The fact that something is alcohol-free means that it must contain no more than 0.5% alcohol. This amount is also referred to as residual alcohol and is physically insignificant for most people. ARENSBAK produces non-alcoholic products.
We strive to achieve a minimal alcohol content, but there is a very small amount of residual alcohol in ARENSBAK, which originates from our fermentation. But this is no more than 0.5%.
Kombucha is a more than 2000-year-old Chinese recipe. Kombucha was originally a mouthwatering healthy drink, but in recent years it has become a popular soft drink in many flavours.
We use the recipe from Kombucha in the production of ARENSBAK. Read more about Kombucha here.
In collaboration with one of Europe's leading tea sommeliers, Alexis Kaae, we have carried out a thorough research to find the teas that add the best flavours and notes to our products. Read more about the teas we use in ARENSBAK.

ARENSBAK uses a fermentation on the basis of Kombucha, which is a natural process that doesn’t produce much alcohol. The alcohol that is produced is transformed into organic acids resulting in a profile with an amazing fermented flavour. Our expertise in brewing the perfect Kombucha base ensures that ARENSBAK stays below a 0.5% alcohol content, after which ARENSBAK is pasteurised to maintain quality over time.
All ARENSBAK drinks are vegan friendly.
