About Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such studies. There are several centuries of popular accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available in stores but can easily be prepared 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" but it is not a true mushroom. It slowly forms on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of hundreds):

Testimonial - Quality: "I have been brewing KT for a few months. My supply grew mold so I had to start over with a new culture. I ordered 4 from Kombucha America. When I used the cultures to brew KT the results were great!! None of my other brews, from mushrooms I had ordered from other sites, could compare with the great taste and effervesense of my new brew. It tastes delicious!! The scobies that I have grown are very solid and much thicker than ones I grew before. I am very pleased with my order and thank you for a great product... C.M.S."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because they know that some fungi are poisonous or they have been misinformed about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not poisonous. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha Tea has been used as a health remedy for over two millennium and is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores 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 stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink provided it is prepared properly in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. Any food that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage 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 prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for thousands of years. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but then again some few people could be sensitive 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 cannot 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 very large quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not common. Most common household food molds are harmless but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea. This minor problem is easily avoided by keeping the fermenting tea properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most all prescription medications.

There is nothing that is inherently dangerous about this amazing tea; it is a great tasting drink that can will improve health!
