Purely Kombucha

Based in the historic market town of Wantage, Purely Kombucha was borne from a passion for home brewing this wonderfully healthful probiotic beverage.

​Kombucha is a non-alcoholic, slightly sharp-tasting sparkling beverage made by fermenting tea. I like to use flowers to flavour my brews. Kombucha has been consumed throughout the world for centuries and is considered a healthful drink as it is packed full of vitamins, enzymes, beneficial acids, bacteria and yeasts. There is much ongoing research into fermented foods and gut health.

Our bees spend the warm days foraging for pollen and nectar from wild flowers, field crops and hedgerows in and around Abingdon, Drayton, and Culham.

Handmade in Abingdon in small batches, we blend our own honey and beeswax together with organic skin-loving oils, butters and pure essential oils to create simple but effective skin care. We also supply hand poured, hand rolled and hand dipped beeswax candles. Beeswax qualities and characteristics have been known for centuries; beeswax candles are slow burning with a distinctive yet very subtle natural honey scent and, unlike their paraffin counterparts, do not emit black smoke.

Bless You Home Kitchen

"After a rough beginning as a new mum I missed having someone who could bake me something homey, nice and comforting. For me, home baking is not just a treat, but also brings me a sense of connection and nostalgia; store-bought sweets cannot be compared. From that experience I took my inspiration to set up my mini-bakery, trying to stay homey, seasonal and local as much as I can."
