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.

  • One of my favorite brands of kombucha with great flavors and variety. Nutritious and tasty and without excessive sugar! Great for gut health!

  • Recently tried their SunSip cherry cola prebiotic drink and the initial taste wasn’t bad. It tasted just as its marketed. It was the aftertaste that gave me pause. It was similar to the aftertaste you get when you drink diet soda, but I feel that the aftertastes of those drinks are more subtle than this one was. It contains monkfruit as one of its sweeteners so it could be that. So while it’s a no from me, it wasn’t awful and compared to actual soda this seems like a good alternative for soda drinkers trying to reduce their consumption.

  • Amazing kombucha that I can regularly find on sale at my Publix. Really yummy and the flavor options are wonderful.

  • health-ade is a fridge staple in our house. it’s the easiest and most delicious way to maintain our gut health

  • Love every single flavor. My fav is the passionfruit tangerine. I just wish that the big bottles were available in more places because where I live, they are only at Whole Foods and are always sold out

  • Some of the flavors I think are 5/5 and some of them are 2/5. None of them are terrible though. I buy this brand often and I do feel like it has good enough live probiotics when I drink it. Would recommend. Extremely bubbly so be careful not to shake EVEN A LITTLE

  • Love this kombucha! I think they consistently have really unique and strong flavors. I alternate betwen these and GT's Kombucha, and don't really have a preference between them. If you enjoy one, I think you'll enjoy the other. Only differentiator I can think of is the bottle type, GT's bottles have a wider than normal mouth while Health ade has a smaller than normal mouth, if that would matter to you.

  • My default Kombucha mostly bc I think they have the best tasting product and great flavors.

  • This brand is in my top two favorite kombucha's. We love the pink lady apple one best!

  • Probably in my top 3 of favorite kombucha brands. Great variety, easy open/seal bottle, and they taste amazing. I haven't had a flavor I don't like yet. Price is on par- maybe even better than some others for the size.

  • Like when your head gets around booch and you sauce the pink lady apple and its craaaaazy. I've tried others and this is the only one I come back to on god. All the flavors are pretty good but we all know PLA is the one. That rocked my world years ago and I been a head since.

  • I do not like the kombucha from this brand. I will not buy it again, due to the really strong acidic taste.

  • It’s my kombucha of choice! I’m glad that there are so many places, bodegas, corner stores in NYC and the world that carry Health-Ade now. It’s a great bucha, inexpensive and they have a ton of flavors.

  • pink lady apple is the best flavor. glass packaging (more sustainable)

  • Pink lady apple is one of my favorite kombuchas ever! I don't think I liked the bubbly rose very much, and the ginger/lemon one is really dank but really good (just very strong!)

    Definitely worth buying if it's on sale! Wish it wasn't so expensive but most kombucha is nowadays I guess

  • I've been drinking Health-ade products for a while and love them! Great ingredients and flavor options.

  • My favorite kombucha on the market!!! The best flavors and such a variety!

  • Health-ade was my first experience trying kombucha and I LOVED IT. However, it has way too much added sugar for me.
