From a Small Garage in Tofino
Founded 2017 while I was on maternity leave, we set out to create kombucha people genuinely enjoy drinking. Today, we still craft refreshing, delicious kombucha the whole family can enjoy, including both our refrigerated Original Kombucha and our new shelf-stable Probiotic Kombucha.
Our Kombucha is made with organic ingredients and lightly sweetened with cane sugar and fruit juice for a smooth, balanced taste, free from stevia, erythritol, and sugar substitutes.
Part of that decision is personal. My husband experiences digestive discomfort from many sugar substitutes, and I wanted to create something our whole family could enjoy together, not just a functional diet beverage.
Our mission is simple: make everyday gut wellness easy, delicious, and approachable.
Our new Probiotic Kombucha is shelf-stable, adventure-ready, and designed to fit effortlessly into everyday life.
Let our kombucha Light Up Your Day!
Founder's Story
Brewing kombucha started as an experiment, grew into a hobby, became an art form, and is now a passion that I want to share. Most people that stop by my house end up leaving with a mason jar and a kombucha SCOBY or some of my wild sourdough starter. I am fascinated with the fermentation process, especially when it comes to kombucha and bread. It never ceases to amaze me how a few simple ingredients can transform into something so nutritious and delicious.
Tofino and kombucha are a natural pairing, our temperate climate with mild winters and cool summers provides the kombucha culture with consistent year-round brewing conditions. I love the fresh, humid, and salty air of Tofino and so does my kombucha culture!
Some of my favourite first memories of Tofino are from my childhood when my family would make the long trip across Vancouver Island to visit my Grandma Bev, who lived in Tofino. I loved waking up in the morning to the sound of the fog horn echoing from the Lenard Island Lighthouse. The fog horn is now deactivated, but I still enjoying seeing the lighthouse every time I walk the beach or paddle out for a surf at Cox Bay.
