How much caffeine is in Cascara Coffee Cherry Kombucha?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 8 mg of caffeine. For comparison, a standard 8 oz cup of brewed drip coffee contains around 95 mg. Actual content varies with dose, water temperature, and contact time.

What temperature should I use for Cascara Coffee Cherry Kombucha?

Target 25°C (77°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Cascara Coffee Cherry Kombucha be extracted?

Extract for 7-10 days using F1 Fermentation Jar, at a ratio of 50ml starter per Liter, prepared at Dried Cascara. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Cascara Coffee Cherry Kombucha taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid Cascara Coffee Cherry Kombucha?

Check acidity, residual sugar, alcohol-by-fermentation risk, and food-safety controls in homemade versions. Use individualized guidance for pregnancy, medication interactions, allergies, reflux, or other health concerns. Do not use a beverage as a replacement for prescribed care; preparation strength can change exposure. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.

That is 8 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 3.3 mg per 100 ml. The scale above ranks whole servings, and servings differ in size, so a larger drink can sit further right while being weaker cup for cup.
