Their story
Flying Embers comes from Bill Moses, who earlier founded the kombucha brand KeVita and Casa Barranca winery in Ojai, and co-founder Beryl Jacobson. The name traces to the 2017 Thomas Fire, when Moses stayed to defend his property and watched a shower of embers pass as the wind shifted at the last moment.
The brand started in Ventura County bars and markets and gave a share of profits to fire-related causes. In 2024 JuneShine acquired the Flying Embers brand in an all-stock deal, with Moses joining JuneShine's board.
How it's made
Flying Embers is fermented from a mother culture blended from four home-brewed kombucha cultures. The drinks contain zero sugar and are made with adaptogenic herbs and botanicals.
Why we carry them
Flying Embers is a light, tart option for anyone who wants something other than beer or wine. It is easy to share at a backyard dinner.
