People here make charcuterie, cheese, salsa and so much more, and sell them at the Farmers\u2019 Market. Many of them go on to become successful companies. <a href=\"http:\/\/justins.com\">Justin\u2019s<\/a>, an international nut butter brand, got its start at the Market. Kombucha? Plucky <a href=\"https:\/\/rowdymermaid.com\">Rowdy Mermaid<\/a> quickly grew from a kitchen recipe for the founder\u2019s daughter to a brand on shelves from Boulder to Austin to Baltimore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list of companies that went from idea to successful brand is long. It dominates a big part of Boulder\u2019s fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Blend It Yourself Tea Bar a Ku Cha Treasure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"908\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/mike-kenneally-x0t6DiAg118-unsplash-1024x908.jpg\" alt=\"A scattering of things needed to make DIY tea.\" class=\"wp-image-376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/mike-kenneally-x0t6DiAg118-unsplash-1024x908.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/mike-kenneally-x0t6DiAg118-unsplash-300x266.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/mike-kenneally-x0t6DiAg118-unsplash-768x681.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/mike-kenneally-x0t6DiAg118-unsplash-1600x1419.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">DIY tea blending is a Ku Cha House of Tea Tradition<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>To that end, when we opened Ku Cha House of Tea we understood people might enjoy custom blends, combinations of herbs and teas we develop in-house.

So we opened a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Blend%20Your%20Own%20Tea\/2450\">blending bar,<\/a> a station where guests choose from dozens of herbs, spices, roots, flowers and more to build their own teas. With the exception of just a few traditional Chinese teas that we include in the blending bar, everything in the bar is certified USDA organic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been a hit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, thousands of guests have come up with favorite combinations, through trial and error.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But none of them are flying blind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as a startup kombucha maker refers to experts for guidance on scobies and fermentation strategies, we at Ku Cha offer loads of guidance and tips for how to craft tea that suits guests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DIY tea comes with much guidance from <strong>Ku Cha House of Tea <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/loverna-journey-5kb0HwTHqTg-unsplash-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-373\" width=\"287\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/loverna-journey-5kb0HwTHqTg-unsplash-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/loverna-journey-5kb0HwTHqTg-unsplash-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/loverna-journey-5kb0HwTHqTg-unsplash-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/loverna-journey-5kb0HwTHqTg-unsplash-1600x2000.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We offer a lot of guidance for DIY tea blenders.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you love snowshoeing and Nordic skiing.
