Production Philosophy
Rosa Rugosa is a kombucha produced by København Kombucha, the company co-founded by Louise Benkjær Limbach. It is built around the wild beach rose, taking its name from the Rosa rugosa species whose petals are infused into the beverage.[1]
Composition & Vinification
Rosa Rugosa is made with water, kombucha culture, sugar, tea, rose petals, hibiscus, and CO2, all from certified organic production.[1]
Rosa Rugosa Petals -- Floral Signature. The beverage is infused with Rosa rugosa petals sourced from a farm in Finland that specialises in growing wild beach roses.[1]
Hibiscus -- Colour and Acidity. Hibiscus is among the declared ingredients, contributing to the blend alongside the rose petals.[1]
