What Is Kombucha?

Kombucha is a lightly sparkling, fermented tea made from simple ingredients—tea, sugar, and a living culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). Its flavor is bright, slightly tangy, and naturally effervescent, a refreshing alternative to sugary drinks.

No one really knows exactly where kombucha came from, it’s the original mystery drink. References suggest it dates back to the Xin Dynasty in China (221–206 BCE), but over centuries, it traveled across Asia and Europe, evolving with every culture while keeping its distinctive, lively character.

At Wild Brewing Co, we honor this rich tradition while giving it our own spin. Each batch is brewed slowly and carefully, letting the flavors develop naturally. Light, refreshing, and full of character, our kombucha is alive, vibrant, and meant to be enjoyed—just as it has been for thousands of years.

How is it made?
Kombucha is prepared by first steeping tea in filtered water. After adding sugar, the tea must cool to room temperature before the SCOBY is introduced. Once the SCOBY has been added to the tea, fermentation runs for about 14-21 days. At this point the SCOBY is removed and depending on what flavour we are crafting, fruits, herbs, and even vegetables will be added!

Health Benefits
Kombucha is a naturally fermented tea that supports wellness from the inside out. It starts in the gut, where trillions of beneficial bacteria help regulate digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function because in fact, much of your immune system is closely connected to your gut. Because kombucha contains live cultures, organic acids, and antioxidants from tea, it helps support a balanced microbiome, which in turn supports overall wellbeing. When your gut is thriving, your body is better equipped to function at its best, it’s all connected!
