Kombucha
Kombucha is a fermented tea that is rich in probiotics, naturally occurring organic acids, vitamin b, polyphenols, and enzymes. These components contribute to its unique tangy flavor and health advantages.
All of our flavors have a base of either Rooibos, Green or Black Tea. Our caffeine free flavors (Roaring Pineapple and Watermelon Bloom ) are made using Rooibos tea, whereas our other flavors are made with Green and Black tea.
Our flavors typically contain 15mg of caffeine, which is equivalent to a 1/3 cup of tea. However, we also offer two caffeine-free options, Roaring Pineapple and Watermelon Bloom, and one more highly caffeinated option, Go Go Grapefruit, which contains 150mg of caffeine.
We use unique scientific tools to closely monitor and understand the microorganisms in our kombucha culture. This enables us to have precise control over the entire fermentation process, including aspects such as glucose content, alcohol levels, acidity, and mouthfeel, all of which contribute to a lighter and more effervescent finished product.
We currently offer two caffeine free flavors: Roaring Pineapple, Watermelon Bloom.
Rowdy Mermaid has one of the lowest sugar kombucha products on the market with <10g per 12 oz can.
Our Kombucha is not pasteurized and should remain refrigerated.
In 2019, Rowdy Mermaid made the unique decision to move 100% to cans in order to remain at the forefront of environmental sustainability and to remain true to our Healthy Systems philosophy. Cans are infinitely recyclable and much lighter, resulting in the use of lighter packaging materials which saves fossil fuels during transportation. Moreover, cans offer protection to the living microorganisms in our products by shielding them from harmful UV light.
Our cans are lined so that kombucha never comes in contact with the aluminum. We use a BPA-Non Intent (BPA-NI) liner made by Ball Corporation which is the highest standard in terms of avoiding BPA in plastic. BPA-Ni is compliant with California Proposition 65 requirements.
We ship all of our products with 90+ days of shelf life.
If a can is unopened on the counter, you should have up to 4 hours before you'll notice any flavor change. You may notice some differences in flavor after that, and you will experience a stronger change in flavor after 48 hours if unrefrigerated. If a can is left open and put in the refrigerator, it will go flat within a few hours but the flavors will change less over time. The alcohol content will not change if left unrefrigerated for up to 48 hours. We always recommend drinking Rowdy chilled for maximum flavor.
All Rowdy Mermaid products are craft fermented using seasonal teas and botanicals and some fluctuation is to be expected. However, if you feel the flavor is outside the normal range of fluctuation please forward your feedback to info@rowdymermaid.com. Please include the place of purchase, the flavor and the best by date (located on the bottom of the can) so that we can perform internal research.
Sparkling Tonic
No! Our Sparkling Tonic with Adaptogens is more like a flavored sparkling with benefits harnessing the immunity-optimizing power of Reishi and Lions Mane mushrooms.
Adaptogens are plants, herbs and mushrooms that help your body combat stress, whether physical or mental. They strengthen the immune system, bring your body back into balance and enhance overall well-being.
They literally adapt to what your body needs, helping to stabilize your body’s existing cortisol levels and regulate their production. Essentially, they help teach your body how to reach equilibrium again. They don’t take away the stress response, but they re-calibrate your cortisol levels to better support your body in a way that mimics your true biological needs.
Sparkling Tonic with Adaptogens are primatily crafted with 200mg Reishi mushrooms for immunity or Lion’s Mane mushrooms for clarity. Some flavors also include Ashwagandha and Holy Basil. Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub that grows in India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. It’s been used for thousands of years in Ayurveda, and recent studies show a significant drop in mental stress when taken consistently. Holy Basil is another calming adaptogen native to southeast Asia. Holy Basil is thought to have anti-depressant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Deemed the king of mushrooms, Reishi has been a long-time staple in Eastern medicine. One of the most important benefits of Reishi mushroom is that it can support your immune system by activating helper T-cells which alert the body to infection.
Lion’s Mane are large, white, shaggy mushrooms that resemble a lion’s mane as they grow. One of the most important benefits of Lion’s Mane is its ability to boost overall cognitive health by supporting memory, focus, and concentration.
Each flavor contains either 200mg Organic Reishi or Lion's Mane Mushroom extract per serving, which is the recommended daily dose for stimulation of the immune system.
No, there is zero mushroom taste! Rowdy Mermaid uses only tasteless and odorless GRAS-certified beta-glucans in our tonic.
Beta-glucans are types of fiber found in the cells of certain fungi, like Lion’s Mane and Reishi mushrooms. Rowdy Mermaid uses GRAS-certified Lion’s Mane and Reishi mushroom beta-glucans as a hero ingredient in our Sparkling Tonic with Adaptogens beverages to modulate cognition and stimulate the immune system.
Yes, please keep them refrigerated and serve chilled.
There is no caffeine in Blackberry Ashwagandha, Strawberry Holy Basil or Asian Pear Elderflower however there are trace amounts of caffeine in the Yuzu Matcha, which comes naturally from the use of Organic Green Tea as an ingredient.
Our Sparkling Tonic is low in sugar with 4-6 grams of sugar per 12oz can.
good mood soda
It is a low-sugar, low-calorie, functional soda that uses 200mg of ashwagandha extract to relieve stress and support a good mood.
While other functional sodas may focus solely on digestive health, good mood soda is addressing mental health. This is achieved through the use of 200mg of ashwagandha, a natural adaptogenic herb known for its stress-relieving and mood-boosting benefits.
Ashwagandha has been clinically proven to reduce stress, enhance quality of sleep, enhance memory and cognition, increase endurance and strength, and improve sexual function in both men and women.
Published clinical studies show a dose of 125mg once per day significantly reduces experiential and biochemical indicators of stress without adverse effects. Based on this science, good mood soda was designed to have 200mg per serving to provide the stress relieving properties in a delicious and convenient way.
We use a clinically-studied dose of the most studied Ashwagandha in the world (KSM-66®). KSM-66 is a highly concentrated root- only Ashwagandha extract that is standardized to contain a high concentration of the active compounds known as withanolides. Compared to other types of Ashwagandha, KSM-66 is considered to be one of the most potent and bioavailable forms of the herb on the market and has been clinically shown to reduce stress and support healthy cortisol levels.
Nope! All flavors of good mood soda are caffeine free!
