My husband and I had a great time at Kombucha 101! We learned the basics and got to taste some delicious brew. We are definitely inspired to start making our own!

Mary's class was great. I liked that it was in her downtown loft apartment which was charming and inspiring. I would recommend her class to anyone interested in learning how to make Kombucha or interested in brushing up their skills. Class feedback was very useful as well.

LOVED this class!!! I learned loads and continue making kombucha even 2 years later. Would definitely recommend this to anyone interesting in starting off with kombucha. Bring a jar to get a starter scoby! Really helped me kick off the process.

The class was great! Mary's home is beautiful and she was well prepared for the class. She was so knowledgeable, and the samples were phenomenal!! I can't wait to start making my own :)

Very courteous and friendly. The class was very informational and any question we had was answered thoroughly. The class made what I thought would be a difficult task in kombucha tea brewing into a easy simple process. Excited and ready to start the process.

Mary did a great job of demonstrating how to make Kombucha at home. She was careful to point out safety measures which need to be taken and to give additional ideas for how to produce the tea effectively. I appreciated her willingness to open her home to strangers and found the class very relaxing and informative.

Great class and teacher. It's obvious Mary loves to share her knowledge and experience with others to make their lives better. I can't wait to start making my own kombucha.

Mary did a great job introducing us to the world of kombucha brewing. I stopped on my way home to buy supplies and already have a batch going!

Cool class! I learned a lot, the instructor made it easy and interesting. I'll never have to buy kombucha again! :)

What a delight the Kombucha 101 class is! Our teacher, Mary, was so good at making us feel comfortable. Excited to get started myself!

The class was very focused and informative, and the teacher very knowledgeable. A great start-to-finish primer on kombucha making--I enjoyed it very much!

Mary was an awesome instructor! She was super detailed, from telling us EXACTLY how to get into her apartment, suggesting where to park, what to bring, etc. Her place was perfect for teaching the class and she made sure to let us know that she had a cat (important since I'm allergic). She was fully prepared, abundantly experienced (she's taught this class more than 20 times) and extremely humble. Throughout the class she welcomed other people's info and experience and made sure to qualify everything she taught us by letting us know that this was just her interpretation and it's open to our own. She stressed safety, invention, fun, health and provided a thorough handout. In short, it was an awesome first experience for me with both Kombucha and Dabble! Thanks Mary.

Mary was a wonderful teacher. She illustrated the proper steps for Kombucha brewing from scratch so I can forge ahead on my own. All in one hour!

This was my first experience with dabble and I was pleasantly surprised. It seemed like a very long time between the time I signed up for the class and the time the location details were shared that I was nervous I had maybe been scammed. But then two days prior the details were given and all was well.

Mary was very knowledgeable about kombucha making. I'm excited to make my own soon.

Great introduction to a fool-proof method of making Kombucha tea. Mary was open to hearing ideas from group members who had been brewing KT at home, which added another welcome dimension to the learning experience. She has said she is willing to answer questions as we find our way, which I appreciate. Resources shared will provide further support. I am READY to brew!

I had never tried kombucha before this class, but some friends were interested in taking this class and I went along for the experience in learning something new. I found the class interesting, informative, and well presented. It was held in her home which was very clean and had lovely natural light. The instructor provided detailed handouts explaining the process at all stages - growing a scoby from scratch, ramping up to large batch production, and bottling/flavoring. I asked a lot of questions (A LOT!) and she was very helpful with all of her answers. I left with a baby scoby from the instructor and have been brewing my own kombucha ever since.
I had read about the process of making kombucha a few years prior, but it seemed foreign and a little scary to me (live fermentation!). The instructor broke the process down well and quelled my fears about taking on this process myself. I have been successfully making my own kombucha since taking this class. I love the creativity in making different flavored batches at a fraction of the cost of commercially bottled kombucha.

This is a great class to learn how to brew Kombucha. It is a small class which allows for questions, the ability to see a healthy scoby, and taste the homebrewed kombucha. I loved the ability to take home a scoby to be able to get started right away along with a printed handout for future reference.

The instructor was exceptional. It was a small class with varying levels of knowledge and she included everyone. We all left with a starter/Scoby (for purchase).

This was a fantastic overview of the world of kombucha. As a total beginner (I had only ever tried one bottle -- that was the extent of my kombucha experience), I found the class interesting and absolutely packed with great advice from an experienced kombucha brewer (and drinker). Importantly, Mary provided an article that she herself found to be a great foundational piece, told us of additional resources for any questions that may later arise, and indicated that she herself would be happy to be of guidance to any of her pupils. The class is taught in her kitchen in small groups, which means you feel individually engaged her and with the material. 10/10, absolutely recommended even if you don't end up interested in brewing your own, it's a unique topic!

Mary's class was excellent! I knew nothing about Kombucha when I walked in...and I now I know enough to make my own. Mary was prepared, timely and articulate. Providing an opportunity to take home our own "mother" to get started provided incentive for me to get started immediately..and I am!

Excellent class! I thought the information was presented clearly and I appreciated the ability to see the different stages of the process. I'd recommend the class the others.

Mary was great. She makes kombucha every week and shared her process in an easily accessible way. It was my first dabble experience and I will be back.

I am a visual learner and really needed to see the process. I got exactly what i needed with this class. I even took pictures to refer back to. I recommend!

The kombucha brewing experience was exactly what I was looking. Mary taught us how to make kombucha in one hour! This class saved me hours of research. I am so happy to now have the tools for myself. everything about the class was very easy from registration, location, and feeling competent to brew my won.
