Kombucha Tea Will Become a 21 and Over Drink By Laura Fishman on March 14, 2011 12:09 PM | No TrackBacks

Kombucha tea products disappeared from the market last year when the federal government announced that the drink would have to be tested for its alcohol content. The Los Angeles Times reported that it was once common for the black tea drink to have more than 0.5 percent alcohol, which is the limit for non-alcoholic drinks in the United States.

This left Kombucha tea manufacturers with two options: either change their formula so that the drink's alcohol content would be reduced, or label the product as an alcoholic beverage. It looks like the company GT Kombucha has decided to do both.

Kombucha tea is apparently making a quiet return to the market with a whole new style. GT Kombucha is making one new Kombucha product that will have its alcohol content within the .5 percent limit, but the company is also launching an over-age-21 Kombucha drink that remains slightly alcoholic. While this new branding may seem simple, some say that the new variety has the potential to create a great deal of confusion among consumers.

Some parents may now not want their children to have any Kombucha tea product. Drivers may accidently drink the alcoholic type of Kombucha tea and get themselves into an accident or even arrested on suspicion of DUI.

Obviously, it would take a significant number of Kombucha tea drinks to get drunk. Yet Los Angeles drivers may still want to be on the safe side and avoid getting behind the wheel after the consumption of Kombucha tea. Anybody arrested for DUI always has the right to contact an attorney to learn how a conviction can be avoided.
