brewing projects at home. When he
decided to give up alcohol, Pastuk
turned to kombucha for his home
brewing projects, and it soon grew
into a fully-fl edged business.
Pastuck is committed to a brew
that is not only delicious and
nutritious, but made with local
ingredients.
“I wanted to stay away from
tropical flavours, because they’re
not sourced here in Canada,”
said Pastuck. “There are so many
amazing plants and herbs growing
here that people need to experience.”
Prism has also teamed up with
Cornelia Bean’s Bob Krul on a new
project: the Boreal Wildcraft Tea
Company. The company works
cooperatively with local wildcrafters
to handpick and process herbs and
berries in an ethical manner, in order
to minimize its carbon footprint
while connecting the land with its
people.
“I’m now able to create custom tea
blends that no one else has access to,”
said Pastuck.
Prism has been releasing a
new flavour every season since
its inception. Chaga Chai, made
with Chai tea and extract of chaga
mushrooms, has become a winter
staple. Prairie Wildfl ower, a blend of
elderfl ower, elderberry, organic rose
and chamomile, is another top seller.
Both blends are organically grown.
“There’s something to be said for
staying local in terms of kombucha,”
said Pastuck. “If it’s made locally, it’s
going to be a lot fresher.”
Wolseley Kombucha is available
by the glass at Boon Burger and
Circle Kitchen, and by the growler
at Generation Green. Single serve
beverages will soon be available
across Winnipeg Sobeys and Safeway
locations. Prism Kombucha products
are available at approximately 50
retailers and restaurants throughout
Winnipeg including all Vita Health
locations.
