Lion Heart Kombucha is a family-run Kombucha brewery in Portland, Oregon dedicated to crafting the highest quality probiotic tea possible. Our mission is to improve the health of people, our community, and the environment through probiotics, healing amino acids, and sustainable business practices.
Our Kombucha cultures are treated as living beings (because they are!) and with the utmost care and respect. We feed Kombucha with only the highest quality and organic teas and cane sugars. We use environmentally-friendly cleaners and sanitizers. Our cultures are fermented and stored in only stainless steel and glass (never plastic!). We like to think of our "Kombuchery" as a Kombucha sanctuary - where cultures come to thrive! And each batch of Lion Heart Kombucha must meet extremely high standards of quality - if it's not absolutely amazing, we don't sell it.
Our goal is to bring more Kombucha to the community! We make the benefits of Kombucha more accessible by offering bulk prices and refill discounts at our brewery shop. We also offer starter kits and brewing classes - since 2008 we have taught well over 300 of our community members our techniques of making the best tasting and healthiest Kombucha possible - some have even taken this knowledge to start their own breweries in other parts of the world! We are dedicated to making Kombucha a part of peoples' everyday lives and proliferating the fermented foods revolution!
What makes us especially awesome:
- We ferment our Kombucha completely, so there is no residual sugar. This takes longer and requires more care, but results in a healthier brew with no sugar rush.
- We don't over-ferment our Kombucha, so the vinegar smell/taste is not overpowering. This requires taking samples on a daily basis, and bottling the Kombucha at just the right time.
- Our Kombucha ferments in top-quality stainless steel, open top wine fermenters. This means a cleaner taste and healthier culture than brewing in plastic (common in other breweries).
- Our flavors are *spectacular*!!! We source our teas and other ingredients locally, either from local distributors or local farmers.
- We offer seasonal flavors made from organic produce from local farms.
- We juice our own ginger for Ginger Fizz, and other produce for season flavors - that's why these flavors taste so fresh.
- You can refill your bottles 'on the cheap' at our brewery, where you'll find the freshest and least expensive Kombucha available.
- We conserve and reuse water whenever possible, use environmentally friendly cleaners and sanitizers, and our spent tea & extra SCOBYs are composted by Northwest Organic Farms.

Lion Heart Flavors
Hero's Blend - herbal infusion with herbs to strengthen mind and body. Tastes like a robust hibiscus cooler.
Pomegranate Love - brewed with pomegranate flavored teas. Reminiscent of a pomegranate spritzer.
Ginger Fizz - our sugar-free ginger ale copy. Very gingery!
Lavender Lemonade - gentle infusion of lavender and lemon balm. Subtle flavor, but you will notice the medicinal "happy" effects of the herbs almost immediately! Lavender from Hood River Lavender.
Oregon Strawberry - our original Kombucha with organic Oregon-grown strawberry puree from Stahlbush farms. "Farmers' Market in a bottle."
Seasonal Kombucha- We make different seasonal blends throughout the year such as nectarine, watermelon, fennel-fig, apple-ginger, Chai, Spiced Cranberry, etc.
