Lion Heart Kombucha is a craft Kombucha brewery born and raised in Portland, Oregon. Our family-run business is dedicated to making the most delicious and most healthy raw, organic Kombucha available at restaurants and grocery stores across the Pacific Northwest, and at our Kombucha Brew Shop where we have bulk discounts and seasonal flavors on tap.
Our Kombucha cultures are treated as living beings (because they are!) and with the utmost care and respect. We feed Kombucha with only the highest quality teas and organic cane sugars. We use environmentally-friendly cleaners and sanitizers, conserve energy and water in our brewing process, and compost all of our spent tea, herbs, and Kombucha mothers. Our cultures are fermented and stored in only stainless steel and glass (never plastic!) because we have found it to produce a cleaner taste and healthier culture. We like to think of our "Kombuchery" as a Kombucha sanctuary - where cultures come to thrive!
Our goal is to bring more Kombucha to the community! We are strong believers in the power of probiotics and fermented foods as part of a "back to roots" healthy lifestyle. A big part of our job is reaching out to the community to educate more people about Kombucha and offer it as the truly all-natural replacement for soda, alcohol, and energy drinks.
What makes us especially awesome:
- We ferment our Kombucha completely, so there is no residual sugar. This takes longer and requires more care, but results in a healthier brew with no sugar rush.
- We harvest our Kombucha when it has reached the perfect balance between sweet and sour. This requires taking samples of every batch on a daily basis, and bottling the Kombucha at just the right time.
- Our Kombucha ferments in top-quality stainless steel, open top wine fermenters. This means a cleaner taste and healthier culture than brewing in plastic or even glass.
- Our flavors are *spectacular*!!! We use the best teas available and only pure, quality, organic ingredients.
- We offer seasonal flavors made from organic produce from local farms.
- We juice our own ginger for flavors like Ginger Fizz, and other produce for season flavors - that's why the taste is so fresh.
- We make Kombucha more affordable by offering bulk discounts at our brewery shop, plus teach classes and offer starter kits for those that want to make it themselves.
