meet the founder

Hi, I’m Patrick Switzer, co-founder of nÿcha.

Born and raised in Canada, I'm a world-champion skateboarder passionate about all things travel, adventure, togetherness, and fulfillment. When I’m not out chasing adrenaline, I love spending time with friends and family, sharing a great meal, and building our nÿcha community. For me, it’s all about those heartfelt connections and spreading the love through everything we do. Cheers to good vibes and great kombucha.

our story

Our kombucha journey kicked off in 2010 on the sunny California coast during a visit to my sponsor, Patagonia. As a world champion downhill skateboard racer, kombucha quickly became my secret weapon for peak performance and celebrating beautiful moments.

Fast forward to 2015, I brought my passion for kombucha to Switzerland, and that's when nÿcha was born. It's more than just a drink; it’s a key part of my health and wellness philosophy, and I’m so excited to share it with you all.

organic goodness

We use only the finest organic ingredients in our kombucha. Brewed with selected teas and natural flavours, our drinks are healthy, delicious, and free from harmful chemicals.

fair trade

We prioritise fair working conditions both locally and globally. Every ingredient and the entire production process meet fair trade standards.

swiss made

nÿcha kombucha is crafted in Switzerland by brewmasters who quite literally pour their passion into every bottle.

  • darjeeling green tea

    Our secret weapon? Darjeeling green tea from Teekampagne. Think of it as the champagne of teas, grown high up in the Himalayas. This tea is renowned for its superior quality and its unique blend of delicate yet complex flavours, making every sip of nÿcha kombucha truly distinctive.

  • kombucha culture

    The heart and soul of our brew: the kombucha culture (SCOBY). This living, breathing culture of bacteria and yeast works its magic, turning tea into a naturally sparkling, delicious beverage. With every sip of nÿcha, you’re tasting the perfect blend of art and science.

  • organic ingredients

    We don't just settle for good — we demand the best. We handpick suppliers who deliver top-tier organic ingredients. Whenever we can, we go local with
    Swiss suppliers. For international partners, our standards are sky-high. nÿcha is all about ingredients that are great for you and kind to the planet.
