About this episode
What do you get when two Springfield bankers swap balance sheets for bubbling jars of tea? Spring Branch Kombucha! ? Joy Robertson sits down with Chris and Jessica Ollis to spill the (fermented) tea on how a basement experiment turned into one of the Ozarks’ favorite fizzy sips. From blueberry thyme to apple pie, these two built a kombucha brand that’s as bold as its flavors. They share how farmers markets turned into statewide distribution, how they survived (and thrived) through COVID with a pivot to cans, and why kombucha is winning over people looking for tasty non-alcoholic alternatives. Oh, and don’t miss the story of their “Ohana” flavor that raised thousands for Maui wildfire relief. ? It’s bubbly, it’s feel-good, and it’s all brewed right here in the Ozarks. Pop a can, hit play, and join the fun! ? Thanks to our Savor The Ozarks sponsor, Arctic Food Equipment! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
