About Us & History ❤ Kombuchery

Kombuchery is much more than just a drink.

It's life. With millions of tiny, active microorganisms that make you feel good with every sip.

It's pleasure. The sparkling refreshment that makes you and your body happy.

My own journey to better gut health gave rise to the vision behind Kombuchery: to show people that true health begins in the gut – and that sometimes all it takes is a bottle of kombucha. That's exactly what Kombuchery stands for. And that's exactly what's in every single bottle.
— Maximilian SeedorfFounder of Kombuchery

Made with love. In every bottle

Kombuchery is one of the few raw kombucha that is still produced using traditional fermentation methods, without concentrates or artificial additives.

Most importantly, our complex fermentation process and PrioBiotic formula preserve the healthy cultures, nutrients, and vitamins in every bottle. This creates a unique taste that has already won five Great Taste Awards.

We are uncompromising and do not believe in pasteurization or too much sugar.

More about production

We take responsibility. Since the first bottle.

We recognize that it's a privilege to have the choice of what you want to drink. As a young start-up, it's incredibly important to us to think beyond the bottleneck. That's why we've firmly anchored social commitment and sustainability in our corporate philosophy.

We're a proud member of 1% for the Planet. So everyone benefits from Kombuchery!

More about sustainability

From problem to solution

It started in childhood
Our first encounters with kombucha and SCOBYs date back many decades. Even our grandmothers fermented the drink with the strange name. It was supposed to protect us from colds and stomach aches. Back then, kombucha tasted more like a bland and overly sweet tea, which didn't really appeal to us.

A few years later, we were proven wrong and discovered a huge variety of kombucha while traveling around the world. Back in Germany, we desperately searched for the various refreshing flavors and simply couldn't find anything comparable.

Our vision was born

It quickly became clear to us that we had to bring the many benefits of authentic kombucha to Germany. In 2019, Max founded the startup Kombuchery in Berlin and began hundreds of experiments to achieve the perfect taste and maximum effect.

He vowed never to compromise on production or quality. Since the very first bottle, Kombuchery has been 100% organic and authentic, unpasteurized raw kombucha. By continuing to use traditional methods at Kombuchery, we can continue Grandma's tradition and redefine kombucha with exciting, refreshing flavors.

We are changing the beverage industry

All beginnings are difficult, and the German food retail industry isn't exactly known for innovative and healthy products. But we didn't give up and built a fantastic team of diverse kombucha lovers. We all have our own unique story about kombuchery, whether from abroad or from our childhood.

Year after year, Kombuchery and our team have grown. In total, over 100,000 customers have already consumed several million bottles, following their gut feeling. True to the motto: "Happy Belly. Happy You." This is our daily motivation and, for us, makes Kombuchery the best drink in the world, day after day.
