Unified Ferments 'Kettl Collaboration Soba' Spain

Unified Ferments 'Kettl Collaboration Soba' SpainSoba represents one of a series of collaborations that Unified Ferments has undertaken with Kettl, a Brooklyn based importer that sources exceptional Japanese teas. This iteration uses not only jasmine tea but also buckwheat as a base, drawing deep notes of heirloom grain and spun sugar all with less than 0. 5% ABV. The ferment pulls out the fruitier side of the grain, with high notes of poached pear and persimmon. This is technically a kombucha, but
