Item Description

Kombucha is a lightly-effervescent fermented drink of sweetened black and/or green tea that is used as a functional food. It is produced by fermenting the tea using a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast, or "SCOBY."

Revive's first creation was "revive" or otherwise known as "the buch," a kombucha that is deliciously refreshing to drink.  They produced this one and only flavor for 3 years, giving it all of their love and attention and it's now called "the OG buch".  Revive decided it was time to spread their wings and share some new creations. Revive RED and GOLD can be found in a select few Northern California stores.  Their motto is "fast is slow and slow is fast...enjoy the buch."

The Art of Fermentation 

Revive believes in the wisdom of tradition and that means no shortcuts to making the buch. Although their production needs have grown exponentially, their process and craft remain the same. Revive is kombucha, artisanally made in small batches using 100% ORGANIC ingredients and fair trade teas. Each batch of our kombucha is lovingly nurtured, brewed and fermented by the Buch Crew. Our scobys (mothers) are regularly treated to positive vibes and righteous tunes being jammed out by our bucket speakers and Pandora Radio Stations influenced by Bob Marley, Jack Johnson, ALO, Donavon Frankenreiter, Mountain Revival Music, Slightly Stoopid, Ratatat and our favorite brew day station, Free Ride...you get it, the music, the vibe and the love are an important part of the buch process.  

Why raw?

All whole foods are packed with enzymes, which are killed when heated or pasteurized. As humans we have a finite amount of enzymes within our bodies that are utilized each time we consume a food or drink that has been heated. When you eat foods in their raw form, their enzymes are still intact and will aid in the digestive process putting less stress on your body. Not only is raw good for your digestion, raw foods are living foods that contain thousands of vital nutrients that are damaged and destroyed by heat. Some companies pasteurize and/or filter their kombucha. Revive believes this results in an inferior product that strips kombucha of most if not all of its healthful benefits, specifically the enzymes and probiotics.  

Revive kombucha is produced locally, Fair Trade Certified, USDA Organic, and Non GMO Project Certified.
