Our Story
In the search for a healtier alternative to alcohol and sugar fizzy drinks we discovered the incredbile tangy fizz of Kombucha.
Low sugar, good for your gut with a refreshing and satisfying tang. What’s not to like?
We stayed true and brewed the old school way - just the way we liked it. Turns out our customers did too and kept coming back for more - welcome to Dr. Bucha’s Living Drinks & Kombucha Brewery - your local Bay of Plenty Kombucha Bewers.
Prescribing Wellness & Happiness in Every Bottle
Nothing mattered more than using the freshest local organic produce to flavour our Kombucha. because you can taste the difference!
You can count on our Kombucha to be brewed the traditional way - no unneeded filters, no added sweeteners, no fake flavours, no pasteurisation or artificial carbonation. And definitely NOTHING artificial! REAL FRUIT all the way!
Bursting with life & Strangely Satisfying
Initially, we didn’t appreciate just how awesome Kombucha really is - the more we learned about it, the more we liked it. You could say we’ve gone full circle and turned into Kombucha Fanatics.
What started as a curosity, turned into a passion and quickly grew into a business.
Dr Bucha’s Living Drinks are different! Providing you with a new drink experience that’s healthy and wholesome.
