Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based drink that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such medical studies. There are many centuries of popular accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold 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 often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It grows on the 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 - General Health, Vitality: "I drank Komucha tea for nearly 10 years and what a blessing it was to me healthwise. I had very high energy levels, didn't have to see a doctor apart from routine medical check ups nor take prescription drugs. I always took the culture with me wherever I travelled to in order not to have to go for too long without drinking it. However I went to work abroad for a year and a half and took it with me but got careless and forgot the culture on my return to Canada.

Back in Montreal, I contacted all my friends I had introduced to the stuff for the culture but no one had it any longer. They had all gotten so lazy to carry on brewing the tea and thrown the scobies away.

As a result I was without the stuff for five months and it was one health problem after the other till this day. Psoriasis, hair loss, acne, flu, which I never had since I started drinking the tea, low energy levels and fatigue.I moved to Vancouver recently and was fortunate enough to find someone in the area over the internet from whom I bought the culture to start all over again.

It really worked for me and after my experiences over the last 5 months I don't think I could ever go without drinking the stuff again. Never! ... S.K."
