Celebrating 2012 into 2013 one event at the time
Curating an upcoming event at YBCA in San Francisco gave us a chance to hang out with Tommy Lau (photographer) and Maureen Dixon (Communications manager) the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
The photo shoot was easy and fun and we topped it off with a dinner at Tom's college boyfriend Tyler MacNiven's "West Of Pecos" south western inspired restaurant, our go to dinner place in the Mission on Valencia and 16th.
The art event "ConVerge" on Thursday, January 17, 4-8pm in the lobby of YBCA adjacent to the 'small room for big ideas', is the heart and brain child of Katya Min, Senior Program manager at YBCA.
We love these peeps and also the original intention of the YBCA in San Francisco to be a showcase and gathering spot for residents and visitors of every stripe and strokes.

- White Flower, in a base of herb and green teas, we add jasmine, elderberry flowers and orange blossoms plus organic cane sugar which is the basic 'food' for the kombucha 'scoby*' culture
- Amber Rose, in a base of black teas like assam, darjeeling, Pu-err, herbal like roibois plus tea rose buds and petals with the added organic cane sugar which feeds the kombucha 'scoby*' culture
- The two fruit flavors are seasonal: In spring and summer we brew Pomegranate Lime; Fall and winter sports the all American Concorde Grape
- * scoby stands for: synergistic colony of beneficial yeasts (and bacteria like yogurt,kefir have)
- kombucha beverage is non-alcoholic at about 0.5%

Indu Kline, of "Feeding people with Love" had her food booth set up and served lovely Indian comfort food which even my dog Malibu loved.
Moriah Hart, had her pottery set up and was making dragons live at her booth.
William Hugel, a first timer offered original children's stories hand bound in Japanese silk books, such a cool addition to the scene...
David Mintim set up his artisan glass decorations and Dan Hodkinson hung out helping Ninja style ever present as needed.
Kombucha flavor today was white flower, a blend of green tea, Jasmin and orange blossoms...last bottle today, before the next batch is hatched, bottled and ready to serve.
We had to set up lights at 4:40pm and the magic happened right around that sunset and christmas lightss switch over...coming to the Bazaar is a MUST if you are in the area of Adeline and MLK way in South Berkeley.
It's just the coolest awesomest space with some amazing artist peeps.

23MONKEYTREE KOMBUCHA COMES IN THREE FLAVORS
My name is Julia Lazar and I love to brew kombucha for my family, friends and global community.
In order for me to refine and prefect any food product it is important to pick a choice and then go deeper.
When I started out as a kombucha micro brewess, I was looking for "my" flavors...what tastes good to me?
After a couple of years of testing, experimenting with ingredients, finding suppliers, creating a clean sanctuary in which to keep the brewing tanks and bottling area, here are the results:
AMBER ROSE
...a mix of organic, fair trade black teas fermented and not, rose petals from organic suppliers, organic evaporated cane juice, fresh water and a ton of loving attention to find the right timing to bottle, chill and distribute the batch. This goes for each flavor
POMEGRANATE - LIME
..a blend of fresh and concentrated fruit juices, lemon, lime and pomegranate, water and organic cane sugar. I use no tea for my blend here.
WHITE FLOWER
...the current nectarian star of the trio, a flavor and elixir that came together after many attempts to brew kombucha that blows my own mind and thrills my subtle palate. A mix of organic fair trade white & green tea, herbs which I keep in proprietary confidence, Jasmine and orange blossoms, water and organic cane sugar.
The culture I use has the quality of "Santosha", the Sanskrit word for contentment that comes from silence, simplicity and connection. I developed it over the last 11 years and it has been my great goo fortune to be able to keep it thriving as a family member...OK, that's pretty deep, but it does take care, awareness and intention to keep a culture like our 23Monkeytree kombucha culture healthy and happy.
My goal is to have 23Monkeytree kombucha poured in super upscale restaurants as well as at live bazaars and art events.
Drop me line in the comments section or come by and visit my weekly kombucha bar in Berkeley, on 3192 Adeline Street, at the Firehouse Live Bazaar. Noon to 6pm.
I also pour samples and cups at the Firehouse Art openings at Gallery North, every second Friday on 1790 Shattuck Avenue, in Berkeley, CA. 7 to 9pm.
