KeVita Master Brew kombucha has 76mg of caffeine per 15.2 oz bottle, per Caffeine Informer (source). That is 5mg per fluid ounce, and a full bottle lands close to an 8 oz cup of brewed coffee at 95mg. It would take about 5.3 bottles to reach the 400mg daily amount the FDA cites for healthy adults.

KeVita vs tea and coffee

Why this kombucha runs high

Kombucha is fermented tea, so some caffeine always survives into the bottle, but a standard serving from most brands lands around 4 to 15mg, as our kombucha caffeine guide breaks down. KeVita's Master Brew line is different because the ingredients list adds caffeine from green coffee bean extract on top of the black and green tea base, which is how a single bottle reaches 76mg, more than a cup and a half of brewed black tea.

The label matters here more than the category. If you picked up a Master Brew thinking kombucha is basically caffeine free, one bottle quietly delivers most of a coffee's worth.
