Why Kombucha Bros? The Process…
PURE AND SIMPLE.
Kombucha Bros is New Zealand’s straight‑talking kombucha brand, brewing real‑tea ferments for everyday drinking. Our mission is to make better‑for‑you bubbles that are honest, delicious, and built for modern Kiwi life—no wellness waffle, just clean refreshment you actually want to crush. We brew with real tea, time, and balance to deliver bright flavours with restrained acidity, a crisp finish, and low sugar that never sacrifices taste. Transparent ingredients, disciplined process control, and consistent quality mean choosing better doesn’t feel like a trade‑off—it feels like the obvious choice. We bridge soda’s satisfying fizz with the craft of fermentation, creating a credible alternative to mainstream soft drinks and alcohol. We show up as a partner brand for retailers, cafés, and distributors. Kombucha Bros proves better can be simple: honest ingredients, disciplined brewing, and a playful brand that invites everyone in—so choosing better feels effortless, every day, for every Kiwi.
Our style starts with tea first; real botanicals and 100% real fruit notes complement, never camouflage. Naturally fermented, carefully conditioned, and tightly specified, every batch is tested for quality, traceability, and compliant low‑alcohol outcomes. Carbonation is calibrated for food, fitness, and social moments, delivering a satisfying fizz without the bloat. Labels you can read, pronounce, and trust reinforce our promise: what’s on the can is what’s in the can.
Our identity is approachable, cheeky, and inclusive—“Bros” means mateship, not macho. We’re Kiwi to the core: practical, optimistic, and community‑minded. The design is stripped‑back and modern, built to punch on shelf and feel at home in hand. Our voice is plain English—evidence over hype, fun over fads—serving the sober‑curious, the health‑curious, and the flavour‑curious alike. Purpose sits alongside product: we back local suppliers where possible and prioritise recyclable, circular‑minded packaging with minimal waste in brewing.
What makes us different is our obsession with everyday drinkability. We build flavour architecture tuned to New Zealand palates
The process is a beautiful journey that consists of several stages. At the start, we blend premium sencha green tea with filtered water at a specific time and temperature, ensuring that the culture receives all the necessary nutrients. The tea is then transferred to continuous fermentation tanks with the kombucha culture, where it stays warm and undisturbed for up to six months.
Once the primary ferment is ready, the kombucha is divided into individual flavouring tanks for the secondary ferment. Wholesome raw ingredients such as botanicals, herbs, and fruits are added to create a flavoursome botanical extract. This delicate process is both time and temperature-specific and requires the utmost care.
The live botanical kombucha is then thoroughly stirred, filtered, conditioned, and carbonated, producing a depth of flavour, rich texture, and mouthfeel that makes Kombucha Bros beverages unique. Our time-honoured process ensures each can and bottle is chocker full of beneficial probiotics, vitamins and nutrients keeping your body in balance and your mind alive.
Finally, the flavour varieties are packaged into cans, PET, or kegs and shipped out for your enjoyment. We proudly offer packaging options that are easily recycled curbside in every province in New Zealand. Kombucha Bros is a testament to the beauty of tradition, the perfect blend of science and art, and the passion of our Master Brewer.
