Kombucha Workshop Series

Kombucha Workshop Series Hosted by Chef Desmond, Michelin-Starred Chef

Step into the living, bubbling world of kombucha — where wild yeast, good bacteria, and a little patience transform humble tea into something complex, effervescent, and alive.

In this hands-on workshop series, Michelin-starred Chef Desmond brings the precision of a fine-dining kitchen to the ancient craft of fermentation. Whether you're a curious beginner or a home brewer looking to refine your bottle, you'll walk away with the skills, confidence, and recipes to brew kombucha you'll be proud to pour.

What You'll Discover

• Kombucha Fundamentals — Understand the science behind the SCOBY, the role of tea and sugar, and why fermentation is equal parts chemistry and intuition.

• Step-by-Step Brewing — Follow Chef Desmond through every stage of the first fermentation, from selecting your tea to nurturing a healthy, vigorous brew.

• Flavoring & Second Fermentation — Learn the chef's approach to building flavor: seasonal fruits, herbs, spices, and aromatics that turn a good kombucha into an unforgettable one. Discover how to dial in carbonation, balance, and finish.

• Q&A and Live Tasting — Sample a flight of Chef Desmond's signature brews, ask anything, and leave with answers tailored to your home setup.

Why This Workshop

Kombucha is having a moment, but most of what's on shelves barely scratches the surface of what this drink can be. Under Chef Desmond's guidance, you'll see kombucha the way a Michelin chef does — as a craft worth taking seriously, and a flavor playground without limits.

Bring your curiosity. Leave with a bottle, a SCOBY, and a new ritual.
