Blighty Booch combines family passion with award-winning craftsmanship, delivering organic kombucha that supports your gut, your mind, and your wellbeing — all brewed with care in Conwy, Wales.


In the rolling hills of Conwy, Wales, a family‑run business is quietly reinventing how Britain drinks kombucha. Blighty Booch Organic Kombucha, produced by Conwy Kombucha Ltd, is brewed in small batches using traditional fermentation methods – no artificial sweeteners, no forced carbonation, no pasteurisation. This commitment to authenticity has earned them SALSA, OF&G Organic, and Vegan Certification, plus accolades including the Great Taste Award, Wales Food & Drink Awards Artisanal Producer 2023, and a 2024 Innovation Award finalist nod.



Crafted with Care – From Home Kitchen to Organic Brewery


Blighty Booch was born in 2018 when founders Mark and Alana, frustrated by bland, mass‑produced kombucha on UK shelves, decided to make their own. Drawing on creativity and passion, they hand‑selected the finest organic teas and ingredients, then scaled up carefully. Today, their tight‑knit team of friends brews every bottle with integrity and heart — delivering natural, living kombucha straight from their Welsh base.



Award‑Winning Flavours & Authentic Fermentation


What sets Blighty Booch apart is quality. Their Ginger Kombucha was named a Top 50 product out of 12,700 entries in the 2020 Great Taste Awards, while other varieties (like Nettle & Rosehip) consistently win praise. The brand’s genuine fermentation process preserves the beneficial microbes and enzymes naturally produced during brewing, making every sip full of living goodness.

Gut Health at the Core – Real Research, Real Results


Kombucha is often prized for its gut‑health benefits, and Blighty Booch is putting that to the test. Thanks to an Innovate UK grant, they have partnered with researchers at Aberystwyth University to investigate precisely how their kombucha impacts physical and mental well‑being.


Over eight weeks, healthy participants drank Blighty Booch regularly and were monitored for cognitive and behavioural performance. Scientists analysed blood and urine samples for signs of inflammation, metabolic changes, and shifts in the gut microbiome – the complex community of more than 1,000 bacterial species living in the human gut.


Professor Nigel Holt, Head of Psychology at Aberystwyth University, explained: “We often talk about our ‘gut instinct’ … there is a direct link between our gut and our brain. Most of our serotonin is produced in the gut, for example. … Our project is delving deeper into the microbiota gut‑brain axis to measure the extent to which consuming a fermented product like kombucha can support our mental as well as our physical well‑being.”


Dr Amanda J. Lloyd, from the Department of Life Sciences, added: “Blighty Booch are using their innovative fermentation technology to further improve the nutritional quality of authentic kombucha … developing evidence‑based, value‑added products with functional health benefits.”


Their research aims to scientifically validate whether Blighty Booch can reduce inflammation and enhance metabolic and mental health — potentially proving Hippocrates’ ancient wisdom accurate: “all disease begins in the gut.”

Praise from Press & Public

  • Country & Townhouse: “It is no wonder Blighty Booch is a top favourite.”


  • Olive Magazine: “A light, fruity beverage with delicious effervescence and warming notes of ginger.”
