About Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the expense of such studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also most often referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It forms on the very surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of numerous):

Testimonial - Cancer: "You don't have to sell me on the power of the kombucha. i know it works and it is a gift from God literally. My mother passed away of cancer 8 yrs ago. they gave her 6 months to live. she never stopped smoking and drank heavily. Even so i got her to use the TEA and she started to go into remision, instead of living only 6 months she lived 4 yrs! and she only took maybe 8 ounces a day and sometimes missed a day or two...

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because they have heard that some mushrooms are toxic or they have been misinformed 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 for health improvement for over 2000 years it is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage if it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

Nobody has died from drinking properly prepared Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage 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 some few people could be allergic to any number of things. An allergic is usually just a minor skin blush or itch.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is allowed 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 quantities of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking large quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common food molds are not harmful but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea. This minor problem can be easily avoided by keeping the brewing jar properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
