Brewed on the
Lower Shore,
Sipped with Pride.
Every bottle starts with live cultures, real fruit, and a patient hand. East Bay Kombucha is brewed right here in Manahawkin — bold in flavor, honest in ingredients, and always something worth coming back for.
Our Story
Born from a love of
real fermentation.
East Bay Kombucha started as a kitchen experiment — a SCOBY, some tea, and a stubborn belief that fermented drinks should taste as good as they make you feel. What began with half-gallon jars on a Manahawkin counter has grown into a small-batch brand you can find across the Shore.
We brew in limited batches so every flavor hits the same mark: bright, naturally effervescent, and free from artificial anything. No high-fructose corn syrup. No pasteurization. Just tea, fruit, time, and the kind of patience that can't be rushed.

Small-Batch Brewed
The Lineup
Flavors worth
slow-sipping.
Each batch is fermented twice — once for tang, once for depth — then blended with real fruit for flavor that comes from the source.
Strawberry Basil
Summer on the bay, bottled. Sweet berries meet a whisper of herbal basil — light, refreshing, and dangerously drinkable.
Fruity · Herbal
Lemon Hibiscus
Tart, floral, and impossibly crisp. Hibiscus gives this one a ruby glow and a sour edge that pairs perfectly with lemon.
Tart · Floral
Elderflower Press
Elegant and understated. Delicate elderflower notes lift a bright green tea base into something that feels celebratory.
Delicate · BrightHow It Works
From tea leaves
to your glass.
Great kombucha doesn't happen fast. It happens right — and that means giving fermentation the time and attention it deserves.
-
01
Base Tea & Sugar
We start with a solid black or green tea base, sweetened just enough to feed the culture. No shortcuts, no extracts.
-
02
First Ferment
The SCOBY — a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast — gets to work over 7–14 days, turning sweetness into tang.
-
03
Real Fruit Blend
Once the base hits the right balance, we fold in real fruit — pureed, juiced, or steeped — for the second ferment.
-
04
Bottle & Carbonate
Sealed in glass, left to naturally carbonate for a few more days. The result is lively, effervescent, and alive with culture.
