Founders of Left Field Kombucha at Functional Drinks Club

Meet the Founders

Established in 2016, Left Field Kombucha is a UK craft brewer of kombucha tea founded in the tea smuggling coastal town of Eyemouth in the Scottish Borders.

Here’s a little more information about us...

When we set up we found there was a huge gap in interesting tea drinks. Also, everything out there was so sugary, and was adulterated by flavourings or spices. Inspired by beer brewing and fermented foods we wanted something natural that was wholly better for us. We also wanted an alternative to an alcoholic drink or coffee which still packed a real, feel good punch… and we found KOMBUCHA.

We have always been tea lovers anyway and the chance to develop something pure, using only the finest teas, was just too hard to resist.

We then established the first kombucha brewery in Scotland in the heart of tea smuggling; the coastal town of Eyemouth. Business grew and grew until in 2022 we outgrew our unit in Eyemouth and moved to Livingston.

We rented a unit three times the size and built in a custom fermentation room with all the drainage, plumbing and air filtration an up-and-coming drinks brand could want.

Why we Love Left Field Kombucha?

Because this is the perfect example of a Kombucha you can use as a wine alternative. You will no longer chase the bad non-alcoholic wines after tasting these.

Why We're the UK's Kombucha Destination

Raw & Unpasturised

Every bottle is packed with living cultures, active enzymes, and real beneficial bacteria. We keep our drinks raw so your gut gets maximum biological impact in every sip.

Supporting Independent Craft Makers

We skip mass-market factories to champion small-batch producers who prioritise quality, slow fermentations, and traditional methods over industrial volume.

No Hidden Nasties

Zero artificial sweeteners, no synthetic preservatives, and no sneaky fillers. Just clean, transparent ingredients that work with your digestive system, not against it.
