We see you–you’re interested in kombucha (dare we say “passionate”?) but there are few barriers to brewing your own: acquiring the jug and all the paraphernalia, not sure you’ve got the space, unsure where to find the best recipes; still thinking you need a mother SCOBY to start. And maybe you’ve been searching for a kombucha kit for rent already and this is the moment you’ve been waiting for. Well like I said, we see you. We’ve even been there.

Worry no more, my friend! Now, for the first time in Victoria, you can address all of these barriers in one fell swoop. Rent one of our at-home kombucha kits and see if it’s the hobby for you. Start with as little as a 1-month commitment–we can even drop it at your doorstep for you.

Why Rent a Kombucha Making Kit?

Renting a kombucha-making kit might be the perfect solution for you:

1. So dang convenient: Our kombucha-making kits come complete with everything you need to get started, including a jug, tea, starter, and instructions. You can start with the bare bones, or go straight for the prized kit — it’s up to you.
2. Perfect price point: Buying all the jazz can be really pricey. Renting instead of buying a kombucha-making kit  saves you some decent coin up-front. (And don’t even get us started on the cost savings brewing your own vs buying commercially.) But if you decide part-way through that you want to keep it all, well we can make that happen.
3. Ridiculously flexible: Not sure if brewing kombucha is for you? Well, renting a kit allows you to give it a try without committing to a long-term investment. If you decide it’s not your cup of tea (or kombucha), you can simply return the kit.
4. No more clutter: Clutter-cutting is quickly gaining popularity, and we support that. So many people take up a hobby, only to find the related equipment became mere clutter after a couple of months. If that’s the case with your kombucha kit, then simply return it and–presto!–no more clutter. (And if you find you love brewing, we can easily move you from renter to owner, for a small price of course.)

How It Works

Renting a kombucha making kit is quick and easy. Here’s how it works:

1. Place Your Order: Visit our store-front, drop us an email, or give us a call to place your order for a kombucha making kit. You’ll have all just the right number of options for a tailored experience. Our specialty is kombucha kits for rent and we’re confident you’ll find what you need.
2. Pick Up or Delivery: You can choose to pick up the kit from our location in Greater Victoria (Metchosin), BC, or opt for delivery to your doorstep. Our goal is for this to be as hassle-free as possible.
3. Brew Your ‘buch: Once you have your kit, it’s time to start brewing! Check out our videos or follow the included instructions to brew your own kombucha at home. Experiment with different flavours (recall that it’s all about the second fermentation); have fun; teach your kids some biology; and enjoy your own delicious product.
4. Enjoy and Return: After your rental period is over, simply return the kit to us. We’ll take care of cleaning and sanitizing the equipment for the next customer.

Why Brew Your Own Kombucha?

Brewing your own kombucha has several benefits:

• Health Benefits: Kombucha is known for its probiotic properties, which can support a healthy gut and immune system. Plus, if you use green tea in your tea base tea, you get the antioxidant benefits and a host of other benefits that may arise (the evidence base is thin).
• Creative Freedom: When you brew your own kombucha, you have the freedom to experiment with different flavors and ingredients. You can create unique blends that suit your taste preferences. (If you discover a great new recipe, we’ll add it to your recipe collection and give you the naming rights!)
• Cost Savings: Buying kombucha from the store can be expensive, especially if you consume it regularly. Brewing your own kombucha allows you to save money in the long run–a lot of money.
• Sustainability: By brewing your own kombucha, you can reduce packaging waste associated with store-bought bottles. (We are also mindful of the transportation costs and the concept of virtual water, where water is moved from one watershed to another. But those are secondary to the packaging.)
