Manifesto
KOMBUCHA BY LAURENT MANIFESTO
We believe that kombucha is more than just a healthy drink; it is a social movement. By choosing kombucha over traditional alcoholic beverages, we are promoting a healthier lifestyle. We know that it is a great addition to any celebration, party or social gathering.
Laurent de Bremaeker
Master chef and health educator
Laurent’s mission is to help people regain their energy and enjoy great shape. There are several tools that we can use so that we can unlock our full potential. This is what Laurent conveys through his lectures, books, food and way of life. He has gained a wealth of professional and personal experience working with master chefs such as Matthew Kenney in Santa Monica. He completed programmes at the Integrative Nutrition School of Health in New York City and earned a health educator degree from the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida. The time he has also spent with sine enlightened spiritual teachers has helped him increase his knowledge of the human system, the importance of energy in food, a plant-based diet and what to prioritise in life to be happy and well-balanced.
He organises health and detoxification workshops for clients around the world where he shares his knowledge on how to eat best in the 21st century. She is also a consultant for training programmes for renowned restaurants throughout Europe.
Life, like food, is about combining the right ingredients and preparing them in the most beneficial way. Some methods preserve the highest nutrients and gain maximum health benefits. Just as certain actions and decisions shape your life in certain ways for better or worse. If understood, this simple metaphor can have great impact and healing powers in your life. And would it not be better to have a long and healthy life?
Let us stop talking and have a glass of Kombucha. Here is to your health!
„Our Kombucha is an expression of the essence of celebrating life and respecting the environment. Our aim is to encapsulate the best local raw materials, colour, balance of aroma and notes of wine in every sip. We create one-of-a-kind kombucha.” – Agata Chmielewska, Brand Creator
The power of kombucha
Secrets of production
We give you a guarantee of quality that is an irrefutable proof of our knowledge, commitment and responsibility. A guarantee that includes the style of our kombucha, from the selection of raw materials to the final result of our efforts encapsulated in each of our bottles.
We blend kombucha
WE BLEND KOMBUCHA
We combine different styles, SCOBYs and ingredients; and also vary the fermentation time in order to achieve the right parameters of clarity, the level of sweetness, acidity, taste and aroma.
OUR PRIORITIES
The most important direction of our development is the production from local and European herbs and the blending with flowers, roots and spices.
THINGS WORTH KNOWING
Each Kombucha has its own specific properties, which are determined by the SCOBY, the fermentation time, the choice of raw materials and even their origin.
HEALTH-PROMOTING VALUES
We search for the best tea leaves and different varieties of flowers and herbs, which we select for their health-promoting values.
WE ARE AGAINST
We never add any dyes, preservatives or vitamins. Instead, we use selected juices and natural flavours.
Ethics and sustainability
„We are all guilty and we all have to be part of the solution.” – Laurie David
Concern for health and respect for the environment are fundamental values to the philosophy of Kombucha by Laurent. We feel responsible for nature which provides us with valuable resources. Only attention to detail at every stage of production, from local ingredients to the closed-loop production process, yields a quality product while respecting the environment.
In this way, kombucha by Laurent has initiated a process of selecting both the SCOBY and the use of herbs to replace the main ingredient, i.e. tea while making the decision to ultimately use only indigenous and European raw materials.
History
„Without Laurent, there would be no Kombucha of ours. As a chef, he was looking for a drink that would keep the body in balance, quench thirst and help maintain concentration. Kombucha proved to be ideal. And thus began our new adventure and Kombucha by Laurent was born. Kombucha is considered the elixir of health, the drink of longevity. People all over the world have been drinking Kombucha and enjoying the benefits for thousands of years.” – Agata Chmielewska
Kombucha by Laurent was created in 2019. Since then, our company has been slowly and consistently growing – with patience and passion, which are essential in this case. In the beginning, we started fermenting and producing popular kombucha flavours. Today, we create sophisticated and unparalleled series which are distinguished by both their unique design and flavour composition. They are created using a conventional method with respect for the environment and with a reduced carbon footprint.
Today, we add knowledge, research and valuable consultations with universities and biotechnologists to our experience. We also draw on the experience of a Belgian lover of energy nutrition and a French admirer of refined flavours and aromas. This is because they all follow our passion for quality and the fundamental philosophy of our company.
