our story

esa was born from an obsession: proving that caring for your gut microbiome and your health can be an absolute gastronomic pleasure. after traveling to more than 33 countries and finding nothing like it, we created this project.

under the motto taste the difference, we elevate wellbeing through a range of delicate, delicious drinks with an exceptional, sparkling flavor, created with radical transparency: everything behind every ingredient, every process and every image is purely real, honest and human, with no artifice.

it is the definitive meeting point between high aesthetic culture and guilt-free enjoyment; an aspirational design for people who live with discernment and refuse to choose between caring for their health and the fullest pleasure on the palate.

out of a deep curiosity for the world — and an appetite to know it through culture and food — we spent more than four years traveling. immersing ourselves in different cultures and tasting local food and drink.

we tried kombuchas in london, seoul, new york, san francisco, mexico city, lisbon, barcelona, and many more, and saw that most existing kombucha brands carried too much added sugar, or failed to be consistent in carbonation and effervescence. the flavors were uninspired and in most cases tasted like vinegar.

we also wanted delicious, low-calorie alternatives. with no added sugar (or zero sugar), but without artificial sweeteners or anything strange. and if the drink could offer some real benefit, even better. this turned out to be hard to find. in most cities the only options that met these criteria were sparkling water with a shot of lemon. how could nothing else exist on the menu? it was as if our only choices were sugary drinks, drinks full of artificial ingredients, alcoholic drinks, or water.

that's when we decided to create our own kombucha, our own soda, and our own alternative to traditional alcoholic drinks like wine and sparkling wine.

what if we made our own kombucha and prebiotic soda?

taking inspiration from the flavors of all those journeys, esa was born. aspiring to create unique beverages and the best natural kombucha on the market. bubbly, effervescent, delicious. with a production process that combines traditional fermentation methods with industrial-scale measurement and packaging, to deliver a kombucha of very high quality, consistent and full of flavor. esa kombucha is not like any other kombucha currently on the market.

for esa soda, the inspiration is flavors with more sensuality. more depth. more complexity — to deliver a truly refreshing, delicious, and very bubbly experience. our flavors are not very sweet, so we understand they are not for everyone. drinks with zero sugar, 100% natural, that also contain prebiotics that contribute to gut wellbeing — that was the exact balance we wanted to create.

we want to see a world where what we eat and drink helps us become and feel like the best version of ourselves.

our mission is to create natural beverages without alcohol, without preservatives and without sugar, that spark curiosity and excitement while supporting wellbeing, happiness, and longevity. we aspire to create experiences that help us feel like the best version of ourselves: feel happy, feel whole.
