Flying Eagle Kombucha

Flying Eagle Kombucha sells five core flavors of kombucha, a fermented, probiotic sparkling tea, as well as various seasonal flavors and pickled vegetables.

Based in Ft. Myers, Flying Eagle is in its inaugural year at the Marco Island Farmers’ Market, according to company rep Christine Costello, who says the biggest selling point of kombucha is its health benefits. “In short, it creates a healthy gut microbiome, which in turn leads to better serotonin production,” she says. “You have better digestion, more energy, a natural mood lift, and overall, just better well-being.”

According to Costello, Flying Eagle’s Pineapple Tepache flavor – brewed with pineapple, ginger, turmeric and cinnamon - is her number-one seller at the market. “I grossly underestimated how much of this stuff the Marco Island people drink,” she says. “I’ve run out of it every week.”

“Brewed with balance and the highest intentions” is the slogan that appears on all of Flying Eagle’s packaged Kombucha drinks, a mindset that guides the company in all its efforts, says Costello. “We’re very passionate about health and wellness,” she says. “We deeply care about people’s well-being. We’ve seen how our product can change people’s lives.”
