Health-ade reviews and discussion
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.

I love kombucha-- especially when it comes in fun and tasty flavors. Health-Ade is one of my go-to kombucha brands, with flavors like Bubbly Rose, Pink Lady Apple, and more!!
Feedback
I wish there was less added sugar.
Great taste and a wide range of flavors - would be great for those who are newer to kombucha this brand is a bit smoother than most.

If being carried in a backpack or bag, the bottles tend to leak
One of my absolute favorite kombucha brands and the brand I reach for more than any others. Flavors are well-balanced and the Bubbly Rose has the perfect amount of effervescence. I haven't tried a flavor that I didn't love. I like the vinegary taste of kombucha, but these are very mild. Perfect for people wanting to support their gut who prefer a milder kick than most kombuchas.
These are delicious, come in recyclable glass bottles, and are offered in many great flavors. My husband and I get these and drink about one a day when we have them at the house. They taste like a treat, but are healthy.

I don't really know exactly what health benefit I get from them. It's nothing that you can immediately feel or anything (at least not for me), but I don't feel bad at all after drinking them and they taste really good. They almost have a little bit of an alcoholish taste to them, which makes it fun like you're ALMOST having a drink drink, but you know you're really not.
Yum yum yum! Definitely recommend. All the flavors are amazing. The packaging is also cute which makes the drinking experience even better.

Their kombucha is good overall, but am unsure how they really stand out from their competitors.
My preferred kombucha brand- pink lady is a great flavor (might be a little sweet for beginners).
Feedback
Great for when my gut just needs a little rebalancing. Also readily available. I’m not always in the mood for kombucha, but when I am, it’s this brand.
Bubby Rose is my favorite. I am new to Kombucha and really like the flavor offerings of Health-ade. They are light and refreshing and I love the glass bottles that they come in and I like that they are easily recyclable.
One of my favorite kombuchas, especially the pink lady apple flavor!
This is a solid booch brand that I seek out when I'm out and about in the world. Very well priced.
Feedback
I would say some of the flavors are better than others. The pink lady apple is delicious. Some others have been a bit syrupy sweet/not letting the tea shine through/less effervescent.
Love the quality and taste. Good options.
Feedback
I love the taste but they all have a slightly similar profile.
Best tasting kombucha I’ve found.
love the packaging and they generally taste great - need more flavors
Great and surprising flavors, drastically different than many other kombucha brands out there. I find myself going back to buying this frequently. Plus, the bottle just looks cool!
Feedback
Can't find much.
High quality experience from start to finish. Great bottle, well balanced flavors and a nice variety.
I've used Health-ade to grow a new scoby, so these are definitely biologically active, which is what you want for the great digestive benefits! The flavors are great, although some can be a bit sweeter than other kombucha brands.
Feedback
I find the small bottle opening a little annoying.
My go-to grocery store kombucha. I typically prefer small brewers, but I know I can count on the quality of Health-Ade wherever I go. My favorites are the Bubbly Rose and Watermelon. Not too sweet and a nice treat when I'm not feeling like seltzer or soda!
Feedback
The caps are nearly impossible to remove. They have little grips on them, but that actually just makes it more painful on your hands to take off. Wish it was easier to open, but I usually just use a towel to grip onto it (and save my palms)!

Quite pleased with the quality of the product and the variety of flavors they offer.
Feedback
Less sugar is always a plus
I really love Health Ade! Love the variety of flavors, infusions, and their branding is incredible too.
Feedback
I think quite a few of their drinks are too sweet. I personally enjoy really tart and less sweet kombucha's and many of theirs are on the sweet side. I'd love to see some lower sugar options.
Health ade is the best kombucha on the market. The size is perfect for the price and the flavors are all good. I love to buy them at Costco in bulk or from Whole Foods in the smaller sizes. They also do occasional sales on holidays.
Feedback
I wish they had more flavors in the smaller size box packs.
