Our Story
—
In June 2015 Wild Tea Kombucha's bad-a$$ co-founder, Emily Baadsvik, discovered a new love and passion for kombucha while training and representing the Canadian National Bobsleigh Team at the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014. In September 2015 Emily met her side-kick, Wild Tea Kombucha's other co-founder and accomplished health inspector Brigette Freel.
Today the dynamic duo combine their enthusiasm and expertise in their Calgary, Alberta small-batch brewery to create delicious and approachable kombuchas that are naturally low in sugar. And while the team has expanded since Emily and Brigette took off with their new venture, Wild Tea Kombucha continues to create and reinvent the way we expect kombucha to taste, making the most delish, unpasteurized, naturally-fermented kombuchas on the market!

I'm a motorcycle-riding, adventure junkie with a Masters Degree in Environmental Health and Practice. I love all things food and travel, and when winter comes around you can either find me on a beach with a drink in hand, or snowboarding in the rockies.
If you could only pack one thing for a trip (besides clothing) what would it be?
My exercise gear, which includes a skipping rope and resistance bands. (Lame I know, I'm a fitness junkie! :))

Hi! I'm a graduate from Mount Allison University who loves the outdoors! I like snapping cheeky photos of my cats and enjoy a good glass of wine with friends over a fun board game.
If you had to be on a reality TV show, which one would you choose?
Never again! I was on 'Say Yes To The Dress' and it was torture...ha! I’d love to be on Ellen — she’s my hero! Or The Great British Bake Off!
