Kimchi, kefir … we're waking up to the health benefits of fermented foods. Kombucha is a variety of fermented probiotic tea and we love the sprightly, bold taste of the line from local company Lupa's Kitchen. Our favorite flavor is the ginger turmeric and, while the bottled variety is delicious, even fresher and fizzier is Lupa's on tap. Grab a growler and fill up. $4.99/12-ounce bottle, $10/growler fill (plus initial $5 cost for bottle). Nuts 'N Berries, 4274 Peachtree Road N.E, Atlanta. 404-254-0330, nutsnberries.com .
