無糖康普茶? | Sugar free Kombucha?
了解康普茶與糖的真相
當談到康普茶時，很多人都會好奇其中是否含有糖，或者是否提供無糖選項。今天，Zestea想與大家分享糖與康普茶之間的關係。
When it comes to Kombucha, many people wonder if it contains sugar or if there's an option for sugar-free. Today, I'd like to share the relationship between sugar and Kombucha.
糖是什麼？
The concept of sugar糖是一個廣泛的概念，涵蓋多醣體（如蔬菜中的糖分）以及碳水化合物中的天然糖。全穀物與蔬菜有助於平衡血糖，而白米、白麵包等精緻碳水化合物則容易讓血糖快速升高。糖對人體至關重要，能分解為葡萄糖，成為身體與大腦的重要能量來源。
Sugar is a broad concept, encompassing polysaccharides (such as those found in vegetables) and natural sugars present in carbohydrates. Whole grains and vegetables help regulate blood sugar levels, while refined carbohydrates like white rice and white bread tend to cause rapid spikes. Sugar is vital for the human body, as it breaks down into glucose, providing essential energy for both the body and the brain.
為何人類偏愛甜味？
Sweetness, a Natural Human Preference
早在8萬年前，人類鮮少能品嘗到水果的甜味。當第一次嚐到成熟果實時，甜味與能量提升建立了強烈聯結。這段演化歷程，讓甜味成為人類的本能偏好，延續至今。
Around 80,000 years ago, humans rarely had access to the sweetness of fruits. When they first experienced the taste of ripe fruit, a strong connection between sweetness and energy was formed. This evolutionary process led to sweetness becoming an instinctive human preference that continues to this day.
正確認識糖，比單純拒絕糖分更重要
Understanding the right way to consume sugar
工業化讓糖變得唾手可得，也帶來過量攝取的健康問題。政府推動糖稅，學校停止販售含糖飲品，專家倡導「減糖」生活。但過度避免糖分，反而可能導致高熱量攝取（如用脂肪代替糖分），甚至拒絕富含天然好糖的健康食物（如水果）。因此，懂得正確選擇糖分的來源，比一味戒糖更為重要。
Industrialization made sugar easily accessible, but it also introduced health challenges associated with overconsumption. Governments began imposing sugar taxes, schools stopped selling sugary drinks, and experts promoted a “reduced sugar” lifestyle. However, excessive avoidance of sugar can sometimes backfire, leading to higher calorie intake (such as replacing sugar with fats) and rejecting healthy foods rich in natural sugars (like fruits). Therefore, understanding how to properly source and consume sugar is far more important than eliminating it completely.
糖與康普茶密不可分
Sugar and Kombucha are closely linked
在康普茶的釀造過程中，糖是不可或缺的養分來源。Zestea使用來自巴西的有機原蔗糖，富含礦物質與維生素，並在初期釀造時添加。隨著發酵進行，約90%的糖分會被菌種消耗。最終，每100毫升Zestea原味康普茶只含約4克糖，相較之下，鮮榨橙汁含糖約8克，碳酸汽水則達10.5克。
In the kombucha brewing process, sugar is an essential nutrient for the fermentation culture. Zestea uses organic raw cane sugar sourced from Brazil, rich in minerals and vitamins, added during the initial stages of fermentation. As fermentation progresses, approximately 90% of the sugar is consumed by the culture. In the end, each 100ml of Zestea Original Kombucha contains only about 4 grams of sugar — by comparison, the same amount of freshly squeezed orange juice contains around 8 grams, and carbonated sodas about 10.5 grams.
