MOMO Kombucha has launched its latest seasonal collaboration with premium produce specialist Natoora: Carmelo’s Blood Orange Kombucha, a limited‑edition spring release crafted using Sicilian Moro blood oranges from renowned grower Carmelo.

The new variant rolls out from March 2026 (RRP from £4.50/330ml) and will be available via MOMO, Ocado, Natoora, Selfridges, GAIL’s Bakeries, Planet Organic, Zapp and Whole Foods Market.

The New Covent Garden Market‑based brewery — founded by husband‑and‑wife team Josh and Lisa Puddle — continues to build its reputation for small‑batch, raw and unfiltered kombucha brewed using traditional methods. This latest seasonal expression captures the vivid citrus character and deep berry‑like sweetness of Carmelo’s Moro blood oranges, grown in Sicily where dramatic day‑night temperature swings intensify colour and flavour.

MOMO blends the fruit with its signature kombucha base — organic tea, a touch of raw cane sugar, and subtle notes of hibiscus and elderflower — to create a bright, zingy and aromatic profile that reflects the peak of the blood orange season.

The partnership builds on a series of seasonal MOMO x Natoora releases, including Forced Rhubarb Kombucha, Green Mandarin Kombucha (also using Carmelo’s fruit), Passion Fruit Kombucha and Watermelon Kombucha. Each edition champions exceptional, in‑season produce and MOMO’s commitment to slow, craft fermentation.

Co‑founder Josh Puddle said: “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.”

With demand for premium, provenance‑led soft drinks continuing to rise, MOMO’s latest seasonal release positions the brand firmly at the intersection of craft fermentation and exceptional fresh produce.
