You may have noticed recently that Dave’s Coffee has not had one of our favorite beverages in stock… GT’s Organic Raw Kombucha.
Well, unfortunately, our friends at GT’s have run into a slight problem.
As you may, or may not, know… Kombucha is a fermented green tea. And, the byproduct of fermentation is alcohol. As long as the alcohol level stays below 0.5% the bureaucratic regulators stay happy.
In a recent batch of Kombucha, someone, somehow found that the alcohol level was above 0.5% and whammo! Product gets pulled from the shelves all over the country!
Here’s the “official” word from the GT’s web site:
We are investigating reports of the potential for slightly elevated alcohol levels in our Kombucha products that may be occurring after the product has been bottled and has left our facility. Although our products are tested to be compliant at the time of shipping, a subsequent increase in alcohol levels could potentially cause the product to go above 0.5% causing potential labeling issues. We are working quickly to identify the possible causes and which lot codes and/or regions are being potentially affected.
There you have it…
When will it be back? Soon we hope.
