Michele Vanlangenaeker, Wild Boocha Kombucha, Singapore

Q: When did you first discover kombucha?

A: In 2018 after my business partner discovered kombucha on a trip to London.

Q: Why did you start your own kombucha company?

A: My business partner, Summer, actually started Wild Boocha kombucha. We went to a class together to learn how to make it after she came back from a trip to London and discovered the drink there. It helped her with some stomach issues, and she was keen to learn more. Her flavors were so good that friends kept asking her to make more, and after seeing the traction the product had, I suggested we partner up and make it an official business. We wanted to make kombucha more mainstream and share our passion with Singapore. I was in between jobs and looking for a new adventure, and it turned out to be the best decision I ever made!

Q: What is your favorite flavor of kombucha? 

A: Lo Bros blueberry lime

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

A: I used to be a Legal Counsel for an airline company

Q: What is a saying that you live by?

A: Things happen for a reason
