Komvida, a Spanish producer of fermented tea, has introduced a new functional kombucha variety called SuperCalm. This offering incorporates ashwagandha, a botanical extract commonly classified as an adaptogen and known for its calming properties.
Komvida positions its SuperCalm kombucha as the first of its kind within the European market. The beverage is characterized by a blackberry flavor and is manufactured in a small-scale, artisanal facility in a small town in Southern Spain.
Komvida boasts the development of SuperCalm as a direct response to consumer interest in functional foods and drinks that offer potential benefits for managing stress and enhancing overall well-being. The brand supports the need for this kombucha with market research on the prevalence of stress and the demand for such products.
