Behind the Buzz
We like to do things old school
Our mother SCOBY once belonged to our founder’s Grandmother, Amy, who started brewing what she called “Manchurian tea” for founder Alex in the sleepy town of Kaikohe back in 1974.
Alex and Amber believed in the gut-healing properties of Amy’s humble booch, and set out to bring great gut health to Kiwis in 2014.
After months of experimentation, they took the leap and started brewing brimming-with-health organic kombucha from a small factory in Wainuiomata—and it’s been getting them up in the morning and brewing booch daily ever since.
The way we brew benefits you.
Kombucha is fermented by a good-natured colony of live bacteria and yeast. Good Buzz organic BioGro-certified kombucha is fizzing with live cultures to support a healthy digestive system and plays a part in supporting our overall health and wellbeing.
A powerful source of probiotics, fermented kombucha tea is home to a host of good bacteria, providing a healthy boost to our body’s natural immune systems. Rich in antioxidants, kombucha improves our wellbeing from the inside out.

Our Kind of Buzz ♻️
At Good Buzz, sustainability isn’t a trend, it’s how we brew. Led by Wendy G, our Head of Quality & Compliance, we make sure every part of our process goes full circle - from bottle to box.
When you recycle a Good Buzz bottle, it’s melted down and remade into new glass by our supplier, and the same goes for our cardboard boxes. Even our tea bag waste and extra scobies are collected by EcoGas to be transformed into compost and renewable natural gas.
Our Kombucha - hits different...
Good Buzz Kombucha is fermented traditionally, taking place with a symbiotic culture, (or SCOBY as favourably known) combined in a lightly sweetened tea brew.
Our brewing process spans two weeks, allowing ample time for the bacteria to get cozy with natural sugars, slowly converting them into organic acids. We regularly test our kombucha until it achieves our iconic, fizzy tang.
Our organic kombucha is then lab-tested, containing millions of beneficial live cultures and gut-loving microbes.
'Good' Team producing 'Good' stuff!
From humble beginnings, the Good Buzz team grew to a team of 10 and recently upgraded into a purpose-built factory and production facility located in Tauriko, Bay of Plenty.
Our thriving team continues to grow and brew organic kombucha for cafes, events, supermarkets, gyms and bars right across Aotearoa. No matter how much we grow, we continue to hold on to our ethos of small batch-brewed kombucha.
Innovators at heart, we’re constantly tweaking and fine-tuning our ever-expanding product range and offering—because who said we had to stick to the rules?
