Tap into the Power of Kombucha

Bulk kombucha provides a very attractive means of dispensing fresh carbonated kombucha tea while significantly decreasing packaging.

Our Tap Program

Katalyst Kombucha shared Hope & Thyme's post.

Our friends at Hope & Thyme will be moving the kegerator to Hudson Street Deli. Rejoice! You will still be able to get Kombucha on tap in Providence during their transition. All the best...Our last day open at 1577 Westminster will be Sunday, June 10.

Our remaining open hours are as follows:

Saturday 6/2 & Sunday 6/3: 10am-4pm
Monday 6/4: Closed
Tuesday 6/5 through Friday 6/8: 3-7pm
Saturday 6/9 & Sunday 6/10: 10am-4pm

Our perishable inventory is almost wiped out, but we still have bulk dry goods and household cleaners.
The photos here show the remaining inventory, and we are also selling off all fixtures, equipment, and supplies in the store.

If you have a Thyme Share, we encourage you to come in and purchase goods for the remaining balance. Contact us if you have any questions about your balance during our open hours, either in-person or call us at 401-654-4488.

In addition to the open hours above, we are available by appointment nearly any day or time, with a little bit of notice (there are several of us right in the neighborhood that can float over if someone wants to view equipment or other fixtures for sale). It is our main goal to ensure the items of value within the shop move to their next home where they can continue to be of use, so as to remain continuously conscious of the impact we have created by being consumers and retailers.

Kombucha on tap from Katalyst Kombucha will be living on at our sister shop, Hudson Street Deli, 4 blocks away at 68 Hudson Street. You will be able to bring your vessel into the deli and refill. Stay tuned for more info on other changes coming to Hudson Street Deli which will make it a destination for zero-waste to-go meals.

The first steps are underway to restructure Hope & Thyme as a cooperative and reform as a buying club. If you are interested in contributing to the runnings of the business and/or participating as a consumer in the cooperative, keep an eye out for an invitation to our first “town hall” type forum coming late June or early July.

Finally, we have two former-employees-turned-future-cooperative-owners who are looking to generate some part-time income to sustain themselves in this transition. If anyone has any leads on suitable work for a couple of folks with extensive background in retail, merchandising, buying, herbal supplements & wellness, or bookkeeping, please send some info our way.

Thank you to everyone who took a leap of faith and came on this journey with us. We are really sad that this incarnation of Hope & Thyme didn’t quite work out. A little ahead of our time, we’ve been told, but we are dedicated to the mission and finding a way for it to have its realization here in Providence.

“To transition to a circular economy requires using renewable resources. And the most renewable are the human energies of empathy, honesty, and integrity.” - Rob Peters ... See MoreSee Less
