What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been 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 sold commercially but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It 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 hundreds):

Testimonial - Hair Growth, Energy: "A few years back, at the age of 18, I had lost 50% of my hair in a period of one month! The doctor advised me to eat more meat, but I didn't because I wasn't a big meat-eater. Instead I went to the health food store and asked what to do. I was told to drink even 3-4oz of kombucha tea every morning on an empty stomach. I did, and within the first few months found that my hair was sprouting up like grass. Literally. I am sure this is what did it. It was the most dramatic result I had ever seen. Both my husband and I are drinking it, and my friends too. It also increases energy level... S.L."

Kombucha has been used for health improvement for over 2000 years and is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to very large amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking large quantities of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not common. Most common such molds are not harmful but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea.
