The Gutsy Captain Kombucha Original

The Gutsy Captain Kombucha is a prominent brand in the fermented beverage market, known for its focus on organic, raw, and living green tea drinks. The brand was founded in Portugal by Mário Cruz and Mafalda Rodrigues-Coutinho, who were inspired by their travels and the health benefits of fermented foods.

The production facility is located in Portugal, where the beverage is traditionally fermented using natural ingredients. In 2021, the brand gained significant international backing when a majority stake was acquired by Beverage Idco Services S.A., though the founders remained involved in the company's growth and vision. The brand is a leader in the European kombucha market, distributing to over 30 countries and maintaining a strong presence in the health-conscious and organic food sectors.
