Our Ancestors Were Gut Health Gurus
Let’s accept the fact—our ancestors were way cooler than we give them credit for. Long before probiotics became a buzzword and kombucha hit the shelves of every trendy café, people understood their gut health like a close friend. They fermented everything: vegetables, grains, tea. They didn’t need modern supplements to stay healthy—they had Kanji and Kombucha.
These two ancient fermented beverages, brewed in tradition and bubbling with health benefits, deserve a long-overdue comeback. Though they come from different corners of the world, Kanji and Kombucha share a single mission: better digestion, stronger immunity, and delicious flavor.
What Is Fermentation, Anyway?
Fermentation is an age-old process where beneficial microbes break down sugars, enhance flavors, and transform ordinary ingredients into digestive gold. In other words, fermentation creates food and drinks that are alive—full of probiotics that support a healthy gut.
From preserving seasonal produce to crafting immune-boosting tonics, fermentation has always been part of our cultural DNA. But somehow, in the age of processed food and excess sugar, we forgot these natural gut health drinks. It’s time to bring them back.
Meet Kanji: The Indie Fermented Beverage
Kanji is the kind of drink your elders might have asked you to sip during winter while whispering, “This will keep your belly warm and the cold away.” They weren’t wrong.
What is Kanji?
- A North Indian probiotic drink traditionally made with black carrots
- Fermented naturally into a dark ruby liquid with a bold, tangy taste
- Vegan, low-calorie, and caffeine-free
- Rich in antioxidants linked to reducing inflammation and improving vision
Kanji promotes digestion, supports gut health, and keeps you feeling energized through winter. This earthy, spicy drink isn’t new—it’s just been patiently waiting to steal the spotlight again.
Kombucha: The Tea of Immortality
On the other side of the world, Kombucha originated over 2,000 years ago in China, known as the Tea of Immortality. Today, it’s the fizzy probiotic drink that has taken over yoga studios and co-working spaces everywhere.
What is Kombucha?
- Made by fermenting sweetened tea with a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast)
- Naturally carbonated with a tangy, slightly sour flavor
- Rich in antioxidants and B vitamins
- Contains a modest amount of caffeine for natural energy
Kombucha isn’t just a beverage—it’s a lifestyle. It’s proof that fermented drinks can be delicious, functional, and a little bit fancy.
Kanji vs. Kombucha: Different Vibes, Same Gut Goals
Though they look and taste different, Kanji and Kombucha have the same purpose: to restore balance in your digestive system and support your health naturally.
- Kanji is earthy, spicy, and caffeine-free—a winter-friendly tonic with deep cultural roots.
- Kombucha is effervescent, bright, and energizing—a global wellness favorite.
At MAVI’s, we couldn’t choose between the local hero and the global sensation—so we decided to offer both.
