Rok Kombucha (Australia)
Owners Trent (AFL player turned winemaker) and Amanda (a former Business Improvement Analyst) discovered the benefits of kombucha when looking for a natural way to support their young family’s health. After brewing a couple of batches, they were hooked on this ancient, sparkling, probiotic beverage and made it their mission to share its’ immune and energy boosting properties with Australia.
Working together with local and international organic suppliers, Trent and Amanda have sourced the very best ingredients Margaret River and the world has to offer. That’s why in every bottle of rok, you’ll find a masterfully balanced flavour profile that really brings out the best in each sip.
Every batch of rok is brewed to exacting standards using naturally occurring organic ingredients. The determination of the owners is to produce the finest, most health beneficial beverage. They fiercely protect rok quality and will never heat treat, pasteurise or add any preservatives to rok, as doing so will decrease the awesome health benefits of booch.

In 2015, Greg & Emma were joined by Rob & Kylie Whyte, long term friends & drinkers of Kombucha.
Rob is the current director of Hippie Kombucha. We never set out to be the biggest or boldest producer of Kombucha in Australia, but we were serious about delivering at scale, something quite unique. At our core, we embody the following founding principles of our Purpose statement, Health, Integrity, Inclusion & Legacy. When you taste a Hippie, the flavours that hit your palate are a direct result of the love & work that we put into our custom blended teas. You won’t find us adding any flavours, sweeteners or carbonation.
Today, our team works tirelessly to improve all parts of what we do, such as reducing or eliminating wasteful parts of our production. As a producer, it’s our responsibility to deal with the waste we make, it’s the problem of the store or customer. This is what drives us to improve ourselves and our processes. We work closely with partners onboarding Circular Economy practices, speak with Rob to learn how you can do more in your own business, to reduce or eliminate wasteful practices, and at the same time, close the loop on linear production models.
