So, what was the difference in taste? Honestly, not much. Again, not sure if this has to do with the expiration date or the alcohol level (which is still very low, btw). I’ve gotten many bottles that were on the flat side and missing those bubbles that kombucha is supposed to have. The classic had much more carbonation while the enlightened was almost flat.
The glass on the left is classic and on the right enlightened. This might have just been the shipment the store had, or maybe the alcohol gives it a longer shelf life, I don’t know. This is sort of hard to see in the picture, but the classic doesn’t expire until May while the enlightened expires next week. As you can see, the classic bottle is brown and the enlightened is clear. Actually, not true, they had them both in cranberry and green, but I really don’t like either of those, so strawberry it was. Strawberry is not my favorite flavor but it was the only one that they had both classic and enlightened. I decided to buy both of them, so I could do a comparison. The enlightened formula is available everywhere but I’ve only seen the classic flavors at one store (Natural Foods Warehouse in Johns Creek for those in the area). I’m not sure why, but GT’s decided that they would sell the new enlightened flavors but also bring back the old formula, but only sell it to those over 21. After a while, it came back (though not my favorite raspberry flavor for some reason), re-branded as enlightened. It got pulled because the fermentation of the tea was deemed to have caused too high of an alcohol level for a normal non-alcoholic drink. I distinctly remember trying on my wedding dress and going to Whole Foods after and going up to customer service and asking them where the kombucha was because it was not on the shelf.
I'm curious if anyone else out there has had issues with alcohol and drug screening while consuming this particular brand of kombucha or any other brands for that matter.If you’re a kombucha fan, you may remember a couple of years ago, they took all the GT’s brand off the shelves. I do not consume alcoholic beverages whatsoever so this is quite alarming. I basically need them to provide me documentation in support of their drinking causing the positive test. The representative said they are preparing a written response to my inquiry about the alcohol content of their drinks. I reached out to GT's customer service via e-mail earlier today and I received a phone call back fairly quickly in which the GT's representative requested additional information as to which blend/flavor I drank and how soon it was consumed before I tested. Today, I was just informed of my first and only positive test which occurred the same day I happened to drink a different brand kombucha called GT's (I normally drink Kevita). I've been undergoing random drug and alcohol testing for the past 14 months and have been a routine kombucha drinker since long before and during the course of these random tests.
