Walking Mountains Science Presentation

Posted on: January 30th, 2012 by fara

We had such a great time at the Walking Mountain Science Center that we hope they invite us back in the future.   We were greeted by a roomful of interested people and everyone got to preform experiments involving yeast and touched a SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast that is the base for our High Country Kombucha).

Lara Carlson, an educator at the Science Center, started the presentation with some basic information about symbiosis and yeast.

Both Ed and Steve from High Country Kombucha got up to speak and offered more specific information about our kombucha and the authenticity of our symbiotic culture.

Several members of the audience were very interested in how to start their own home brewed kombucha (it’s as easy as using our authentic kombucha tea for your home brewed kombucha base) while others were just hoping to learn why our kombucha makes them feel so good when they drink it.

We were excited to have the opportunity to raise awareness about our product in our own backyard.  Huge thanks to the Walking Mountains Science Center for allowing us to present at the first “Science Behind” presentation series of the season.  We would love to do this presentation again if the opportunity arises, it went very well and was lots of fun.

Thank you to everyone who attended, we truly appreciate the interest and support.

Skiing Video in the High Country

Posted on: January 4th, 2012 by fara

High Country Kombucha is brewed and bottled in Eagle County Colorado where several ski resorts are located.  We love the attitudes of the people that live in the Colorado Rockies and their enthusiasm for staying active and living a healthy lifestyle.  Below is a video of an avid skier and a day in the back country with a High Country Kombucha.  Enjoy!

Thanks for shooting the great video and sharing it with us.  We wish we had that kind of powder in Eagle County this season.  We’ve had less than average snowfall so far.
