ELEVATING YOUR DAILY SIP

Bid farewell to the blandness of water, the sweetness of sodas & juices and the artificiality of diet drinks!

 

Welcome to UMAMI BREW.

Inspired by his health-conscious athlete girlfriend at that time and fueled by a personal mission to overhaul his own unhealthy habits, Cyriac embarked on a quest for a naturally invigorating drink. Frustrated by the lack of options in the market, he decided to brew his first batch of Kombucha in 2019.
From its beginnings as a home project in a small apartment, UMAMI BREW has blossomed into a thriving enterprise located on a sprawling farm. Here, many of the premium ingredients for their kombucha are sourced, and the farm also serves as the backdrop for brewery tours, tasting sessions, and pop-ups featuring collaborations with renowned chefs and restaurants.
UMAMI BREW has kept its focus on both health and flavor. Unlike traditional health drinks that sacrifice taste, each flavor has been meticulously crafted, unlocking the elusive taste of umami that transcends the ordinary and leaves you satisfied. It's the perfect companion for those embarking on the path of clean eating and drinking.
Committed to crafting a beverage free from artificial flavors, preservatives, and chemicals, UMAMI BREW leads with innovation in an industry dominated by the mundane. Today, we proudly present a 100% natural drink with an impressive eighteen-month shelf life at room temperature—a rarity in the beverage world.

 

FOUNDER - CYRIAC THOMAS

Cyriac Thomas is a serial profession changer starting from being a stock broker in San Francisco to a failed attempt at film making in Los Angeles and then consulting in New York. Staying true to his philosophy of wanting to do everything in this one life he thrives on the idea of starting over.
Being an outsider to the F&B industry, luck had its way when his kombucha happened to cross paths with the owners of a buzzing new restaurant in the city. Once they got onto the UMAMI BREW train, it didn’t take long for others to follow suit.
With a well-received product in hand and a growing demand for umami brew, Cyriac set up a commercial kombucha brewery in Pune. His mission? To revolutionize the market by replacing sugary and artificial drinks with a healthier alternative. Today, UMAMI BREW graces the shelves of many prominent restaurants and health food cafes across the country. Embrace the umami revolution—it's not just a drink; it's an experience.
