Kombukarious Kombucha & Kefir Water

Early in 2017, Kari visited a friend’s restaurant in Cape Town. Loving their space, their hearts and their vision, Kari was inspired to join their path in some way. When they identified a kombucha gap in the restaurant’s product range, Kari realised that this was her journey.

Kombucha is a fermented tea drink that also tastes good. In many countries, drinking kombucha is a time-honoured tradition with proven nutritional components and long lasting health benefits.

Kombucha is made by adding yeast and a culture of bacteria to a mixture of black or green tea, sugar, and sometimes additional flavourings or fruit juice. After the tea is blended with sugar, it becomes kombucha with the help of something called a SCOBY, or Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast. These live bacteria sets the stage for a fermentation process, which is what gives kombucha its slight effervescence and tart-and-tangy taste.

With a degree in horticulture and a passion for growing things, brewing this amazing, living, versatile tea quickly became a new passion. Kari converted her kitchen and store-room into a brewery as word spread and the local demand grew.
