Kombuchas are those unconventional and highly misinterpreted drinks that we've become pretty accustomed to over the last couple of years. The journey of moving away from ultra fizzy and sweetened drinks towards these fermented healthy concoctions has been great, honestly. Offering a gazillion health benefits, these functional beverages have undoubtedly become our favourite go-to-drinks. So, here's a list of some kick ass local brands that you can order Kombuchas from and bid adieu to those unhealthy drinks (not counting booze here, guys).
Kombucha Therapy: Order The Best Of Kombuchas From These Indie Brands
Atmosphere Kombucha
Personally tried and tested, Atmosphere Kombucha is a Delhi-based brand which has one of the most exciting Kombuchas. The right amount of fizzy and sweet, these come in the nine delightful flavours. My favourites were the Exotic Lime, Blueberry Lavender and Spicy Ginger.
Flavours: Himalayan Plum, Blue Mint, Spicy Ginger, Flower Power, Lychee Love, Blueberry Lavender, Exotic Lime, Raspberry Lemonade and Mango Berry
Price: INR 880 (Pack of 4)
Toyo Kombucha
Brewed using five different kinds of green and black teas, Toyo Kombucha is rightfully made for the Indian palate - smooth with strong hints of tea. Free of preservatives, these non-alcoholic beverages help build strong immunity. Toyo Kombuchas come in a bunch of great flavours and are really easy on the pockets, which is great. And they're available across other cities as well, woohoo!
Flavours: Original, Mango, Lemongrass, Exotic Peach.

Raw Kombucha
Headquartered in Faridabad, Raw Kombucha is another brand that bottles these functional beverages in many (ten!) different fruity flavours. What's really fun is that they can be doubled up as mixers while making exceptional cocktails. If you're not sure which flavour suits your taste buds the best? Order their Trial Sampler Pack and you should be good to go.

Krishi Cress
If you're looking for farm-fresh fizzy kicks, Krishi Cress is the place to be. Fermented using fresh produce straight from the farms, these Kombuchas are available in delicious flavours with intriguing names (which is what intrigued us in the first place). For instance, Cleanse (Ginger, Okra and Dandelion Root), Glow (Basil, Guava and Arjun Shak), Vision (Blue Pea, Swiss Chard and Lemon) and so many more.

Bhu Kombucha
Dense with powerful, healing herbs Bhu Kombucha is a great detoxifying agent and a wonderful beverage in all. Their Kombuchas are filled in a vintage-looking glass bottle. But that's not even the best part, we were really drawn towards the names of these Kombuchas - Electric, Heal, Love and so on. Don't hold back if you wish to order more than just one flavour, we know we wouldn't.
Flavours: Balmy (Cinnamon & Star Anise), Electric (Chili & Lime), Fresh (Cucumber & Mint), Heal (Turmeric & Ginger), Love (Vanilla Bean), Pukka (Original Green Tea), Spicy (Pineapple & Ginger) and Warm (Apple & Cinnamon).
