Ongi | Product Design
types of fermented foods and have unique traditions. Fermentation rituals and recipes get passed down to people’s offsprings. What if we could also gain comfort by preserving the microbiome of the family members when you are abroad and away from them? Ongi, which means warmth in Korean, is a fermentation kit for brewing Kombucha that encourages fermentation as a ritual. The kit includes a fermentation crock and Identitea tea bags made out of dehydrated Scoby. The Scoby used to brew Kombucha is a symbiosis of hand yeast of a family member and genetically modified bacteria that expresses a gene which increases serotonin production. The tea bag can be used to reactivate the scoby and brew more Kombucha or soaks it into your tea bath routines.
