About Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal stories supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available commercially but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also most often referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not a true mushroom. It forms on the surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of many):

Testimonial - Skin abberation: "I sent a culture of the tea to my mum in the UK. She has been using it for about a year. A friend of her husband had a growth on his nose and his Dr. said it had to be removed. On the suggestion of my mum, he put a small piece of the "shroom" on a band aid at night for about a week. It disappeared without leaving a mark! The chap was astonished! Thank you Kombucha America... P. C."

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because are aware that some fungi are toxic or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom it is not toxic. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

Kombucha Tea has been used for health improvement for over two millennium it is now being sold in food and health in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The F.D.A. has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink if it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha because it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

No person has died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for thousands of years. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

Kombucha Tea is a fermented beverage and , but some few people may be allergic to any number of things. An allergic is usually just a skin reddening or itch.

The tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long then it becomes more acidic. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you drink large amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking large amounts of anything is usually not a good idea.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not common. Most common food molds are not harmful but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea. This limited problem is easily prevented by keeping the fermenting tea properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most all prescription medications.

There is nothing that is naturally dangerous about this beneficial beverage; it is a great tasting drink that can help to improve your health!
