What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such medical 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 spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly grows on the surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of dozens and dozens):

Testimonial - Skin abberation: "I sent a culture of the tea to my mum in the UK. She has been using it for about a year. A friend of her husband had a growth on his nose and his Dr. said it had to be removed. On the suggestion of my mum, he put a small piece of the "shroom" on a band aid at night for about a week. It disappeared without leaving a mark! The chap was astonished! Thank you Kombucha America... P. C."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because they have heard that some fungi are toxic or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not poisonous. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used for health improvement for over two millennium it is now being sold in food and health in the USA, it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has found this remarkable tea to be a safe beverage if it is prepared properly in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink and as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

No person has ever 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. 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 different things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or a minor.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is allowed 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 very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking huge amounts of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not common. Most common food molds are harmless but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem can be easily avoided by keeping the fermenting tea properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
