Reviews mention

  • Vibrant, balanced flavor variety
  • Crisp, effervescent mouthfeel
  • Distinctive, reusable glass packaging
  • Perceived gut-soothing benefits
  • Occasionally too sweet profiles
  • Sometimes sharp, vinegary aftertaste
  • Inconsistent carbonation retention
  • Narrow, awkward bottle opening

Health-ade earns largely positive reviews for flavorful, crisp kombucha that many say supports gut comfort and comes in distinctive, reusable glass bottles; Pink Lady Apple, Passion Fruit Tangerine, Ginger Lemon, Cayenne Cleanse, and Mint Limeade stand out. Reviews also flag drawbacks: sweetness and added sugar for some palates, occasionally strong vinegary or “funky” aftertaste, variable carbonation/fizz, and small or hard-to-open bottle mouths. Overall, the brand is considered good—often a go-to—with vibrant flavors and broad variety, but not ideal for those seeking low-sugar or ultra-mild kombucha.

  • It taste like every other kombucha, it’s delicious but I don’t think it’s worth the price. I’ve made kombucha before with a scoby in a dark cabinet so I appreciate the dark bottle to stop the fermentation. I haven’t found a flavor yet that I absolutely love either.

  • Their cayenne cleanse is hands down one of my favorite drinks... I will always grab it when I see it on the shelves; the only problem is it seems the flavor is elusive and never in stock. Have had some of the others which are all solid as well but the cayenne cleanse is a favorite drink of mine!

  • My favorite Kombucha brand. Can’t go wrong with most of the flavors and I’m always looking forward to trying the new ones. Passionfruit Tangerine is my go-to but I still like the OG flavor that got me into Kombucha — Pink Lady Apple!

  • A yummy bev option. Love the pink lady apple and pomegranate! An acquired taste but if you've never had a kombucha before pink lady apple is the way to go. I much prefer this brand over other kombuchas on the market.

  • Pretty delicious but definitely has a stronger kombucha after taste. I love the variety of flavors. This definitely helps after eating a greasy meal.

    I love to see more flavors with sweetness. They could also try doing swag and more promotional events to reach more fans.

  • I love their Pink Lady Apple kombucha for a refreshing drink on a hot day - also great to sip on as a mocktail when with friends.

  • One of my favorite kombucha brands! It's a bit sweeter than most, but it still has that unique kombucha tartness. My favorite flavors are the classic pink lady and watermelon. Where I'm located, Health-ade can be a little expensive, but I've found it on sale at Aldi. Regardless I find that it's worth the price as I'm able to get multiple servings out of it, and it serves as a nice alternative to carbonated soda for me! Plus the bottles are so easy to upcycled as they're made from a thicker glass.

  • I love the pink apple flavor and I reuse the glass bottles for cleaning products and flowers.

  • These are some of the best kombuchas I have tried! I love the pomengrate flavor! It's not overly sweet and doesn't have the weird after taste some kombuchas have. Plus they come in glass bottles which I personally have re-purposed for plant propagation.

  • Not a big fan of kombucha but some of the flavors like apple are really good and don't taste too vinegary

  • The Pink Lady flavor is SO delicious, but I had to dock a star for the added sugar. It’s also a tad pricier than its main competitor.

  • I love kombucha, but am a little picky when it comes to which ones I like. That being said HealthAde is my go-to! I love the variety of flavors whether I want something more simple or fancy. Plus, support gut health makes it that much better!

  • I like a strong punchy kombucha and the lemon ginger delivers. Works well to support gut health and tastes yummy with a sushi roll.

  • I find the range of flavors to be impressive and would say this is the kombucha brand I see most often at stores, but each flavor tastes almost the same to me - from peach to ginger to pomegranate.

  • Tried several flavors and while they ARE tasty, they tend to lean too sweet for my taste.

  • I love how there are so different favors to choose from and also love how they make my gut feel better whenever I drink them. These are my go to drink choice and highly recommend!

  • Grabbing a fun lil bevy from the shoppy shop or bodega is my favorite form of self-care. While I do enjoy trying a variety of new things, I am ALWAYS happy to see Health-Ade's Cayenne Cleanse on the shelf. It is a go-to for my fiance and I—mostly because it always hits. The taste isn't as vinegary as some other kombuchas are and I appreciate the balanced but impactful flavors.
