Can kombucha be made with monk fruit instead of sugar?

It can be tested, but fermentation sugar and final sweetness should be treated separately. The tea base, culture, pH, acidity, Brix and storage target all matter.

Should the sweetener be added before or after fermentation?

That depends on the process goal. Some projects need fermentable sugar first and sweetness adjustment after fermentation. A small matrix is safer than one direct replacement.

Can stevia or allulose be used in fermented tea?

They can be considered where the target market and formula allow them, but they should be tested for acid balance, aftertaste, body, Brix and label fit.

What should buyers send before kombucha samples?

Send target market, product type, tea base, packaging specification, estimated quantity, required certificates/documents and whether samples are needed.
