Kombucha may have been around for a couple of thousand years, but Waynesboro’s Blue Ridge Bucha is focused on keeping it fresh with flavors like Elderberry Lime and Ginger Hibiscus—and there’s “hard ‘bucha” for the over-21 crowd. This family-run business, founded in 2010, is committed to promoting the health benefits of the probiotic-packed fermented tea, nicknamed an “extraordinary elixir.” The organic brews are made with real fruit juices and herbs. The result: bright, punchy flavors that have the added benefits of improving gut health. BlueRidgeBucha.com
