In 1995, Millennium Products founder GT Dave's life came crashing down when he heard that his mother had just been diagnosed with a highly aggressive form of breast cancer. After a week of emotional turmoil, he was relieved to find out that her breast cancer had not spread and that the pungent tasting cultured tea that she had been drinking was part of the reason why. (Read her story.)
GT was touched by how Kombucha had helped his mom and was inspired to begin making it from the kitchen of his house. Being only a teenager he had no business plan, just a desire to share this gift with anybody who could benefit from it.
Fast forward nearly 10 years. GT's Kombucha has grown from its humble beginnings, where GT would hand-deliver his just-bottled Kombucha to local health food stores, to a full-fledged company that makes over a dozen different varieties of Kombucha products distributed throughout most of the U.S. Although the company has experienced some incredible growth, GT remains committed to expanding the company gradually and organically, never sacrificing quality for the sake of profits.
