About Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based beverage 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 cost of such studies. There are many centuries of popular accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available commercially but can easily be prepared 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" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly forms on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of dozens and dozens):

Testimonial - Diabetes: "I am a middled aged Type I insulin dependent diabetic, female. I first learned of kombucha tea through my sister who is an RN. I tried it. I was absolutely astounded to see that my need for insulin dropped considerably almost immediately, like the next day. And as long as I stayed on the tea, my body needed to be injected with less insulin. For those of you who don't know, the less insulin you have to inject, the healthier your body is. This past weekend I had company. We took an out-of-town train tour of my state. I didn't drink kombucha tea. What happened? Blood sugar levels went up! I got right back on kombucha tea and am now back on low need for insulin. This is for me something to shout about... M.B."

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The FDA has stated that this remarkable tea to be a safe beverage if it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but some few people may be sensitive to any number of things. An allergic is usually just a skin reddening or a minor.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is allowed 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 huge quantities of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking huge quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not common. Most common household food molds are not harmful but they can spoil the taste of the tea.
