Healthy gut.
Fermented foods have been around for centuries, but now more than ever, they’re essential. KOMBU aims to bring the benefits of fermented foods to more people, helping everyone include these nutritious options in their diet. With the growing importance of gut health and the microbiome, we hope to contribute to healthier and happier lives for all.

Bubbling with
Kombucha’s origin stretches back about 2200 years ago having been consumed for medicinal purposes to promote health. It has also been called “The Tea of Immortality” by those who brewed it. Today, kombucha is known to support a balanced microbiome that is linked to optimal well-being.
Tea
Tea - the backbone of kombucha! Tea is rich in beneficial compounds like antioxidants and polyphenols, which are known for their immune boosting, anti-inflammatory, digestive health, and mental well-being benefits.
Antioxidants
While commercial kombucha does contain these antioxidants, a recent study from researchers at Ashbury University found homemade brews had an average of TWICE the total antioxidants of store-bought booch.
Commercial Brews
Additionally, any commercial kombucha stored at room temperature is either pasteurized or sterilized in some way. And these typically have probiotics added back in. Some commercial brews are even made with a kombucha base that's made "from concentrate".

On the other hand, homebrewed kombucha has not been subjected to pasteurization, sterile filtration, or chemical sterilization.
That's why brewing your booch IS the best.
Better for the planet
It's no surprise that homebrewed kombucha has a lower carbon footprint compared to commercially produced kombucha.
-
This is due to significantly reduced transportation and distribution emissions. Additionally, it avoids the energy use and emissions associated with factory production.
-
Homebrewers also have greater control over ingredients, allowing them to select sustainably sourced options and support responsible farming practices.
Last but not least, another big benefit is reducing single-use packaging waste by utilizing reusable glass bottles.
