About:
4Hearts was founded in Boring Oregon in February of 2019. The founders and spouses, Emilie Karas and Ellie Johnson have a long history of fermentation and health. They have been personal trainers, yoga instructors, and nutritionists. They owned a fitness center from 2007-2014. They started home brewing in 2009, made yogurt, sauerkraut, hard cider, and even have tried their hand at distilling! In 2016 they started making kombucha. They had always been avid kombucha drinkers, but decided it was time to make their own. They desired a lighter flavor and a lower sugar option than what was available on the market. After playing around with different teas, sugars, and flavors they created a unique recipe that they and all their friends loved! Then the flavoring began. With a background in brewing, distilling, and cocktails they crafted unique, balanced delicious combinations using real ingredients. In 2018 the business plan was written and 4Hearts Kombucha was born.
4Hearts is “Adventure Ready” kombucha! We sell our kombucha in 16oz cans (not glass bottles). Cans are light-weight, portable, and allowed everywhere -- even the pool! We ferment with 100% organic, loose-leaf green tea. This gives us a lighter, more vibrant flavor when compared to black tea kombucha. Next, we add our flavors through infusion rather than juice or artificial flavorings. This limits the addition of sugar after fermentation, making us one of the lowest sugar contents on the market. Everyone involved in 4Hearts Kombucha loves kombucha and brings that love into their work and the creation of our product. We pride ourselves in attention to detail and make sure each batch is delicious, healthy, and perfectly fermented. We select the highest quality organic ingredients. Our unique and delicious flavors keep customers coming back for more!
Why 4Hearts Kombucha Loves Farmers Markets:
Farmers’ markets allow us a way to directly communicate with consumers. We love to know our fans and we love to build a relationship with them. It also gives us the opportunity as a small growing business to sell directly to consumers, which is a great way for us to grow!
Why 4Hearts Kombucha Supports Farmers Markets:
Supporting the markets allows us to build a local customer base in each market area. Being at the markets means other vendors succeed too. The more vendors, the more people, and the more local businesses can thrive.
4Hearts Kombucha’s Favorite Thing About Farmers Markets:
For us, it is getting to sample our kombucha to new customers. Especially those who have disliked kombucha in the past. Being there when they try our light delicious kombucha is so great!
Favorite Market Recipe:
We love using some of our citradora kombucha as a dressing on a cucumber & tomato salad. We grab some fresh cucumbers and ripe tomatoes at the market and dice them up, then toss them in our kombucha. Top that with a little salt and pepper and you have a refreshing, flavorful, and healthy salad!
