Buchi beverages may be deliciously complex, but thanks to a new subscription program, enjoying glasses of kombucha and kefir soda has never been so simple. City Editor Laura (that’s me 👋) had the pleasure of sampling the subscription service, and in just a month’s time I’m feeling healthier, rejuvenated, and empowered to choose better daily rituals.

Wanna welcome some wild and wonderful fermentation into your life, too? Here’s how you can Try This.

What we tried (with pricing):

The Build a Box offering allows local AVL folks to select two flavors (for a total of 24 eight ounce cans) per shipment, starting at $22.10 per case. With recurring deliveries, you can pick between receiving a refill every two, four, or eight weeks. The only hard part? Settling on which flavors (they’re all so creatively refreshing), but I ultimately went for Fire and Holiday.

Don’t live in Asheville but still want Buchi deliveries? Good news: The subscription service is also available for non-local folks in the greater NC + SC areas, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia + Florida, starting at $32.30 per case.*

Bonus: You can get $15 off your subscription with code AVLTODAY15, or $10 off a one time order with AVLTODAY10 through the end of the month.

What makes it special:

The recipe. The flavors are so bubbly and spectacular — brimming with living probiotics, cultures, and digestive enzymes. Buchi ingredients are carefully sourced from the finest purveyors of fair trade organic teas, fruits, spices, and medicinals — and you can absolutely taste the difference.

What we’re still talking about:

The wellness benefits. When you get in the habit of drinking a Buchi — instead of that third cup of coffee or after work beer — your body notices. After a month of making that change, my gut felt stronger and more balanced, and my energy levels shot up.

True story: I was so inspired by the health impacts that I ordered my mom a subscription for Christmas.
