Meet Tila Darshae: The Heart Behind Three Sisters Kombucha

At the vibrant crossroads of health, entrepreneurship, and community, Tila Darshae is carving out a niche with her business, Three Sisters Kombucha. Based in Fairfield, Ohio, Tila is on a mission to bring the health benefits of kombucha to her community while paying homage to her roots and family.

A Tribute to Family: The Birth of Three Sisters Kombucha

The name “Three Sisters” isn’t just a catchy brand—it’s a heartfelt tribute to Tila and her sisters. Growing up together, their shared experiences strengthened their bond, and this connection inspired Tila to create something that honors that relationship. While Tila’s younger sister, who recently returned from military service in Japan, helps behind the scenes, the business remains a deeply personal endeavor for Tila.

From Personal Health to Public Good

Tila’s journey into the world of kombucha began as a personal quest for health. Struggling with gut issues, inflammation, and bloating, Tila discovered kombucha in 2016 and found that it significantly impacted her well-being. This personal health transformation ignited her passion for kombucha, leading her to brew her own at home. Over the years, her love for this probiotic-rich beverage grew, eventually blossoming into the launch of Three Sisters Kombucha in the summer of 2024.

Serving the Community, One Sip at a Time

Tila’s approach to kombucha is as thoughtful as it is innovative. She’s committed to making this healthful drink accessible and appealing to everyone, especially those in underserved and minority communities. Understanding that kombucha can be an acquired taste, Tila offers familiar and approachable flavors like berry, encouraging people to try kombucha.

Her kombucha is available at various local markets, including the Fairfield Farmers Market and the iconic Finley Market in downtown Cincinnati. The latter, Cincinnati’s largest market, has been instrumental in helping small businesses like Three Sisters Kombucha grow, offering Tila both a platform and resources to expand her reach.

Beyond Kombucha: A Passion for Dance

While Tila is dedicated to her kombucha business, she’s also a passionate dance instructor. With a background in teaching both children and adults, Tila is launching an online dance program this fall. The program will focus on dance fitness that blends hip-hop with high-intensity interval training (HIIT). This program reflects Tila’s belief that fitness should be accessible, especially for busy parents who need flexible options to stay active.

A Business Built on Community and Resilience

Tila’s story is one of resilience and determination. Raised in a single-parent household, she learned early on the importance of hard work and self-reliance. These values are at the core of Three Sisters Kombucha, a business built to succeed and impact the community positively.

Tila already sees the fruits of her labor, with regular customers and positive reviews validating her efforts. She’s also excited about participating in the Finley Market New Business Program, which promises to be a significant step forward for her business.

Looking Ahead

As Tila continues to grow Three Sisters Kombucha, she remains focused on bringing healthy beverage options to her community. With her business still in its early stages, Tila is optimistic about the future and eager to see where this journey will take her.
