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.

What’s so good about kombucha?? It contains Saccharomyces Boulardii - the Good Yeast.
Did you know in addition to the good bacteria in kombucha, there is a special probiotic yeast called Saccharomyces Boulardii (S. boulardii) that is resistant to antibiotics, which makes it incredibly useful for maintaining a healthy gut when treating an illness with antibiotics. It is one of the most researched probiotics and has been used world wide to support gastrointestinal health.
In addition, Kombucha can alleviate constipation and diarrhoea. The probiotic in kombucha, S. boulardii, is actually being used to treat all sorts of bowel disorders including Clostridium difficile, acute diarrhoea, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, some parasitic forms of diarrhoea and other gastrointestinal disorders.

Making kombucha the old fashioned way is how we do it at HOTI. We believe this is the best way to retain beneficial bacteria and yeast in a fermented beverage.

Pasteurisation, watering down or highly filtering is not something we do to our Booch #tastethedifference

Would you drink kombucha that is made from concentrate?
Well, the market is flooded with it 😓
It’s so prevalent that the peak kombucha body has created a “Seal” that brewers can put on their label to indicate its “not from concentrate” 🤨🤨🤨
It goes without saying, HOTI is
NOT FROM CONCENTRATE!! #traditionallybrewed

Did you know real kombucha has a specific “mouth feel”?
That’s right. Fully fermented kombucha will have a fuller mouth feel, you should be able to tell it’s gone through the fermentation process, it should have some sediment and it definitely should feel satisfying and alive!!
Kombucha that has a watery, weak and tasteless palette is most likely watered down, highly filtered or pasteurised. Not how I enjoy my kombucha!!
I brew HOTI without adding water, pasteurising and heavily filtering it!! It’s how I firmly believe that kombucha should be produced. It’s why HOTI tastes amazing and is extremely popular!
