HI, WE’RE RISE.

Since 2008, we’ve been producing kombucha for the forward-thinking consumer.

Our fanatical approach in the lab and our passion for working with nature allows us to create a certified organic kombucha that tastes great and is anything but basic. Our better-for-you beverages are as prescribed by nature, nurturing our bodies and delighting our taste buds.

Our devotion to crafting the best-tasting kombucha is captured in each and every flavour, which is meticulously quality controlled, tested and approved by our passionate team before hitting the shelves.

Better food for more, a better life for all ✌️

2008

EVERYTHING
STARTS SOMEWHERE

Founded by two friends, David Côté and Mathieu Gallant, RISE was born under the name of Crudessence Kombucha. Three OG flavours, Hibiscus & Rose Hips, Fresh Ginger and Lemongrass, hit grocery stores’ shelves.

2009

LOCAL
DARLINGS

The demand for the delicious flavours of RISE Kombucha allowed the company to grow and move from a small kitchen to a loft in the iconic Mile End of Montreal.

New Flavour alert:

Blueberry & Maple!

2010

OUR BOTTLES
ARE RISING…

Crudessence Kombucha (soon to be RISE) becomes the first kombucha brewer in North America to release their instantly popular 1L bottles.

Why Rise? Honour our aspirations and the energy needed to accomplish our goals and look forward to the potential to elevate ourselves and those around us.

2012

Allow Us To
Reintroduce
Ourselves:

Crudessence Kombucha becomes RISE Kombucha, and in honour of the new branding, two new flavours are launched:

Mint & Chlorophyll
Rose & Schizandra

2014

MAKING
MOVES

RISE relocates from Mile End to St-Leonard, which allows them to further their production with a bigger facility.

2018

RISE BY
LIFTING OTHERS

A project backed by a considerable investment by Lyra Growth Partners which allows the production facility to triple in size. RISE keeps it local by buying bottles from a Montreal manufacturing company.

2019

NOURISH
TO FLOURISH

RISE launches two exciting new flavours:

Lychee & Jasmine
Orange & Turmeric

And limited-edition flavours, Rosemary & Elderflower and Apple & Cinnamon.

THINKING

2021

NEW PACKAGING, SAME GREAT TASTE

Filled with living cultures, antioxidants and organic acids. Not your basic kombucha.

2021

2 NEW CLASSIC FLAVOURS

Our two newest Classic flavours have been begging to be released since 2017 when our R&D team began work on Lychee & Jasmine and Orange & Turmeric.

More recently, we reworked these flavours to tweak them, make the colours vibrant and unique. Did you know that peaches and mangoes are blue? We kid! Peach & Mango is naturally blue from spirulina.

These flavours are an ode to vacation, escape and celebrating.

2022

Introducing…

RISE embarked on its newest adventure,
and no, it wasn’t kombucha!

Our team has been working behind the scenes on a new brand, a first for RISE outside of Kombucha, solidifying our commitment to offering a variety of better-for-you beverages while never compromising on taste!

Taking the most beneficial and delicious ingredients, we created a line of sparkling adaptogenic beverages you can enjoy while caring for your body and mind.

Live well.
Adapt better.
