ABOUT FOLK KOMBUCHA

Folk Kombucha is a start-up kombucha microbrewery located in Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District. The two owners Niklas Harmsen and Nina Parna established the company out of an appreciation for the art of fermentation. Niklas has significant experience within the food industry, owning two restaurants Slurp Ramen Joint in Copenhagen and Stoke in Berlin. Nina has a Masters degree in Food Innovation & Health writing her master thesis on Kombucha, and authored the book “Kombucha, en levende te”.

The kombucha industry is an exciting and rapidly growing market. Our goal with our brewery and brand is to distribute our future products across Denmark and later the EU. We aim to fuse the traditionally fermented craft with a forward-thinking scientific approach. We are committed to creating a process that maintains a living, unpasteurized kombucha made with thoughtful care for our people, ingredients, and the environment. Our products are based on a pure and sustainable ideal using organic, high-grade ingredients and Nordic rooted flavors. Drinkability and consistency are a key focus, and we set to keep improving the quality of our kombucha and the processes, with a willingness to experiment and push ourselves as we grow. The brewery will also be a learning hub, carrying out events and workshops to engage and inspire people on the craft of fermentation and kombucha.
