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.

Flavour spotlight - Dragonfruit. One of my personal favourites 😜
A tropical delight, this iridescent pink kombucha is oozing with character. An infusion of organic white and organic sencha green teas, this colourful brew acquires its flavour from locally sourced dragon fruit. With hints of citrus this elegant kombucha is refreshingly sweet and balanced and will encourage you to return to your glass time and time again. A perfect summer evening sip.

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

What do you love the most about HOTI®️ Kombucha??
🚫 that there are no additives, colourings, flavourings or sugar alternatives. Check the ingredients on your supermarket variety 😥
🍓the fact we use real fruit sourced locally to flavour our range supporting local farms.
🦠 that it’s authenticity fermented and has beneficial bacteria and yeasts. None of those kombucha concentrations in our brewery😵💫
🍹that it’s a great alcohol alternative. This one’s a big “hell yeah” from me! 😉
♻️ the fact that we produce very little waste. It’s true, all our tea, fruit waste and scoby discard goes to compost and we use a refill re-use business model🥰
👧 that it’s brewed with love, for you by me ❤️
What have I missed?

Here are some things I feel strongly about;
✅ Kombucha should be produced as close to the way it was always intended. Meaning fully fermented, not from concentrate, no added alcohol sweeteners (I don’t care how safe they say these things are, I’m not buying it) and no added probiotics. If it’s unadulterated, traditionally fermented it dosent need them.
✅ Hard kombucha shouldn’t be a thing! Traditional kombucha is known for its health benefits and probiotic properties. However, hard kombucha, creates confusion among consumers who expect the same health benefits. This can lead to a potential disconnect between expectations and reality. I get asked all the time if kombucha has alcohol!
Alcohol is toxic and disruptive to gut health. The exact opposite to what we traditional creators aim to assist with.
✅ Kombucha should only be in glass and in the fridge.
Recently, kombucha’s popularity has lead to many brands creating a “kombucha like” product that has been modified to allow for large scale, long shelf life and long distance distribution. Be aware of the difference!
Happy imbibing, Helen 🩷❤️🩷
