Earth Day 2023 - "Infuse your own kombucha" Workshop
Join our workshop to learn how to make your own Kombucha. Kombucha s a mildly fizzy, fermented drink made from sweetened tea and a specific culture known as a ‘scoby’, short for a ‘symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts’.
She is the brewer behind all our flavors and Taboo’s MOM. She was once constipated because of the high pressure at her previous job and started making and drinking kombucha more than a decade ago. She got her first piece of SCOBY from a dear friend - this SCOBY is the grandmother of all of our SCOBYs, and we are ready to share them with you! She loves to create flavors drawing inspiration from her personal experiences growing up in HK and romantic nostalgic moments. Ask her why she created a certain flavor and she might talk for 2 hrs. www.taboocha.com
