We learnt everything we needed to make kombucha and kefir as well as caring for our scoby. The venue was very warm and cosy and the teacher informative, passionate and welcoming!

Adam was a great teacher and was very informative. The course included tasting a whole range of kombucha and Kefir drink that he had prepared in advance of the lesson and gave a good base as to what your attempts should come out like after you have given these a go at home. The course included an informative booklet and gave you the scobies / grains required to carry on this hobby at home. All in all a great course which i would highly recommend.

Very interesting class. Nice small group so quite intimate. The setting was local for me and it leant itself to that class. Adam was very thorough in his approach and explained in detail the process of facto-fermentation. He was thorough when answering the groups questions. He provided lots of samples and tastes of fermented drinks and foods.

The Kombucha and Kefir class run by Adam was great. We were complete beginners, but Adam was lovely and friendly and explained everything really clearly and answered all our questions. It was great to try all the different kombucha and kefir that he had made, he also put on a lovely spread of snacks. I was really grateful to come away with a scoby, water and milk kefir grains to get me started!

Great class, fun and informal. Adam is very knowledgable and friendly. Venue really good. It was useful to see, taste and learn about lots of different examples of kombucha and kefir, also being able to take home our own scoby and kefir grains. I'm looking forward to making my own! Thanks!

Really loved the kombucha workshop - a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, AND I made a fantastic batch of kombucha of my own the next week. Really pleased with my own kombucha-making skills now and would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to learn more about fermentation.
Charlotte - 9 October 2018
Great workshop! Learnt the A to Z of Kombucha and got to try an amazing selection of seriously delicious pre-made Kombucha all different flavours. We were all given out our own scoby to take home so i’m now fermenting my own kombucha - just cant wait to try it! Very friendly, knowledgeable teacher, it was a great evening!

We learnt all about Kombucha, Scobies and Kefir, got to taste loads of different flavour Kombucha and even took home our own scobie and kefir culture to make our own at home along with a thorough guide for us to follow. It was a fun, relaxed setting (the venue was ace) and our teacher Adam was incredibly knowledgeable and super friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in kombucha, fermentation or gut health .
