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.

Do you like liver?? Beef liver can positively impact your gut health in several ways. And read below my 2 tips to get it into your diet:
1. Nutrient Density - Beef liver is rich in nutrients that support gut health, including vitamins A, B vitamins, iron, zinc, and copper. These nutrients play crucial roles in maintaining the integrity of the gut lining and supporting overall digestive function.
2. Support for Gut Microbiome - The presence of certain nutrients in beef liver, particularly B vitamins and zinc, can help promote a healthy gut microbiome. A balanced microbiome is essential for proper digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function.
3. Amino Acids - The high-quality protein in beef liver contains essential amino acids that are important for the repair and maintenance of gut tissues. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with digestive issues or conditions that affect gut health.
4. Anti-Inflammatory Properties - Some components in beef liver may have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce inflammation in the gut. Chronic inflammation can contribute to various gut-related problems, such as leaky gut syndrome.
5. Detoxification Support - The liver plays a key role in detoxifying the body, and consuming beef liver can provide nutrients that support liver function. A healthy liver is crucial for effective detoxification, which indirectly benefits gut health.
6. Bioavailable Nutrients - The nutrients in beef liver are highly bioavailable, meaning they are easily absorbed by the body. This makes it an excellent source of nourishment for maintaining gut health.
While beef liver can support gut health, it’s important to consume it in moderation due to its high vitamin A content.
So here’s 2 ways I get beef liver into my diet:
💥Supplements - you can get beef liver supplements. Just make sure it’s high quality, grass fed beef! Check out @saturee_official_
💥Ask your butcher to see if they can incorporate it into your mince. @kuskeysbutchershoppe now offer an Ancestral mix containing liver, heart and kidney!! It’s fabulous and no, you can’t taste it 😆.

🥕🥕Raw carrot salad can positively impact both gut and hormone health in so many ways. Here’s how:
Hormone Health
1. Fiber Content - The fiber in raw carrots can help regulate blood sugar levels, which is essential for maintaining balanced hormone levels. Stable blood sugar can prevent spikes in insulin, a hormone that plays a key role in metabolism and fat storage.
2. Beta-Carotene - Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. Adequate vitamin A levels are essential for hormone production and regulation, particularly for thyroid hormones.
3. Detoxification - Carrots support liver health, which is crucial for hormone metabolism. A healthy liver can help detoxify excess hormones, particularly estrogen, which may contribute to better hormonal balance.
Gut Health
1. Dietary Fiber - The fiber in raw carrots promotes healthy digestion and regular bowel movements. It acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria and supporting a healthy microbiome.
2. Antioxidants - The antioxidants in carrots can help reduce inflammation in the gut and support overall gut health, potentially reducing the risk of gastrointestinal disorders.
3. Hydration - The water content in carrots can aid in digestion and help prevent constipation, further promoting gut health.
4. Nutrient Absorption - A healthy gut environment supports the absorption of essential nutrients, including those that are vital for hormone production.
Incorporating raw carrot salad into your diet can support both hormone and gut health, contributing to overall wellness. All you need to do is grate a carrot and dress with olive or coconut oil and apple cider vinegar.

Enjoy every day! Helen 🫶🫶
