From Farm to Bottle: The Journey of Organic Kombucha

From lush, organic fields to the refreshing drink in your fridge, the journey of kombucha is a fascinating one. Organic kombucha is more than just a beverage; it’s a product of careful cultivation, precise brewing, and sustainable practices. 

Let’s explore how each bottle of this fizzy delight is made.

The Beginnings: Preparing Organic Ingredients

The journey of organic kombucha starts on the farm. The best kombucha uses organic ingredients, avoiding harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. This is not only better for the environment but also for your health. Organic green tea and oolong tea are the primary leaves used, grown in clean, healthy soils that help develop rich flavours and beneficial nutrients.

 

Once the tea leaves are ready, they are carefully harvested at the perfect time to ensure the best quality. After harvesting, the leaves are dried and processed, a crucial step that affects both flavour and quality. The processed tea leaves are then packaged and sent to kombucha breweries, ready for the next stage of their journey.

Transforming Tea to Kombucha

At the brewery, the transformation from tea to kombucha begins. The tea is brewed with hot water to extract its flavours and nutrients, then organic raw sugar is added. This sugar feeds the SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast), which will ferment the tea. The brewed tea and sugar mixture is poured into fermentation tanks, and the SCOBY is added.

This fermentation process takes about 28 days, during which the tea becomes fizzy and develops its distinct tangy flavour, turning the sugars into beneficial acids, vitamins, and probiotics.

Enhancing with Natural Flavours

After fermentation, natural flavours are added to enhance the taste and health benefits. Kombucha makers use organic fruits, herbs, and spices, sourced sustainably. Ingredients like ginger, turmeric, and lavender add extra antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, making the kombucha not only delicious but also even healthier.

The Final Steps: Bottling and Quality Control

The kombucha is then filtered and poured into glass bottles, which are better for the environment as they can be reused and recycled. The bottles are sealed to keep the kombucha fresh and fizzy, and labels are added, often printed with eco-friendly ink on recycled paper. Before the kombucha reaches you, it goes through rigorous quality control. Each batch is tested for health and safety standards, checking pH levels, taste, and carbonation. Once it passes these tests, it’s ready to be distributed.

Kombucha is then shipped to health food stores, markets, and homes across the country. Many kombucha companies, including ours, offer delivery services to get the freshest kombucha right to your door, ensuring you enjoy the best taste and maximum health benefits.
