What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based drink that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such medical studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available in stores but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also most often referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It slowly grows on the surface of the fermenting tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of many):

Testimonial - Thanks!: "Thanks to Kombucha America for two very healthy starter cultures and a defined instruction on how to grow. The taste is beautiful, and while mine was brewed in black tea, my friend grew hers in green tea. We left each one for the recommended seven days and budda-boom! I'm hoping to see the benefits that may result for my friend who has fibromyalgia... A.M."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because they have heard that some fungi are toxic or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom it is not toxic. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for over two millennium and is now being widely sold in health food in the U.S., far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The F.D.A. has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink provided it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. Any food that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

No one has died from drinking properly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for over 2000 years. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but some few people could be allergic to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a reddening of the skin or a minor.

The tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long to a more sour condition. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to large amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking huge quantities of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common such molds are not harmful but they can ruin the taste of the tea. This minor problem is easily prevented by keeping the fermenting tea properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
