A healthy option to choose

By using organic honey, the brand also highlights the critical need to protect pollinators. With no organic honey currently produced in the UK due to pesticide use, ROBOT Kombucha supports ethical beekeeping abroad while advocating for sustainable farming practices at home.

Traditional colas are often linked to high sugar content and artificial sweeteners, posing risks to both health and the environment. Headquartered in London, ROBOT Kombucha breaks this cycle with a bold alternative—crafted from organic kombucha, organic honey, and hand-blended botanicals. This luxurious, gut-friendly cola delivers rich flavour with 90 per cent less sugar and sustainable packaging.

Known for their durability, corrosion resistance, and recyclability, aluminium cans are often lined with a protective coating to prevent the contents from reacting with the metal. The highly recyclable nature of aluminium allows cans to be melted down and reformed multiple times without losing quality, making them an environmentally friendly packaging choice.

As per the Can Makers Institute (CMI), every year approximately 9.7 billion drink cans are shipped in the UK, with over 64 billion filled across Europe. These cans are crafted from either aluminium or steel, utilizing cutting-edge engineering and advanced technology.

About ROBOT Kombucha

ROBOT Kombucha is just the start. Net Zero Foods is set to expand the ROBOT brand with new flavors and products, all driven by a commitment to health, craftsmanship, and sustainability. The name "ROBOT" embodies the fusion of technology and tradition, with artificial intelligence playing a key role in refining both the recipe and branding—symbolizing the innovative spirit behind every can.

“We wanted to reinvent cola as a drink that not only tastes great, and as familiar as the most drank drink on the planet – but could also be indulgent, healthy, high quality and complex – not only that, but also supports gut-health and global sustainability. ROBOT Kombucha bridges the gap between the classic flavour of cola and the wellness benefits of kombucha,” said Pascal Du Bois, Brand Director at Net Zero Foods.

ROBOT Kombucha boasts a flavour profile that is sweet, tangy, and spiced, with hints of caramel, citrus, and botanicals. Its refined taste pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from aged cheeses to rich dark chocolate desserts.

How is ROBOT Kombucha built

ROBOT Kombucha is built on a carefully cultivated Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast (SCOBY), which ferments premium organic teas into a naturally effervescent, probiotic-rich base. This innovative process breaks down all sugars, resulting in a tangy yet subtly sweet flavor with absolutely no refined sugars. Uniquely, the team at Net Zero has developed a probiotic culture that naturally retains a hint of sweetness—without any sugar.
