We've just created a new page on our Website called Wabi O Tunes. It features the ever-growing Google Playlist of our favourite tunes, the music we listen to while brewing our Kombucha for you.
We believe in the power of music to help create better Kombucha - and happier brewers. It also gives you an small insight into our (sometimes rather weird) personalities - Tuvan throat singing, whimsical pop,  Catalonian ska, free jazz, desert rock, neo folk - it's all there and we would love to share it with you.


Our Kombucha Tunes are available at Wabi O Tunes.

I love New Zealand!
Where else can you spend a week in what feels like absolutely primal wilderness - just a few hours away from home and only 20 minutes from the nearest cafe!
I just returned from a wonderful and soul-refreshing trip to Mt. Cook and Fjordland - rock climbing and tramping and enjoying the wild. The photo above was taken at our return to the car (and some Wabi O Kombucha), coming out of the Greenstone Valley after crossing over from the Caples Valley via Steel Creek.

Despite it being the middle of summer, the saddle above Steel Creek received some fresh snow the night before our crossing and we were greeted with a magical dusting of white to contrast with the intense colours of New Zealands sub-alpine environments.
Steel Creek doesn't see much traffic despite its location between two of New Zealand's busiest tramping valleys - the Greenstone and Caples Valleys. It's a bit more demanding than the two popular tracks, but mainly due to its length (it took us about 8.5 hours to get from Upper Caples to Greenstone Hut and we were walking pretty quickly). A bit of windfall on the Greenstone end made for some more interesting travel...
While the weather was perfect for the crossing, the next day saw some heavy rain in the Greenstone Valley and we were happy to get back to the car.
A cold bottle of Wabi O Cliffhanger Kombucha seemed the perfect end to an awesome trip!

It just seems appropriate to start our new blog on the first day of the year - 1/1/13!

The plan is to use this blog for updates on what's going on at Wabi O, more in-depth reviews of the medical literature on kombucha and health, to announce specials and give-aways as well as sharing some other interesting tidbits that are important to us.
While we don't envision a strict format at this stage, we hope our posts will be of interest to you.

We encourage you to leave comments or give feedback on things you would like to read more about.

So, I'll raise my glass of Wabi O kombucha to a good start into the new year and to a long-lasting relationship with you, our readers!
