Why the lunar cycle?
Brewing kombucha according to the lunar cycle is based on the belief that the moon influences natural rhythms on Earth. Just as the moon affects the tides, it also enhances the fermentation process, enhancing probiotic potency and flavor profiles. Moon Juice Kombucha utilizes this astronomical influence by timing brewing and bottling to coincide with specific lunar phases.
“We want customers to have a great kombucha experience and understand what they’re drinking,” says Moon Juice founder Emily Lu.
