Spring Branch Kombucha has been a friend of ours since they began their journey in 2017. Chris Ollis, one of SBK’s founders, recently shared the story behind one of our favorite flavors:
“Our Blackberry Sage Kombucha began as a special collaboration with Mama Jean’s. In 2017, before we had even brewed our first batch, the MaMa Jean’s team invited us to make our product pitch and asked whether we could eventually create an exclusive flavor just for Mama Jean’s. It took us a little while to get our feet under us, but as soon as we were ready to experiment, we started testing new ideas.
Pairing fruit with herbs has always been part of our flavor process, but Blackberry Sage initially seemed a little too eccentric to try right out of the gate. Once we finally made it, we wished we had started there. The gentle sweetness of blackberry pairs beautifully with the earthy character of sage, creating a flavor that is refreshing, complex, and slightly savory. The team loved it—and the rest is history.”
We’re proud to continue carrying this MaMa Jean’s exclusive flavor, and it’s still one of our favorites years later.
Kombucha also adds a perfect kick to your mocktails, although these flavors don’t need any help in the flavor department. From Lemon Hops to Strawberry Rose to our MaMa Jean’s exclusive Blackberry Sage, you’ll just have to try them all to discover your favorite.
