our story

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.

after traveling more than 33 countries and trying kombuchas in london, seoul, new york, san francisco, mexico city, lisbon, barcelona, and many more, we 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.

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

we only live once, and what we eat ultimately shapes our relationship with our bodies and the way we see and experience the world. that is why our mission is to create beverages without alcohol, without preservatives, without sugar — natural and organic — 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.
