These early days of January can feel strange as we're finding our way back into our usual routine. It can also lead to a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the year that passed and leave us wondering about the year ahead. For us at ūmmi, it represents a moment to step away from the daily grind and see the progress that a small brand like ours can make in a year. After our soft launch in 2021, moving into 2022, we ramped up our production to levels we'd been dreaming of last year, with 30,000 liters of hard kombucha brewed...

You might have seen a few parties on social recently where ūmmi has been showing up front and centre.As we head into the holiday season (I know we’re still over two months out) we’re prepping to ship volume to businesses who want to have an alternative buzz available for people to try at their events.  After all, who wouldn’t want a way to offer friends and employees a cleaner buzz without slowing them down the next day?If you would like pricing or have any questions about logistics get in touch at Jon@ummikombucha.com or chris@ummikombucha.com
