Theonista
Theonista - Follow your Gut
Theonista is a premium health drink brand established in 2013. Since then, we've won 5 international awards for excellence in taste. While we are best known for pioneering kombucha commercially in South Africa, we have grown our range to also include truly healthy craft sodas, rooibos chai, organic teas, and home brew kits. We love creating products with clean, vibrant flavours that celebrate African botanicals and the healing potential of nature. One of our core values is "people over machines" meaning we use a truly artisan approach that focuses on small batches and fresh ingredients processed by hand by our mostly female team at our factory in Woodstock.

Theonista's internationally recognized excellence makes it a top choice among many top culinary and mixology professionals. Our wide range of flavour profiles is achieved via expert fermentation methods that yield the highest quality flavours and health benefits.
Ingredient Integrity
Our strict ingredient policy means we use real plants (teas, fruits, botanicals, spices, roots, herbs) and don’t use any colourants, flavourants, preservatives, or hidden chemical processing agents.
Truly Handmade
Our commitment to truly artisan methods not only yields the best quality and health benefits, it supports skill development and stewardship of traditional techniques in a modern context. All products are brewed in small batches and then, bottled, labelled, and packed by hand.
(Wo)man-Powered
Theonista has remained solely run by our female founder and it is staffed by a team composed almost entirely of women who have been with us from the very beginning.
