Kombucha Consumer Flavor Study

Calling for Submissions! Kombucha Flavor Preference Study

Would you like your booch involved in a consumer preference study? This study aims to understand the correlation between chemical composition of kombucha and the perception of flavor. DraughtLab and Metropolitan State University of Denver have teamed up to analyze commercial kombucha samples and run consumer sensory tests at KKon 2023.
In order to participate you will need to send (2) packages of at least 12 oz cold to MSU Denver and submit samples for Kombucha Kup 2023
You will receive a report of a few chemical parameters, flavor characteristics, and consumer liking on your samples once the study is complete. We hope the information learned from the study will help kombucha producers better understand what kombucha flavors consumers prefer and how chemical composition correlates with sensory perception.

Taste with us at KKON 2023

We want your feedback! Stop by Draughtlab and MSU Denver booth throughout the conference to participate in the Kombucha Flavor Preference Study. There will be blind kombucha samples to taste followed by a short survey. Samples will be rotated approximately every two hours so feel free to return multiple times throughout the conference. We hope the information learned from the study will help kombucha producers better understand what kombucha flavors consumers prefer and how chemical composition correlates with sensory perception. We couldn’t do this work without the community so we hope to see you all there.
