Why our Kombucha?
She is mysterious, she is nurturing, she is wellness, and she is powerful.
Simply, HOTI Kombucha is an alternative to sugary drinks that often cause harm rather than wellness and nourishment.
HOTI Kombucha is a raw and unpasteurised, and made from ingredients that contain no gluten or animal products and will have you converted to drinks that are designed to heal and nourish at every sip.
Our Kombucha is wellness, kindness and love. It is what we love and with one sip, she will have you in love with her too.
Here at HOTI Kombucha we make real Kombucha using raw organic Bundaberg sugar and the highest quality loose leaf tea blends that are added to HOTI’s original culture and left to develop into an amazing bottle of wellness.
It is said when traditionally prepared, Kombucha works to enrich the healthy gut bacteria by adding beneficial acids, yeast and probiotics.
We know this, that’s why every batch of HOTI Kombucha is designed to be enjoyed, not as a tonic, but as a celebration of wellness and health.
It is more than just Kombucha to us, she is life, she is physical and mental health, she is uplifting and to us, she is life changing.
See how HOTI can do this for you.

AWARD WINNING
DRINK EASY awarded HOTI first place for Mango Passionfruit, 2nd place for Ginger Glow and 4th place for Blood Orange in their kombucha category. In addition we placed in the top 10 of the Non-Alcoholic drink category with 2 of HOTI’s favourite flavours, Ginger Glow and Mango Passionfruit.
What started as a hobby in my quest for wellness in 2016, has now transformed into a flourishing business. I founded HOTI Kombucha to meet a gap in the health beverage market in the Bundaberg, Hervey Bay and Wide Bay region for those looking for a healthier alternative. Fuelled by my passion and purpose to do what I love, HOTI Kombucha has since become the Kombucha of choice for locals.
HOTI is the first commercially produced Kombucha in the Wide Bay and Bundaberg Region and as a recent winner of the Bundaberg Region Chamber of Commerce 2019 Business Excellence Awards, I’m extremely proud of my achievements. HOTI Kombucha is now a regular draw card for tourists and is part of the drinks trail organised by Bundaberg Tourism.
I have also been considered a success story with the Females in Food Organisation, inspiring other women in food and drink and was also listed in the top 50 businesses in the Inside Small Business Magazine. HOTI Kombucha is also a proud member of Bundaberg Tourism.

Sure they have a lot of kombucha on the shelves, that means that yes, they have a lot of customers, but to them, you’ve just become a number, nothing else!
Because when large multi nationals have a lot of product all over the country, you become just a number, and to me you’re more than that.
Want to know something? I created HOTI kombucha to bring the Bundaberg and Wide Bay Region the best tasting kombucha I could. And while I might be small and only available in select cafes and retailers, that was always
my plan.
Hope your Monday has been great!

Did you know that at HOTI Kombucha, we craft our drinks from start to finish? We don’t take shortcuts by shipping in a proprietary blend and simply adding flavor! 😩
Our process involves using our unique recipes to carefully measuring the tea blends and organic sugar, incorporating them into our strong, robust starter culture, monitoring the fermentation process, hand-processing the flavoring ingredients, and finally, bottling and delivering all our products.
Astute kombucha drinkers can taste the difference in real, hand crafted kombucha which is why we’re proud to have received all 5-star reviews! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you can tell the difference, raise your hand in the comments! 🙋🏻♀️

I’m Helen and I started HOTI Kombucha for the local Bundaberg community, to give back something magical, something unique and something different and boy did you reward my efforts😍

After 9 yrs, HOTI Kombucha has become a family favourite, and through our free sampling and the opportunity to chat and learn how fermented foods can support you and your health, it’s a win for us both.

Being the first company to bring fresh local kombucha to the Bundaberg and Wide Bay region I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve achieved with your support.
Taste the difference, taste HOTI kombucha….
