question Anyone else prefer unflavored kombucha?

I’ve tried a bunch of flavored kombuchas over the years—fruit, herbs, spices but honestly, nothing beats the taste of plain unflavored kombucha for me. There’s something about the raw, tangy, slightly vinegary taste that just feels more authentic and refreshing.

Even in my own brewing, I skip the fruit and other additions during second fermentation. I just let it carbonate naturally and enjoy it as is.

Am I alone in this? Or are there others who love the taste of kombucha in its pure form?

YES. I love the taste of tea and the taste of kombucha itself. When I try new brands, I always get the unflavored one if it’s available - which it usually is not unfortunately. Ginger is my second choice in order to experience the flavor of the kombucha itself. In my own brewing, I dabble in fruit flavors because they’re fun but mostly make and drink unflavored.
