Meet Our Members – Buchi Kombucha (Australia)

Jason Callender, Buchi Kombucha, Australia

Q: When did you first discover kombucha?

It was 2010 in Brooklyn NY where this wide eyed Kiwi discovered this fermented, non-alcohol, detoxifying bottle of fizzy goodness for the first time. It was a bottle of GT”s Multi Greens. I’ll never forget it.

Q: Why did you start your own kombucha company?

Kombucha was just the replacement for alcohol I was looking for and upon returning to Australia I hunted high and low for this wondrous concoction which led me underground where I found and inherited my first SCOBY from a chap by the name of “Grubby”.

Q: What is your favorite flavor of kombucha? 

Heavenly Hops and New Age Noir by GT. How he does it I don’t know.

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

Lumberjack, Picture framer/Gallery Owner, IT Professional, Kombucha Brewer. Logical right??

Q: What is a saying that you live by?

If not now, When?!
