GT’s

GT’s Pineapple Tepache earns a 3 out of 5 green leaves rating on our platform dedicated to healthier food choices. This fermented beverage boasts a blend of kombucha culture, black and green tea, organic cane sugar, pineapple juice, ginger juice, cinnamon, turmeric juice, habanero, and an endearing claim of “100% pure love.” The product prides itself on its organic ingredients, yet it does not fully commit to an all-organic lineup, resulting in a deduction in its overall score.

The presence of cane sugar, which is an added sweetener, further impacts the product’s standing on our scale. Despite being organically sourced, the inclusion of cane sugar is a point of concern, as we aim to highlight products that minimize or exclude added sugars. This choice aligns with our mission to offer cleaner food options that prioritize health. The product also falls short of ensuring a non-GMO status, which is another critical factor in our evaluation process.

GT’s Pineapple Tepache embodies a middle ground in the vast market of food products. While it does incorporate a range of organic ingredients, its failure to be fully organic and its inclusion of added sugars detract from its potential. Moreover, its non-GMO status is not guaranteed, which is a significant aspect for consumers seeking the purest food options available.

This product presents an option for those interested in fermented beverages with a nod to healthier ingredients but does not fully align with the highest standards of clean eating that our website promotes. The rating reflects the product’s position as neither a frontrunner in healthfulness nor a poor choice, but rather an average selection within the spectrum of available food items. Customers looking for a moderately healthy kombucha with organic elements may consider GT’s Pineapple Tepache, keeping in mind the product’s limitations regarding organic certification, added sugars, and GMO ingredients.
