Act Naturally started as a homage to fermentation — the microorganisms, the process, the patience. What it became is a drink that tastes like the Norwegian coastline smells. Kombucha forms the base, then gooseberry and peach bring fruit without sweetness. Oolong adds a tea-like structure. Norwegian sea salt finishes each sip with a mineral edge that keeps you reaching back. Christian and Alexander Jansen ferment each component separately before blending. Close to a dry white wine in how it sits on the table. Best with food that has a bit of salt and fat.

Kombucha base with individually fermented gooseberry, oolong tea infusion, peach, toasted oakwood, lemon, and Norwegian sea salt. Pichia kluyveri yeast, under 0.5% ABV. Blended, lightly carbonated, bottled. No dealcoholisation. No artificial additives. Pasteurised. Vegan.

Serve chilled, around 8°C. Put it in the fridge for 30 minutes before opening. Already cold? Take it out and wait 5 minutes — the dry coastal character opens up with a touch of warmth.

Pour into a wide glass. No decanting needed.
