Josh and Lisa Puddle, the husband-and-wife duo behind MOMO Kombucha (www.momo-kombucha.com), create Great Taste Award winning kombucha using traditional methods in their South London brewery. March 2026 sees the New Covent Garden Market-based brewery launch the seasonal, limited edition Carmelo’s Blood Orange Kombucha (RRP from £4.50 per 330ml glass bottle) in collaboration with Natoora (www.natoora.com). Available from MOMO, Ocado, Natoora, Selfridge’s, GAIL’s Bakeries, Planet Organic, Zapp and Whole Foods Market.
MOMO’s spring seasonal collaboration with Natoora is back. Using renowned farmer, Carmelo’s vibrantly coloured Moro Blood Oranges, which burst with bright citrus acidity and deep berry-like sweetness. Grown in Sicily, these blood oranges thrive when the gap between day and night temperatures is at its most extreme. MOMO has captured this moment in their limited edition kombucha, blending Carmelo’s exceptional harvest with their raw and unfiltered kombucha. A sturdy base of tea, a touch of raw cane sugar, alongside a hint of hibiscus and elderflower to round out the bright and zingy flavours. With a shared commitment to quality and artistry, Natoora and MOMO are natural partners. Their seasonal collaborations to date include February’s fan favourite Forced Rhubarb Kombucha, their winter Green Mandarin Kombucha, also made using Carmelo’s exceptional produce, September’s tropical Pasion Fruit Kombucha, and their juicy summer Watermelon Kombucha.
Josh Puddle, co-f
ounder of MOMO Kombucha says, “We’re thrilled to partner with Natoora for another annual seasonal and are grateful to them for introducing us to Carmelo and his incredibly delicious Moro Blood Oranges. Visiting Carmelo’s beautiful Blood Orange Grove in Sicily last year was a true highlight since starting the business. His passion and dedication to quality resonate with everything we’re doing at MOMO. Our brewers have done an exceptional job to balance the bright citrus acidity and deep berry-like sweetness from the oranges with our kombucha.”
About Carmelo’s Blood Oranges
Orange-flecked to ruby-red to violet, Carmelo’s vibrantly coloured Moro Blood Oranges are the outcome of his years or experience, and the specifics of the Sicilian climate. When the gap in day-to-night temperatures experienced in Carmelo’s groves is at its most extreme, these fruits are at their peak. At this moment, the fluctuations encourage the production of anthocyanin – this is what gives them their rich hue and berry-like sweetness that balances out their bright citrus acidity.
