Q: When did you first discover kombucha?

Our first sip of kombucha was at Wegman’s in 2012.  I actually wasn’t a fan at all at that point.  How things have changed! 

Q: Why did you start your own kombucha company?

I had started experimenting with my own recipe, playing with what worked and what most definitely did not.  When I got to the point where I loved the taste, I brought Lisa in to experiment with flavors.  We started giving it away to friends and family and suddenly we didn’t have enough for us!  People were really enjoying it and we thought we may be on to something here.  Lisa and I both like to juggle various ventures, so this was an exciting opportunity for us to pursue together. 

Q: What is your favorite flavor of kombucha? 

Undoubtedly, Health Ade’s Lemon Ginger.

Q: What is your former/current other life or career?

I’m in private wealth management, estate planning, and law, and also enjoy lots of house projects.  Lisa was in pharmaceutical sales, the performing arts, teaches and loves creative art projects.  As I said, we both like to juggle a bit. 🙂 

Q: What is a saying that you live by?

Be Sound. (John)  Keep an open heart. (Lisa)

Q: When did you first discover kombucha?

Whilst holidaying in the surfing town of Byron Bay Australia in 2015. Had my first sip of a Remedy Ginger Lemon kombucha at a local cafe and was instantly hooked on the refreshing and great tasting flavour.

Q: Why did you start your own kombucha company?

I had always found fermented foods really interesting due to their complexity, unique processes and benefits to health. I’m a big believer in food as medicine and so after discovering kombucha I couldn’t wait to share it with others.

Q: What is your favorite flavor of kombucha? 

Health-Ade Pomegranate. I’ve lots of respect for Health-Ade staying true to their small glass jar brewing process.

Q: What is your former/current other life or career?

With a background in Food Science, prior to taking the plunge with Zentient Culture I had spent 16 years in research and development for large multinational food and beverage companies. It was a journey that had led me to passionately believing in whole plant based foods and I’m thrilled to be able to share this in my local community with Zentient Culture Kombucha.

Q: What is a saying that you live by?

“Be the Change You want to See in the World” – Gandhi
