What's the main difference between RTB Kombucha and Wolseley Kombucha?

Both are Winnipeg-based brands. RTB publishes 3.75g added sugar per 250ml can and a 24-day fermentation. Wolseley publishes a 6-week (42-day) fermentation and 95% organic ingredients, but doesn't publicly disclose specific sugar content on its main site. Wolseley has a much wider retail footprint (130+ retail partners plus Sobeys and Safeway) and a Wall Street taproom; RTB sells direct-to-consumer with free Winnipeg delivery on orders $40+.

Who ferments longer — RTB or Wolseley?

Wolseley ferments longer. Wolseley publishes a full 6-week (42-day) fermentation. RTB publishes 24 days. Longer fermentation generally means more residual acids and lower residual sugar — though the actual sugar number is what matters for the drinker, and RTB is the one that publishes a specific sugar count per can (3.75g per 250ml) where Wolseley does not.

Which has less sugar — RTB or Wolseley?

RTB publishes 3.75g added sugar per 250ml can. Wolseley markets itself as 'low sugar' and 'a great functional alternative to pop or fruit juice' but does not publicly disclose a specific gram count on its main site as of May 2026. If sugar transparency is the priority, RTB publishes the number; if you trust the 'low sugar' framing and want maximum Winnipeg availability, Wolseley is widely stocked.
