What do you get when two Springfield bankers swap balance sheets for bubbling jars of tea? Spring Branch Kombucha! đź«§

Joy Robertson sits down with Chris and Jessica Ollis to spill the (fermented) tea on how a basement experiment turned into one of the Ozarks’ favorite fizzy sips. From blueberry thyme to apple pie, these two built a kombucha brand that’s as bold as its flavors. They share how farmers markets turned into statewide distribution, how they survived (and thrived) through COVID with a pivot to cans, and why kombucha is winning over people looking for tasty non-alcoholic alternatives. Oh, and don’t miss the story of their “Ohana” flavor that raised thousands for Maui wildfire relief. 🌺

It’s bubbly, it’s feel-good, and it’s all brewed right here in the Ozarks. Pop a can, hit play, and join the fun! ✨
