what makes lion heart kombucha so special?
our enthusiasm for kombucha is real
After 12 years of brewing kombucha for our community WE STILL LOVE IT! Every batch is carefully crafted to make sure it tastes great and that the culture is healthy and thriving. We are proud to make a beverage that is delightful to drink and healthy for you. We focus on local flavors and sustainable processes to ensure that our kombucha is good for not only our bodies but for the earth as well. Lion Heart is 100% traditionally brewed with our mother culture which was brought from Russia in the 1980’s and has since never touched non-organic tea. We have always used quality, fermentation grade wine-making equipment, and never stored our brewing Kombucha or SCOBYs in plastic. Our dedication to quality runs deep; our commitment to the health of our community runs even deeper. We are proud to pay our employees well, provide health benefits and offer a flexible schedule to accommodate and support their lives outside of work. We continually grow thanks to our dedicated crew and community of die-hard fans obsessed with our low sugar style, fresh local flavors, and reliable quality.

low sugar “dry” style
You’ll first notice Lion Heart Kombucha has just the right balance of sweetness with 2g-5g sugar per serving. After years of perfecting our recipe, you’ll discover that while our brew may be low in sugar, our kombucha is big in taste. We use quality local and organic ingredients to make our dry kombucha shine.

the local choice
Sourcing local and farm-direct organic ingredients is one of our specialties. When you drink a can of Lion Heart you are supporting a strong local and organic food system. We partner as much as possible with other small businesses and farms to make sure that we are doing our part to invest in the local economy and also to develop relationships that are long lasting and mutually supportive.

We understand unlearning white supremacy is a life-long process and are committed to this work.
