Even though down here in the Channel Islands, life is looking a little bit more normal, we’re missing winter-sun breaks and our friends and families across the world. It’s going to be an unusual Christmas, that’s for sure, but we’re wondering if there might actually be a little more ‘peace on Earth’ than usual this year as everyone takes Christmas a little bit easier than the usual festive blow out.   Kombucha at the Christmas table 2020 has seen us all a little more focused on...
