One hot summer morning, the Aquela Kombucha team was deep into a long production day. The heat was heavy, slowing every move. During lunch, head brewer Gabriel showed up with his latest experiment: a lightly sparkling tea, cooled and clean, with natural caffeine to lift the body and clear the mind. They mixed it, tasted it, and felt it. From that simple moment, Hey Kay began. What followed were almost two years of after-hours trials, quiet tweaks, shared sips. No plan, just instinct, until something new took a shape, with a life of its own.
