Their story
Fermensch Kombucha is brewed in Huntington Beach, California, by Chad Huniu, a chef who turned to fermentation full time. He started the company in 2016, working alongside his wife, Mykel, and his father.
The name, which Mykel came up with, joins ferment and mensch, the Yiddish word for a good person, and it has personal meaning for the family. Fermensch began with kombucha on tap before moving into bottles and then cans. Bloom, made with blueberry, lavender and chamomile, has long been a bestseller.
How it's made
Huniu builds flavors by experimenting with herbs, spices, adaptogens and mushrooms, favoring local, organic and seasonal ingredients from nearby farms. The kombucha is now packed in cans, which the company prefers for recyclability.
Why we carry them
We like Fermensch for kombucha with a chef's palate behind it. Bloom is floral, fruity and a great intro.
