Follow our TRILLIONS of probiotics  @somakombucha

"Wisdom is like the baobab tree. No one person can embrace it." African proverb. . We feel the same about all the Baobab-Ginger Kombucha kegs we have ready for the markets this weekend! Baobab, or African mango, grows on a massive tree right out of a Dr. Seuss landscape and is rich in vitamin C and prebiotic fiber. We're also serving Pear Fennel Jun, the "O.G." Original Pure Kombucha, and HopBiscus Kombucha.
#Repost @araya.powell • • • 1. Is a Rich Source of Probiotics Kombucha is thought to originate in China or Japan. It's made by adding specific strains of bacteria, yeast and sugar to black or green tea, and then allowing it to ferment for a week or more. During this process, the bacteria and yeast form a mushroom-like blob on the surface, which is why kombucha is also known as "mushroom tea." This blob is actually a living symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast, or a SCOBY, and can be used to ferment new kombucha. The fermentation process produces vinegar and several other acidic compounds, trace levels of alcohol and gases that make it carbonated. A large amount of probiotic bacteria is also produced during fermentation. Probiotics provide your gut with healthy bacteria. These bacteria can improve many aspects of health, including digestion, inflammation and even weight loss. For this reason, adding probiotics foods like kombucha to your diet can improve your health in many ways. 2. Contains the Benefits of Green Tea Green tea is one of the healthiest beverages on the planet. This is because green tea contains many bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols, which function as powerful antioxidants in the body. Kombucha made from green tea has many of the same chemical properties and therefore many of the same benefits. Studies show that drinking green tea regularly can increase the amount of calories you burn, reduce belly fat, improve cholesterol levels, help with blood sugar control and more. Studies also show that green tea drinkers have a reduced risks of prostate, breast and colon cancers. 3. Contains Antioxidants Antioxidants are substances that fight free radicals, reactive molecules that can damage your cells. Antioxidants from foods and beverages are much better for your health than antioxidant supplements. Kombucha, especially when made with green tea, appears to have powerful antioxidant effects on the liver. Just a few cool facts and benefits of kombucha. @somakombucha is by far my favorite. It has trillions of probiotics!
Love and Pomegranates on tap at the markets tomorrow. Pomegranate-Rose Jun 🍅🌹 Grape Kefir Kombucha 🍇 The "Original" Pure Kombucha 🦄 & the best for last?... Strawberry-Rhubarb Kombucha 🍓 Vancouver and Portland Waterfront Markets
SOMA Kombuch and Jun is now available at all Bristol Farms and Jimbo's stores in SoCal. Meanwhile, back in the woods, we're getting ready to roll these bad boys full of booch to farmers markets all over town.
Some of you may have noticed an issue with our caps being hard to take off, or coming off a little... ahem... TOO easily (like when they're sitting on your counter). I am overjoyed to announce that after almost a year of sourcing, sampling, testing, and manufacturing we finally have received lids with the proper size, shape, and especially the rigidity to work perfectly on our bottles. They seal tight and come off like a dream! Any bottle with a best buy date of 6/1/19 will be a pleasure to open and (as usual) to drink. Not your average "pretty people with product" ig post, but we believe that the details make the difference between good and great. And that's about as sexy as can be.
Now available - SOMA Kombucha plus full-spectrum hemp-derived CBD from our friends at Frogsong Farm, soon to be certified organic! (Welcome to the club guys, you'll love the gold-plated shovel they give you, jk.) Starting this month one of our 2 rotating monthly flavors will contain 5mg CBD/16oz, starting with Strawberry Rhubarb Ginger. Ask for it at your favorite kombucha-on-tap location (Crossfit Formidable in Canby & Nuhealth in Vancouver already got a jump on pre-orders), or grab a keg from one of our taprooms for your home kegerator!
At SOMA Kombucha and Jun, we see stakeholders everywhere: the community, the environment, our staff, our wholesale partners and vendors, our industry peers, our neighbors, and of course our beloved fans. None is more important than another - when we make decisions we consider the highest good for all. And if it seems like one has to suffer for another to succeed, we find that this perspective often unveils a new option - one that's even better for everyone. 💜 There are a lot of kombucha choices out there. Though big business CAN have the greatest impact, we find that small business usually DOES.
We're honored to be chosen as the exclusive kombucha of the Portland "Saturday" Market, starting tomorrow! Look for us there on Sundays until we can swing both weekend days in a few weeks.
Hello Rose Bowl,
Who's ready for #MemorialDay weekend? We are! The farmer's market keg cubes are loaded and ready to go. Check out the flavors we'll be slinging this weekend! And because the phone is ringing off the hook from people who've had it at our taprooms, we'll be bringing along some CBD Booch in bottles as well.
Live at farmers markets this weekend - wild Orand and Basil Seed Kombucha. Also flowing: Passionfruit Kombucha, Purple Carrot-Ginger Kombucha, and Raspberry Jun. Beaverton and PSU Sat, Vancouver Sunday. Or as long as they last!
