It all started with a love of tea.
Our founder—Stephen Lee—has a rich history with tea. It wasn’t until after he co-founded Stash Tea and Tazo Tea that he discovered kombucha. On a trip to Russia, he learned about the sparkling fermented tea and grew so fascinated by it, he returned home and founded Wonder Drink in 1999.

Kombucha is everyone’s new favorite drink. It’s a fermented beverage made from brewed tea, sugar, and bacteria from a starter culture called SCOBY—Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast.
Kombucha's taste can range from tart to sour to tangy, like a crisp apple cider vinegar or a bubbly switchel. And it’s as versatile in use as it is in flavor—you can mix herbs, fruit, spices, and tea infusions for unique and exciting kombucha concoctions!

Consistent: Every can of kombucha we produce should be fresh and great-tasting—that’s our promise.
Innovative: Our kombucha is Prebiotic Kombucha- fun, functional, and your new favorite drink.
Guaranteed Non-Alcoholic*: We use a proprietary two-step fermentation process to make our kombucha. After the desired organic acids are produced, we stop the fermentation process by inactivating the starter cultures. This allows us to keep the kombucha non-alcoholic* and also control the amount of residual sugar.
We’ve been passionate about kombucha for 20+ years. Why? Because we want to make beverages that help you live better, for a better tomorrow. The discovery of how gut microbiota impact our health is redefining food. At the heart of this discovery are prebiotics—solutions we can use to improve gut health. We’re harnessing these solutions in innovative—and delicious—ways.
