A beekeeper. A honeybush tea farmer. One very good idea.
Olo started as a conversation between friends, born somewhere between the hives and harvests of South Africa’s Garden Route. A beekeeper and a honeybush tea farmer brought together by a simple belief: live life fully, tread lightly and what's real. One life only.
Our beginnings were humble. We brewed small batches using raw local honey, wild-harvested honeybush and green tea. Nothing strange, nothing artificial, and no ingredients you can’t recognise. Just nature doing what it has always done best.
The marriage of hives and harvests felt natural to us, and the product is exactly that. Honest, uncomplicated and rooted in the place we call home.
What you’re drinking is Jun Kombucha, the ancient golden cousin of kombucha, brewed with honey rather than sugar. We think it’s lighter, crisper and more effervescent, with a softer, more delicate character. We hope you agree.

Real luxury today is origin.
Our honey comes from hives scattered across the Garden Route, shaped by wild fynbos, changing seasons and the landscapes they call home. Our honeybush is harvested from mountain slopes where it grows naturally, carrying the distinctive character of South Africa’s Cape Floral Kingdom.
Together, these ingredients create a drink that reflects its origins. Wild, vibrant and unmistakably South African. Our hope is that Olo tastes as wonderful as the place it comes from.
Before kombucha, there was Jun. A fermented tea traditionally brewed with green tea and raw honey rather than black tea and sugar. Often referred to as the “champagne of kombucha”, Jun is known for its lighter, crisper and more effervescent character, with delicate floral notes and a naturally smooth finish.
At Olo, we brew our Jun Kombucha using raw honey, carefully selected teas and time-honoured fermentation methods. Nothing unnecessary. Just honest ingredients transformed into something refreshing, delicious and alive with flavour.
