Steve Lee, co-founder of Stash and Tazo tea companies, first experienced kombucha while traveling in Russia on business in the 1990s. After sampling a kombucha culture carefully handed down for generations, he took home a “starter” culture from that original batch back to America. Steve began brewing kombucha in his own kitchen and, after becoming convinced that more people should be able to experience its wellness effect, he launched Portland, Oregon-based Kombucha Wonder Drink in 2001. Kombucha Wonder Drink beverages include premium organic green, oolong, jasmine and herbal teas packed with antioxidants, while the kombucha fermentation process creates beneficial organic acids that have been known to aid digestion and help build the immune system. Kombucha Wonder Drink is a refreshing, USDA-certified organic sparkling fermented tea. Effervescent, slightly sweet and subtly tart with low amounts of sugar and caffeine, Kombucha Wonder Drink is pasteurized and classified by law as a non-alcoholic beverage.
