The rawest, raddest, baddest real deal kombucha sent directly to your door anywhere in the UK.  People love our Kombucha Delivery Boxes because they get to experience different brands, styles, and flavours each month.

All Killer, No Filler Guarantee

This is us letting you know that you won't be trying any "kombuchas" you can pick up in the supermarket at one of our tasting sessions.  I obviously use the word loosely when it comes to what's being served up in supermarkets as "kombucha".  My promise to you is that you'll be trying kombuchas you've never experienced before, and you'll definitely taste and feel the difference afterwards.

"Went to a Kombucha Tasting Session on Sat 4th of May 2024 in Otley. Had a great time, tried lots of interesting Kombucha and some Kefir and cold brewed coffee. Kevin knows his stuff and is clearly passionate about making healthy, great tasting drinks available and in a sustainable way. It’s absolutely the future and i will definitely be visiting more often! Thanks Kombucha Kevin! 😁"

"We really enjoyed this tasting event. Kev the owner is very friendly and welcoming, and passionate about the products he sells. The tasting allows you to explore the range of different kombuchas, which he explains very well. There is no hard sell and it was a very pleasant way to spend 90 minutes. Everyone who came bought a few items, just because we wanted to try things at home and we will definitely return to fill our fridge. This event is well worth trying, as it’s low key and fun and a relaxed atmosphere, but it’s well worth popping into the shop too to try something different, that’s also good for you!"

During the tasting session you'll get to try 8 different kombuchas while learning a little bit about gut health and what you can do to improve yours.

Our Story

Conscious Living

At the start of 2023 I realised that my life was on auto-pilot and I was missing out on my little girl grow up.

 

Outside looking in, I had everything that is meant to make you happy.

 

Good job, house, car, family, partner, daughter, friends, Merlin Platinum Annual Pass.

 

And yet, I was on autopilot going from one day to the next.  I was existing, not living.

 

It was at that moment I decided I was not going to be that person on their death bed who wished they did things differently.

 

So I made the change.

 

I stopped drinking alcohol, focused on my gut health, and decided to become a better version of myself.  And most importantly, a role model for my little girl.

 

It's a journey, but it's made a lot easier with banging kombuchas and non-alcoholic craft beers to drink along the way.

Doesn't Kombucha taste of underpants?

I'm not going to lie, there's some home brew kombuchas I've tried that smell and taste like 2 week old underpants.

 

However, not all kombucha is made equal and what's being created now is popping up in michelin star restaraunts as great wine alternatives.

 

A whole new world of discovery awaits you when you come to one of Kombucha Tasting Sessions.

What is there to do in Otley if we make a day of it?
