👋 Hello supporter, follower, reader and kombucha drinker,
We are back again with an update on our progress! 💪
This past weekend, 10th of May 2025, we hosted our first kombucha tasting with our friends and retailers at To Tsai. This was an opportunity for us to get to know more people interested in kombucha and to spread more kombucha knowledge to the people of Athens.
Many came in with questions on what makes kombucha beneficial for the gut, how kombucha is actually made and why should anyone drink it-- Others knew exactly what kombucha was and were eager to give us a try. The Greek spin on our flavors gained interest and curiosity to dive further into the health benefits of our flavors. For example, the Mountain Tea found in our Mountain Tea with Lemon and Ginger, has been used as a digestive support for decades (probably even longer) among the people in this part of the world. The tea would usually be enjoyed after a hearty meal or when discomfort within the digestive system would arise, making Mountain Tea (or Sideritis) a medicine, along with lemon and ginger, creating the ultimate trio 🌱🍋🫚
In the end, everyone had something different to say about each of our flavors and came out to a pretty close tie as to which bottle was more preferred. Our Fig brew is on the sweeter and earthier side while our Mountain tea brew is tangier with a bit of spice in the after taste-- both catering to different audiences and flavor preferences. We loved hearing people's feedback-- making it a joy to witness people's reactions and to share the beauty of kombucha!
A taster shared her thought: "The wild fig reminded me of summers spent in my childhood summer home..."
