Maria Lima, Aquela Kombucha, Portugal

Q: When did you first discover kombucha?

I discovered kombucha in Bali, in 2017, on a month-long trip in the island of gods, by recommendation of a friend. It was love at first sip!

Q: Why did you start your own kombucha company?

Like most of my fellow brewers, I started to brew at home and the organic demand I had made me take it seriously and think of it as a possible business venture. My goal has always been to produce and sell kombucha that I love – raw, alive and delicious!

 

Q: What is your favorite flavor of kombucha? 

I love the Health-Ade Power Greens!

 

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

I am an academically trained architect, but I worked in fashion production most of my career.

 

Q: What is a saying that you live by?

Everything has a solution.
