Reed's Culture Club Kombucha, Coffee — TREAT
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
