Question of the month; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it did not help to improve health why have millions of people have kept drinking it and brewing it, for over two thousand years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based drink that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data 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 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 most often referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It slowly forms on the surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of many):

Testimonial - Improved Health, Better Taste: "I did some research before I ordered from this website. I was very skeptical about the health claims, but I liked drinking Kombucha tea because I felt better after drinking a bottle. After making my first batch, I cannot drink the store bought Kombucha. Your personal (home brewed) batch tastes so much better and it has all of the benefits. The Kombucha tea helps me with any cravings during the day and I feel great. Try it out... Charlie"

Kombucha Tea safe?

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 it is not toxic. 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, far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The F.D.A. has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink provided it is correctly prepared in a clean manner 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 for Kombucha because it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

Nobody has died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for over 2000 years. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but some few people might be allergic to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a reddening of the skin 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 cannot 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 very large amounts of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common food molds are harmless but they can ruin 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."]
