Kombucha is a fermented tea known for its nutritional value and its ability to support a healthy gut microbiome. However, how kombucha is brewed and fermented matters. Home-brewed kombucha, while traditionally raw, can carry risks of contamination or over-fermentation when not prepared properly. Store-bought varieties can have their own drawbacks, including being under-fermented or containing added ingredients and undergoing processing methods that may diminish the natural nutrients and probiotics found in traditionally brewed kombucha. 

Flobucha brings together the best of both worlds. It combines traditional brewing methods and organic ingredients in a highly controlled environment to create a premium kombucha you can count on for quality, consistency and naturally occurring probiotics. 

Kombucha contains naturally occurring antioxidants, polyphenols and acetic acid. These compounds may help support the body’s natural defenses and promote a healthy balance of microorganisms. With a variety of delicious flavors to choose from, Flobucha makes it easy and enjoyable to add traditionally brewed, premium raw kombucha to your daily routine. 

Come taste the new limited-quantity seasonal options: Watermelon Lime Mint; Triple Rose, a blend of rosemary, rosebuds and rose petals with a twist of lime and ginger; GTL Heat, made with ginger, turmeric, lemon and cayenne; Cherry Lemon Ginger; and Blue Spirit, a blend of coconut water, ginger and blue spirulina. 

Flobucha sells its kombucha at its own taproom, at local health food stores and at farmers markets. It also offers a weekly subscription service and can deliver fresh Flobucha directly to your door. The Flobucha Taproom is a fun place to hang out, too. They host events, such as cacao ceremonies and healing circles with local practitioners. Join them on Thursdays in September from 4-6 p.m. for a free kombucha tasting and enjoy their seasonal Flobucha flavors.
