The second round of the Drink the Seasons’s boxes 📦 have been making their way to 🏡 doorsteps all round the country and we LOVE seeing our members enjoying it!! 😍 This box arrived with Zofia Page one of the founders in of the incredible Friends of the River Medway organisation just in time for their full team meeting recently and the special Rose and Mugwort Kombucha was shared and they raised a glass to us! We’ve also heard accounts of exceptionally vivid dreams which our Mugwort brews are increasingly known for.

Drink the Seasons is a way of supporting the reclamation of our drinking culture and creating regenerative livelihoods - the drinks are completely unique foraged and fermented co-creations with the earth and bio-diversity that is most abundant locally - to celebrate the phenomena of reciprocity and life by embracing the immense variety of the worlds of plants and microbes!!

Thank you to everyone that has supported this movement and joined since our crowdfunder - like our friends here Friends of the River Medway we are really happy to see it being loved 🥰🌳💚🍻

You can join Drink the Seasons via the link in our bio and every purchase supports our community interest company to do more work re-weaving people and culture with the land

We’re all set up at the incredible with the Old Tree Events team. A real honour to brew the drinks for this community and be celebrated as agro-ecological drinks makers to quench the thirst of the organic farmers in the UK !
Yesterday Thomas Daniell went on stage with Muji Forest Medicine and delivered a short talk and drinks tasting called awaking a thirst for -forestry. It was the beginning of a talk and workshop we want to develop to inspire people to stop buying mass-produced drinks and start revaluing what the land is offering us - the abundance of biodiversity that grows wherever peasants work!
This is the past and the future of our drinking culture..
Drink Forest Gardens!! 🍻💫🍻

SO PROUD of our town of LEWES for being the first council to publish the ROOTS (Right of our Trees) CHARTER. We are a botanical brewery that started here in 2013 and we are now based in the small village of Glynde, which is just a mile and a half away as the birds fly. We love our town, its flora and fauna, its rivers and its people. We make the best kombucha out of oak leaves that we locally in reciprocity with old trees. If we are able to make a profit as a community interest company we are committed to investing all of it in forestry restoration and agroforestry transition - our mission is brewing for biodiversity and fermenting a regenerative future. If you haven’t tried our drinks yet you can get them all over and special shout out to The Seasons Wholefoods | Organic | Sussex both in The Seasons Lewes and in
We want to live in a reforested world where trees of all shapes and sizes receive the love and praise they deserve… for giving us everything that they do.
We will be making and spreading the creation of drinks to celebrate trees standing for life…
