What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based drink that many drink 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 cost of such studies. There are many centuries of popular stories supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold in stores 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 often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not a true mushroom. It slowly grows on the surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of numerous):

Testimonial - General Health, Skin Health: "I discovered kombucha about 10 years ago. I was 6ft, 150 lbs, coffee drinkin smoker. after drinking kombucha for a couple of weeks I quit drinking coffee. 2 months after I quit smoking. I drank kombucha for about 6 months and gained 30 lbs of healthy body mass. For a while I was drinking a pint a day. I craved it so much. as my health improved the craving for it deminished and I lost interest in the sunday tea making ritual. Now I find myself craving it again. I have been trying to find a new source for a while and came across this site. It is great to see something like this available. If kombucha isn't the turning water into wine story then I dont know what is. I discovered that the strongest tea is a great cold sore remedy, and that an old kombucha whipped up in the blender makes the greatest hand and body lotion. One aplication will give 2 to 3 days of dry skin relief. and its free..!!! No wonder doctors or pharmacutical companies won't even look at it. Well that is my 2 cents worth. Time to order a new baby and find the old pickle bottles. I can taste it now :) ... D.R.M."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

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

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for over 2000 years and is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the USA, it is a lot cheaper 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 beverage provided it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you make 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 produces a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

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

Kombucha Tea is a fermented beverage and , but then again some few people may be sensitive to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or itch.

The tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long in which case it becomes more sour. 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 be foolish to do, drinking very large amounts of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common such molds are harmless but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem is easily prevented by keeping the brewing jar properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most prescribed medications.

There is nothing that is dangerous about this remarkable tea; it is a delicious and safe beverage that can help to improve health!
