what is honest kombucha?

May 27, 2010

Honest Kombucha is a cultural experience; from the uniquely tangy taste, and its ancient roots in Russia and China, to the probiotic cultures floating in each bottle. Once referred to as “elixir of life,” the health benefits of kombucha have been enjoyed by many cultures for centuries.

Honest Kombucha is organic, Fair Trade Certified™ black tea fermented with active cultures of bacteria, yeasts and sugar that feed on the caffeine and tannins from the tea.

Honest Kombucha is harvested when the raw bacteria cultures are at their peak, resulting in active enzymes, polyphenols and organic acids (like gluconic acid and glucuronic acid), which are believed to aid in digestion and support a healthy G.I. tract.

And best of all Honest Kombucha is now in every sweetgreen. So check it out for yourself!

We celebrated the launch of the Sweetflow Mobile this past Saturday with a Summer Block Party behind Sweetgreen Dupont. We partnered with friends over at online  mag Brightest Young Things, our favorite beverage Honest Tea, our official Sweetflow Mobile clothing sponsors DURKL, and the freshest breakdancers in town – Urban Artistry, for quite the kickoff to what is going to be an epic summer! DJ Gavin Holland provided some funky breakbeats to set the mood and there was unlimited yogurt, wraps and Honest Tea for anyone who came to party.

sweetgreen dupont grand opening party

April 8, 2009

The sweetgreen team celebrated the grand opening of our second store in Dupont Circle this past week. We were joined by friends and family from LA, NYC, Dallas and DC (thank you to all who came out to support!). We started the night at sweetgreen and the transformed adjacent space, with a cocktail party and salad/yogurt tasting. Organic vodka was provided by Reyka (mixed by our friends over at Honest Tea) and our friend Kirk Wiles donated some unbelievable wine from his new winery Paradise Springs. To really get the party going we flew out DJ Grant Shapiro from LA to spin at the event.
