The brand's probiotic drinks are available in varieties like Uplift, Restore and Flourish, each of which boasts a different functional benefit. While Uplift is cleansing and refreshing and shares the crisp taste of hibiscus, ginger and juniper berry, Unwind soothes with its unique combination of lavender, chamomile and colorful butterfly pea flower. At the base of these [fermented tea beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-tea-lemonade-kombucha), M Kombucha uses different combinations of black, white, green and yerba mate, and in the case of the calming Unwind variety, a decaffeinated black tea and green tea.
