in London’s Brixton run by husband-and-wife Josh and Lisa Puddle, has launched Amadora’s Passion Fruit Kombucha, a seasonal drink made in collaboration with fresh-produce supplier Natoora.
Kombucha is tea fermented with a living culture of bacteria and yeast. For the new flavour, Momo uses organic passion fruit grown in Mairena del Alcor, near Seville, by farmer Amadora. The fruit is not picked early but left to fall into nets on its own so it fully ripens, making it sweeter and more aromatic. The fruit has only two short harvest windows a year.
The drink is Soil Association certified organic and costs £4.50 per 330ml bottle. It is available at Natoora, GAIL’s Bakery, Selfridges, Planet Organic and Whole Foods Market, and part of the sales goes to a fund supporting young farmers.
