Berlin-Brewed Probiotic Beverage: Magucha Kombucha Offers Gut Health Benefits
In Germany, the fascination with home remedies and Teetrinken has led to a surprising resistance towards kombucha, a fermented drink that, arguably, could benefit from its health-conscious culture. However, kombucha brewer Julian Ronnefeldt, the founder of Magucha Kombucha, is determined to change this narrative.
Ronnefeldt, who ventured into kombucha production in 2020, has made it his mission to create a palatable kombucha, ensuring a balanced sweet-sour taste appealing to even the most discerning adult beverage connoisseurs. His innovative creations, such as the butterfly pea and guayusa tea kombucha, have been embraced by consumers and stocked in over 20 locations across the country.
Before his kombucha endeavors, Ronnefeldt had been involved with a different kind of culture. Co-founder of the iconic nightlife venue Loophole, Ronnefeldt was a significant figure in Berlin's underground party scene. Aiming for a change of pace, he headed to India in 2014, where he first sampled kombucha, prompting him to declare it a "healing elixir" for him.
Now, Ronnefeldt's Neukölln-based store, KulchaBox, teems with vibrant bottles of Magucha Kombucha, bright purple concoctions, deep yellow turmeric shots, and jars of black garlic. All products are meticulously crafted in Berlin, without the inclusion of additives, artificial flavors, or pasteurization. KulchaBox prioritizes high-quality organic ingredients, emphasizing the therapeutic properties, whether for gut support or liver repair, of their products.
Ronnefeldt envisions KulchaBox as a "progressive food store," intending to expand the shop's offerings to encompass vegan and vegetarian products from local producers. He also plans to host pickling workshops, dinner clubs, and in-store concerts, aiming to create a vibrant community around KulchaBox.
For those eager to taste the freshest Magucha Kombucha, Ronnefeldt's store, KulchaBox, located on Donaustr. 39, Neukölln, awaits. But when visiting, beware mentioning gherkins—their distinctive tang might not be an appreciated comparison in this context.
