Plant Academy is proud to partner with Freya from Fix8 for a special masterclass as part of our Focussed Fermentation course. This class is open to everyone to join to get a taster of the course.

Fix8 is a naturally buzzing kombucha, hand-crafted in South London. Founded in 2018 by Freya Twigden, a woman on a mission to celebrate kombucha beyond a simple health drink.

In this special masterclass Freya will cover:

  • Her story from a microbrewery in her parents’ London flat to a booming business

  • How to make a commercial business from Kombucha 

  • Scaling up your production

  • Selecting flavours and sourcing ingredients 

  • How to find your unique selling point and market your product

  • PLUS share some exciting and innovative kombucha recipes for you to try at home

Fix8 now works with independent coffee shops, restaurants, and cocktail bars shaking up both the day and night drinks menu. Available in 3 delicious flavours: Triple Ginger, Strawberry Tulsi, Citrus Saffron.

Freya Twigden is the Founder and Head Fermentalist at Fix8. After graduating from Edinburgh University with a First Class degree in Politics, she quickly eschewed a career in the city and turned her parents' London flat into a kombucha microbrewery. Since then, she has travelled the world to meet kombucha makers and worked in one of the world's most forward-thinking fermentation hubs in Berkeley, California, before launching her own brand Fix8 in 2018. As a qualified yoga teacher, she is passionate about combining her love of food, drink, and wellness with a positive purpose.
