Our Story: Crafting Authentic Welsh Kombucha

About Us: The Art and Soul of Blighty Booch

We are Mark and Alana, and Blighty Booch was born from a simple observation: the glaring lack of a truly authentic, high-quality kombucha on UK store shelves. We were tired of settling for lackluster, mass-produced options that tasted like compromises. So, we decided to make our own.

You might wonder what a visual artist and a music producer know about brewing. As it turns out, crafting a premium beverage requires the exact same passion, patience, and obsession with quality that we’ve dedicated our lives to.

Alana brings the artist’s eye. With a degree in Fine Arts and a career spent creating exhibitions and installations across Wales and internationally, she understands how to respectfully manipulate raw materials and processes. For her, brewing is another art medium—a craft practice that demands a meticulous eye for detail and a deep appreciation for organic elements.

Mark brings the harmony and the industry know-how. Having spent years as a music producer working with British folk legends, directing live shows at the Royal Festival Hall, and running a record label, he knows how to balance different notes to create a masterpiece. He also brings crucial entrepreneurial experience to the table, having previously managed import and export distribution for Absinthe, Caribbean rums and energy drinks.

Refusing to settle for the ordinary, we started brewing in our own kitchen. We blended our creative spirits with traditional, time-honored fermentation methods and the absolute finest organic ingredients we could source.

We didn't just want to make a drink; we wanted to craft an experience. Today, that home-brewed passion has grown into Blighty Booch—a premium, living tea legend crafted for those who refuse to compromise on taste or culture.
