Story
Courtney dreamed of opening a kombucha brewery with a tap room where she could teach classes on fermentation. In early 2014 she became founder and head brewer at Cultured Kombucha Co. when her desire to teach others how cultured foods affect their overall health and wellness came to fruition. An avid home-brewer of kombucha tea for many years, Courtney desired to share the health benefits reaped from kombucha tea.
Her background in Hospitality and Culinary Arts partnered with her nutritional studies blossomed into a beautiful fermentation business. Using the knowledge gained from past beverage experience, Courtney created a tasteful and approach kombucha tea. Using locally sourced ingredients when possible, Courtney's overall goal is to make an approachable, affordable, and accessible kombucha tea that encourages bodily nourishment.
