Rooted was born in the middle of the 2020 pandemic, a year that goes down in history because it is the year that stopped in time.
There was no doubt that it was one more reason why we should move forward with our project to spread health and bring our kombuchas full of benefits to your home. It has been a daily challenge, but one that brings us immense pride. We have a premium product that is our foundation and that gives us the strength we need.
Our mission is to provide health and well-being through what nature offers us.
