Recent research sheds light on the profound impact these microscopic allies have on not just your physical health, but also your mood, decision-making, and overall well-being. Join artist and fermentation expert Eva van Dée, and discover the magic of kombucha, a naturally effervescent fermented tea teeming with beneficial probiotics.

What you will do

During the workshop you will learn the basic principles of fermentation, and discover the surprising impact of gut bacteria on your health and happiness. Following the presentation, you'll experience a tasting of various teas and the ingredients, led by Eva. After that, you will use everything you've learned to make your own customised distinct kombucha recipe. This jar of kombucha will be yours to keep at home, along with instructions on how to carry out further fermentation. Get hands-on experience making your own jar of delicious, customised kombucha.
