HI, I'M HANNA
Do you sometimes feel like this: drinking only water all day is boring and in the evening you lack a good non-alcoholic alternative? In your opinion, juice has too much sugar and lemonades are not for you anyway? I feel you! Because there was no offer of high-quality, healthy non-alcoholic beverages anywhere on the German beverage market, I founded the FIRST8 Kombucha Manufactory in 2021.
Our mission: to change the beverage culture in Germany! With our handmade organic kombucha you are not only doing something good for your body, but also letting your soul dance. From 100% natural ingredients we create extraordinary taste experiences that make Spezi, spritzer and the like look old. The days when kombucha was a niche product in health food stores are over. For us, kombucha is the champagne of non-alcoholic beverages. A functional lifestyle drink that is not only good for you, but above all tastes fabulous. Try it for yourself.

We want to change the beverage culture in Germany! With our handmade organic kombucha you are not only doing something good for your body, but also letting your soul dance.

For us, kombucha is the champagne of non-alcoholic drinks. A functional lifestyle drink that is not only good for you, but above all tastes fabulous. You'll even happily skip the beer or wine when you have such great alternatives. Try it yourself.
FirstWhat? FIRST8!
Say it out loud and maybe you'll hear what we mean by our name. When spoken, "First Eight" sounds like "First Aid". And that's exactly what FIRST8 Kombucha is: First aid for real self-care moments. For a healthy lifestyle that's also fun. For the many small and big moments of pleasure in life when you want to do something good for yourself. First aid for everyone who wants to get the best out of themselves.

THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS
We have been brewing really good premium kombucha for you since 2021. It all started in an old bakery just outside Munich. We outgrew it after a year. The first move was in mid-2022: to SHAERE, an interim use in the Neuperlach district. Now we are on the move again (do you have a tip for us?).
But no matter where the journey takes us, quality is our top priority.
JUST BETTER.
Only really good kombucha is fermented in the traditional way. This is the only way to get the healthy cultures into the kombucha. This is what sets FIRST8 Kombucha apart from most other brands.
We also work exclusively with natural ingredients and do everything we can to ensure that our healthy microorganisms remain in the drink that ends up in your fridge. This means that we do not pasteurize or filter. Here, too, we differ from commercially available kombucha, in which the valuable living microorganisms are no longer present. HERE you can find out more about the special features of our Munich organic kombucha.
We use a few technical tricks to produce an alcohol-free kombucha. We have been working on this for a long time. We test each batch for its alcohol content and guarantee that it will be in the refrigerator with less than 0.5% VOL. As a rule, it is only 0.1% VOL, which is less than what is in a ripe banana or apple juice.

WE CAME TO STAY
On February 15, 2021, we sold our first kombucha right here: at Munich's world-famous Viktualienmarkt. The tender for one of the coveted market stalls ran parallel to the founding and we were able to convince the city of Munich with our concept for our craft kombucha. The perfect start for a Munich startup.
We have now developed 10 different Kombucha variants, which we produce according to the seasonal availability of the ingredients. You can buy them from us at the Viktualienmarkt, in our online shop and from selected retailers . Some restaurants also already offer FIRST8 Kombucha. Feel free to write to us if you would like to work together or know someone who knows someone...
