Let me set the scene.
A quiet day. The house peaceful. A fresh batch of kombucha bubbling away on the kitchen bench. I’d just tried a new mix — ginger, lemon zest, and a little homegrown love.
I was feeling proud. A brewing goddess. The ferment queen.
Until I opened the bottle.
BOOM.
Kombucha everywhere. The ceiling. The floor. My arms. I stood there — sticky, stunned, and slightly amused — watching the last of the fizzy rebellion settle into a puddle.
Lesson learned? Kombucha is alive. It’s wild. It’s a little unpredictable. And you always, always let that fizz out gently.
But that moment was also a turning point.
I realised I didn’t just want to make kombucha — I wanted to teach it. Share it. Bottle that experience (without the explosion!) and show others how fun and nourishing it can be to brew your own.
That’s how Bush Bubbles was born — a name inspired by the land we live on, the fizzy joy of fermenting, and a bit of cheeky energy in every bottle.
Now, every time I hear that gentle hiss of a bottle being opened, I smile.
Because behind each fizz is a story, a process, and a deep connection to something ancient and alive.
