If Gqeberha had a colour, it would be this one – deep ruby red, vibrant, and full of life. Our Rosehip & Hibiscus Kombucha is bold, floral, and refreshingly tart – a handcrafted sip of wellness brewed in the heart of Gqeberha, made entirely from rosehips and hibiscus flowers.
This multi award-winning brew isn’t your typical tea-based kombucha. There’s no green or black tea here – just a naturally caffeine-free blend that captures the pure essence of botanicals. It’s tangy, floral, and gorgeously alive with probiotic fizz, making it a favourite for those who love balance, beauty, and flavour with purpose.

🌸 The Beauty in the Brew
Only the very ripe rosehips and precious hibiscus flowers are selected to create this all-natural drinking experience, both known for their high vitamin C and antioxidant content. These botanicals steep into a deep crimson infusion that looks as striking as it tastes – bright, floral, and just a little tart.
From there, we ferment it slowly with live kombucha culture, allowing natural bubbles to develop and those probiotic benefits to come alive. The result? A floral kombucha that’s clean, tangy, and delightfully refreshing – no caffeine, no additives, just nature doing what it does best.
Each small batch is brewed right here in Gqeberha, where our local energy and coastal calm come together in a bottle that’s both grounding and uplifting.
💖 A Functional Beauty
Beyond its radiant hue and crisp taste, Rosehip & Hibiscus Kombucha delivers a host of natural benefits that make every sip feel good from the inside out:
Vitamin C boost: Both hibiscus and rosehip are loaded with vitamin C – supporting immunity, skin health, and cell repair.
Antioxidant power: These botanicals help protect against oxidative stress, giving your body (and skin) a natural glow.
Gut-loving probiotics: Like all our kombucha, it’s full of beneficial bacteria that support digestion and gut balance.
Naturally caffeine-free: Perfect for all-day enjoyment – from morning meditation to a relaxed evening sundowner.
It’s the kind of wellness that doesn’t shout – it shines.
