K ombucha is the superfood of beverages. It is probiotic, like yogurt, and is loaded with antioxidants. It detoxifies the liver and blood, it provides a crash-proof energy boost, it focuses the mind, it settles digestion, and it streamlines a wide variety of inefficiencies in the body. All of this in a delicious beverage without the high amounts of caffeine and sugar that jam-pack the drink shelf.

As the owners of Kombucha Brooklyn (KBBK), a business whose primary objective is to nourish our world community with delicious kombucha brews, we get to mingle with all sorts of buch devotees. At gatherings that we call buch brigades, we open the doors to the KBBK Learning Center so kombuchasseurs can come drink special in-house kombucha craft brews, show off their own home brews, and share the happiness and good health that kombucha brings. Yoginis, robot builders, farmers, doctors, skateboarders, construction workers, foodies, retirees, kids, and even dogs (!) show up to these events out of a passion for the beverage. One thing we have learned is that whether you are a fully invested kombuchasseur whose buch is an essential part of everyday life or you just like to grab a bottle every now and again after a hard workout, people who drink kombucha do it because it makes their lives better. Every kombucha drinker has his or her own story to tell. Here are ours.
