Let’s talk about sugar in kombucha — because it’s not what most people think!

Yes, kombucha starts off sweet. But that sugar isn’t for us — it’s food for the culture.

Yeast and bacteria living side by side, each doing their job — that’s why it’s called a symbiotic culture.

They balance each other out. If one goes too far without the other, the brew changes.

Let it ferment too long, and it becomes really sour.

At that point, some of the gentler probiotics can’t survive anymore — they’re not fans of super acidic environments.

That’s not a bad thing — just a different stage!

That’s why I pay attention and bottle at just the right time — when the kombucha is still full of life, flavor, and balance.

And when it goes a little longer? We turn it into something else entirely.

Those extra-aged batches become spiced kombucha vinegar — bold, layered, and very much alive in a different way!

There’s beauty in every stage. You just have to know when it’s ready. ✨

I’m not one to say we’re the best, but I do want to make kombucha that stands out and finds its people. ✨

Running a small business with a small team isn’t always easy—long days, a lot to juggle.

That’s why messages like this mean so much. They remind me why I keep going. Thank you for being here.

A lot of people think the jelly layer on top of kombucha is the SCOBY — but that’s just the pellicle.

The pellicle is made mostly by bacteria (like Acetobacter) that love oxygen and hang out at the surface.

It’s normal for it to form during fermentation — and honestly, it’s a good sign.

But the SCOBY is more than that. It’s the whole community of yeast and bacteria working together in the liquid and the pellicle.

Yeasts break down the sugar and turn it into alcohol and bubbles.

Then bacteria come in, turn that alcohol into acid, and build that jelly layer as a kind of byproduct. It’s a living system.

Every culture is a little different depending on your tea, setup, and environment.

That’s why kombucha never turns out exactly the same — and that’s part of what makes it interesting.

Been brewing for years, and this still amazes me every time. ✨

Before there was Boochamama, there was tea.

It’s how all this started — a pot of green tea, a curious mind, and a need to feel better.

It might sound basic, but it’s everything — the heart of the brew, the calm before the fizz, the reason your booch feels so good.

So on International Tea Day, I’m sending some love to the humble tea leaf— the tea that started it all, and the journey it’s taken us on — from kitchen experiments to bottled bubbly joy. ✨

It started as a little experiment—just figuring out what to do with all the extra starters we’ve been collecting.

I didn’t expect much… but it turned into something so bright, tangy, a little sweet, and layered with deep, complex flavor— that kind of magic only slow fermentation (and a lot of love) can bring.

As a chef, I’ve always believed in giving ingredients another life. We’re not chasing perfect zero waste, but we are trying—in small, thoughtful ways—to waste less and create more with care. To see the cycle and honor it.

Now that it’s summer (and seriously hot), I’ve been letting more starters go long and slow into vinegar as we gear up for the festive season. Still ultra small-batch. Still made with love and a whole lot of intention.

If you see it, don’t miss it. These vinegar bottles carry more than flavor—they carry a story. 💕

I always grab my lemongrass from because it’s just so fresh and packed with flavor! There’s something about small organic farms that really makes a difference—you can taste the love in every stalk. Can’t wait to use this in the next batch of Blue Solstice! 💙

Big love and congratulations to the team on creating such a peaceful, beautiful space!

It brings me so much joy to be able to share our kombucha with your community.

If you’re in for a class, you’ll find our bottles at the studio—something fizzy to enjoy after your flow. See you on the mat! 💜

One of the beautiful things about being small is getting to see the full circle.

Every bottle returned is a story we get to witness — cleaned, cared for, and given a second life.

It’s a slower, more mindful way to grow, and we’re grateful you’re part of it. 💜
