Reed's Culture Club Kombucha, Coffee — TREAT

Name: Reed's Culture Club Kombucha, Coffee
Brand: Reed's Inc.

Munch or Dump rates Reed's Culture Club Kombucha, Coffee by Reed's Inc. TREAT — score 45/90.

A clean, organic fermented kombucha-coffee, but it's sweetened with real cane sugar (~20g a bottle) and sells itself on big 'detox and energize' promises. Simple ingredients, indulgent sugar load.

Why this verdict

Added organic cane sugar is the #2 ingredient (~20g per bottle)
Marketed as a detox/energize health tonic despite the sugar
Live fermented culture and organic tea base are genuine positives
Short, clean ingredient list with no artificial additives

Ingredients (6)

Spring water (safe) — The base and overwhelming majority of the drink.
organic cane sugar (moderate) — Added sugar feeds fermentation but leaves ~20g per bottle; the main reason this isn't a clean drink.
Organic oolong tea (safe) — Whole tea, antioxidants and mild caffeine.
Organic yerba mate tea (safe) — Natural plant tea with caffeine and antioxidants.
Organic coffee (safe) — Brewed coffee for flavor and caffeine, no additives.
Kombucha culture (safe) — Live fermentation culture; source of probiotics and organic acids.
