Cultured Kombucha’s Apple Pie Chai

Bottoms Up
By Lynda Wheatley | Oct. 24, 2020

It’s baaaack! For every Starbucks-toting, tall-boot and puffy-vest-wearing gal who’s giddy that Pumpkin Spice Latte season has returned, there’s at least one person in an old wool sweater who isn’t moved by this manufactured-flavor mayhem. For them, there is something far sweeter, less artificial, slightly tart, and totally good for your gut: Kombucha queen Courtney Lorenz’ Apple Pie Chai Kombucha. Heavy on the apple, (real) cinnamon, and bubbles, and light but lovely with hint of cardamon, this seasonal selection is one of our favorites — whether over ice or mated with aged rum — but [sad face here] it’s only available until December. Try it soon at Cultured Kombucha’s newly reopened taproom or find local retailers who carry it by visiting www.drinkcultured.com.
