We’ve crafted our flavours to best showcase our unique ingredients, including several wild plants that we harvest ourselves (staghorn sumac cones, eastern white cedar fronds, candy, swiss and spear mints, and young spring spruce tips).
All of our kombucha starts with a custom blend of loose leaf organic green and black teas, organic cane sugar, and our own live kombucha culture (sometimes called a SCOBY).
We precisely ferment each batch, then flavour with high-quality whole fruits and botanicals blended directly into the kombucha.
Once flavoured, we ferment the mixture a second time to ensure a perfect sippable balance in every bottle.
This method delivers intensely delicious and nutrient rich buch on a completely different level than kombuchas flavoured with concentrates, juices, tea blends, or “natural” flavours.
Lastly, we filter and lightly carbonate, leaving behind living beneficial probiotic and prebiotic yeasts and bacterias in every bottle.
We believe that lowering our environmental impact and supporting other organizations in our community are two of the most important things we can do as a small business, not just for our community but for the world, and we built our business with those values in mind!
We brew and bottle by hand, without energy-intensive equipment and in a shared co-operative workspace, The Kitchen Collective!
All of our ingredients are sourced as locally and organically as possible, with over 85% of the produce and botanicals we use for flavouring being grown pesticide-free, bought directly from the farmer, or foraged by us!
Our base teas and cane sugar are fair-trade, organic, and sourced from member-owned co-operatives (Camino in Peru and Nepal Tea Collective in Nepal).
All of our products come in glass bottles with either a $1 or $5 deposit, so that customers can participate in our sustainable efforts! Every bottled returned is sanitized, refilled, and put back in circulation. As long as bottles are returned or recycled correctly, there is NO source of garbage in our packaging!
