Mia Kombucha was formed by the merger of two Lombard artisanal producers (Mia from Varese and Revolucha from Como) and was born out of a project that began during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. The company produces kombucha in four flavors (Original, Raspberry, Lemon, and Ginger) using only organic teas (Gunpowder and Rukeri) and follows traditional artisanal methods in a laboratory in Induno Olona (Varese). Current production capacity is about 10,000 liters per month (over 30,000 cans), and distribution is focused mainly in Northern Italy across retail and HORECA channels.
