MEET THE PRODUCER: As well as operating a charity to support survivors of human trafficking, HOLOS Kombucha 's range of fermented teas is arguably as enriching as the founders' social achievements "We'll all buy something once for a good deed, but we want to be the most amazing kombucha out there," co-owner Naomi Partridge tells Fine Food Digest's Tanwen Dawn-Hiscox Read the full interview on page 47 of the Oct/Nov issue of Fine Food Digest: https://ow.ly/kRt950TSw4n

"The single greatest drink to ever exist." I remember the day that Tom Partridge and I first tasted our 'Citra Hops' Kombucha. We were still fitting out our new brewery, we had freshly painted floors and plenty of space to move around. He was a massive craft beer fan with the highest of standards (still has them), I was a non-drinker who just wanted something cool to hold in my hand. He sourced the best hops in the game. I learnt to design our labels in Adobe . We tapped it out and our jaws dropped. We stood there in silence... Tropical. Citrussy. Bold & brave. It was better than a non-alc beer ever could be. We had the 3 Star Great Taste Award that same year, and one judge even said "You are nothing short of genius. To create a cracking, refreshing, musty, fermented kombucha and then to bring in the freshness of the Citra hops to elevate the citrus acidity of a fermentation......what on earth are we experiencing here? Is this a new age craft beer, is it a lemonade? We do know...it's bloody wonderful. Thank you. There's many a beer fan that would love this." No kombucha brand in the UK had done this before, and now it seems they all have a similar SKU. We still brew ours in the exact same way after all these years and I still drink one almost every night after me dinner. It was in M&S for 2 years, it's in WholeFoods and it just keeps getting press. I stand by it. I still say it. This is the single greatest drink to ever exist.

I popped on to LinkedIn after WAY too long, and I've been reading through so many posts today - inspired by how colleagues and friends are creating, driving, succeeding, influencing, and quite frankly, having an amazing impact. You absolute legends. It's World Against Trafficking Day today. As co-founder of HOLOS Kombucha trying(!) to contribute to this fight through providing employment opportunities for survivors of exploitation, I felt obliged to write something....but honestly I am not sure what to say. It's terrifying that over 46 million people are impacted by modern day slavery or trafficking right now across the globe (and at least 122, 000 in the UK btw), and yet somehow, because that number is so huge, it feels removed from the day to day. Where do you even start to fight big, chunky, complex global issues like this? I guess, I wanted to share - and at risk of being cheesy, and in part to remind myself - whatever we have in our hand, whether it's where we spend our time, money or talents, whether we have a stage or not, it truly is only possible to tackle systemic social injustices when we all play a small part. Decisions like where we spend our money, the conversations we have, what we pay attention to and what we ignore, the way we use our influence, the people and perspectives we include - they really matter and can make a difference. Big love to all you change-makers and world-shapers out there who are quietly, faithfully sweating the small to influence the big, it counts. x

🍽️ FOODIE FRIDAY 🍽️ For those of you new to following me, I showcase x3 food & drink brands each week, reviewing them both with a consumer & buyer hat-on. It's great for discovering new brands to try, promoting young or new brands &/or highlighting some exciting NPD in this space. So let's do it... ☺️ I'm not really a soda drinker due to the amount of sugar level however I'm loving HOLOS Kombucha and their new soda. No sugar, made in small batches, not from concentrate this new range was so god damn delish. Also only 5 calories & 50% of your RDA vitamin C. Great credentials right. It's lightly sparkling so easy drinking & with some great flavour combination, my fav being raspberry & lemon. Big love for their charitable partnership, providing a safe working environment as part of a rehabilitation project for survivors of slavery & trafficking. The perfect healthier alternative to traditional soft drinks so would love to see in more coffee shops & QSR such as Black Sheep Coffee , Starbucks , LEON Restaurants . Also forecourts such as bp , Moto Hospitality , EG Group . Then the classics, contract catering so CH&CO , BaxterStorey , Genuine Dining . 🌱Always looking for healthier, whole food snacks especially when working from home, so was loving the range from Bardo - Real Food Bites With Benefits . Their delicious bite-size snacks contain minimally processed, real food ingredients and draw on the long tradition of using plants to improve our emotional wellbeing and mood. The lift flavour was my fav, full of plant-protein, high in fibre & mineral rich. The pouch size is perfect & filling & the packaging design is modern & clean like the ingredients. Love it. Want to lean on them getting stocked into adventure & fitness focussed accounts such as Third Space , Nuffield Health , Virgin Active , Decathlon UK but also adventure holiday destinations such as Center Parcs UK & Ireland , Forest Holidays & National Trust . 💝 For the vegans in my network, this one is going to blow your mind. Introducing the UK's first plant-based chocolate selection box, Catherine's Originals . Think a vegan quality street, this box of goodies contains such an epic & modern twist on the classics. I'm talking honeycomb, cookies & cream, orange & almond, all delicious & made using Fairtrade International cocoa. Such a treat & something I've really missed since turning vegan. Especially at Xmas. Perfect for farmshops & delis via Cotswold Fayre, a certified B Corporation & Holleys Fine Foods as well as key beacons like Selfridges & Daylesford Organic . I'd also say would be cool for people like Moonpig , Bloom & Wild as an add-on product as well as hampers such as Virginia Hayward Ltd & The British Hamper Company . Happy Weekend all! #gifting #plantbased #functional #sme
