Summer is officially here and we are here for the sunshine and warm temps!! Life has been different for us all these past few months. Collectively we are feeling the weight of the brokenness of the world and now more than ever we need to take the time to care for ourselves. We hope you have found home brewing kombucha a highlight of your quarantine. Something to look forward to— both the creative process and the pleasure of enjoying a cold glass of sweet and tangy kombucha. We all can benefit from this nourishing tonic that can help reduce anxiety and stress.
