WHY MAKE YOUR OWN KOMBUCHA

This DIY approach not only guarantees that your kombucha is free from unnecessary additives or preservatives, but it also allows you to experiment with a wide range of flavours.
Whether you prefer fruity infusions, herbal blends or spicy undertones, you can craft unique kombucha blends that suit your palate.
Additionally, the brewing process itself is rewarding and educational, giving you insights into fermentation while providing a satisfying sense of accomplishment with each batch you create.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The kombucha-brewing workshop is curated to provide you with all the knowledge and skills needed to brew this delightful drink right at home. Here’s what you can expect to learn at the workshop:
1. STEP-BY-STEP BREWING PROCESS: You'll receive a comprehensive guide to the entire fermentation process. This includes everything from brewing the tea base and adding the sugar, to fermenting with the SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast), and finally bottling your kombucha.
The detailed instructions ensure you understand each phase, so you can replicate the process with confidence.
2. FLAVOUR CREATION: Dive into the exciting world of flavour experimentation. Discover how to infuse your kombucha with a variety of fruits, herbs and spices.
Whether you’re interested in vibrant citrus notes, aromatic herbs or exotic spices, you’ll learn how to create personalised and unique flavour profiles that cater to your taste preferences.
3. LIVE CULTURE: As part of the workshop, you’ll receive your very own live culture, known as SCOBY. This essential component will serve as the starter for your brewing adventures, allowing you to begin your kombucha-making journey immediately.
The fermentation process typically spans 7 to 10 days, during which, the kombucha develops its characteristic tangy flavour and effervescence. After brewing, you can store it in the refrigerator, where it will remain fresh and flavourful for up to three months.
