Hi, my name is James F. Chang, and I am the founder, Brew Master, and owner of Shen Zen Tea. We are pioneers in the kombucha industry. What makes Shen Zen Tea Kombucha unique is our ability to innovate while still keeping it simple. The goal of our brewing and infusion methodology is to relay the functional health benefits of ingredients into our beverages, which is why we put so much energy, focus, and resources on the core ingredients of our kombucha.
Beginning as a tea company, we believe that the core of what makes a great kombucha is great tea, just like how good wines come from good grapes. We source single origin, whole leaf premium grades of tea to brew our kombucha. This is in large part why our brews are so smooth and require less sugar. Just like a good cup of tea or coffee, you don’t need to sugar if the quality is exceptional.
Raw cold pressed juice in our raw kombucha is stabilized through fermentation rather than pasteurization. When raw foods are cold pressed and treated delicately, the phytonutrients and probiotics are preserved and give quintessential functional benefits to our health, such as digestion, immune system, and even mental and emotional stability. This is something larger companies in the industry cannot do, because they need to preserving self-life and sacrifice functional benefits of raw foods by pasteurizing for large scale distribution. All the flavors of our brews are produced from organic raw whole ingredients, juiced and infused by our team of artisans in house. We pride ourselves in purchasing ingredients from local farmers we know so well, we text them for orders and sometimes even go to their homes to pick them up.
Another unique feature of Shen Zen Tea Kombucha is we develop kombucha cultures specifically for each one of our flavors, not just one base kombucha that is flavored like 99% of all kombucha companies. Our most notable flagship culture is our Lemongrass Culture, which uses lemongrass instead of tea for the fermentation to make a truly caffeine-free kombucha. The lemongrass gives Shen Zen Tea kombucha a unique, sweet and vibrant flavor profile that no other company has. Peer review scientific articles report lemongrass as a strong prebiotic much like tea, so it was a great candidate for us to create something new, delicious, and healthy that the world of kombucha has never seen.
