OUR STORY
Welcome to BooChaCha, where our passion for authentic Kombucha, gut health & all things wellness is at the heart of everything we do.
I'm Hebe, the founder, and my personal battle with daily bloating, food intolerances & low energy has fuelled our mission to help everyone make perfect Kombucha in their own kitchens.
From the ages of 13 until my late twenties I dealt with daily symptoms, bloating cycles, & food intolerances. After endless doctor appointments, I was left believing that my digestive woes were just a part of who I was.
After studying Medical Engineering at Cardiff University and working for five years as a Mechanical Engineer, I decided it was time for a "career break".
It was on this adventure that I discovered Kombucha; a delicious, fermented, ancient health tonic that would have a remarkable effect on my health & resolve 99% of my digestive problems.
I learnt how to brew the perfect Kombucha using a simple continuous Kombucha brewing system, from a friend in a small village in the Japanese mountains, called Nozawa Onsen.
I started drinking a small glass of this fresh, raw & totally natural Kombucha first thing every morning and was blown away by the relief it brought me.
As soon as I arrived home, I began brewing my own Kombucha with this simple method. Friends & family caught on, all feeling the health benefits in slightly different ways, and that's where the story of BooChaCha begun.
I am determined to share my knowledge and passion for fresh Kombucha, & make home brewing accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
We have since been featured on BBC One and BBCiPlayer with Gordon Ramsay as one of his Future Food Stars for series 2, we have featured on podcasts such a Booch News, Parenting Hell and on Wellness Walks.
We have become well known in the Bournemouth area for our Kombucha brewing classes, and have collaborated on a broad variety of wellness events with people like Heather Ashley, Karas Vegan Supper Club and more.
News of BooChaCha has appeared in Pier Magazine, Bournemouth Echo and Dorset Biz News.
We have run large corporate events for clients all over the UK too, one of which was a Kombucha workshop for 150 people held in Windsor, where each participant took home their own brewing batch of Kombucha which they had made during the class.
Our work has earned us multiple 5 star reviews, many of which are on google and can be read here.
"I am loving my Kombucha brewing experience. The Mango & green tea & lemon, ginger green tea are my favourite so far. Great quality, clear instructions and Hebe has always been available to message any queries I’ve had. It is so tasty & zingy, all my family start their day with a large Kombucha shot. I’ve done 4 brews now and have got a new baby SCOBY ready to start developing more kombucha!"
The green tea kombucha is the best I’ve tasted. It’s not too sharp and has a nice fizz to it. This is the second bottle I’ve purchased and I’m definitely going to continue to drink it and maybe buy a kit to make my own."
"Hebe's talk was so fantastic and informative and her passion and energy made us all fall in love with BooChaCha and her! She shared samples with us of the product on the night and they were absolutely delicious! The starter bottles that she had brought with her "in case anyone wanted to buy one" literally flew off the shelf and none were left by the end! I think we were all a bit obsessed from that moment on!"
