Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such medical studies. There are many centuries of popular accounts telling of 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 produces the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It slowly grows on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of hundreds):

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."

Kombucha Tea safe?

Most ask this question because they have heard that some mushrooms 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 Tea has been used as a health remedy for over 2000 years it is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the U.S., far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The F.D.A. has found this remarkable tea to be a safe drink if it is correctly prepared in a clean way 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 so for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

No person has ever died from drinking properly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for over two millennium. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

Kombucha Tea is a fermented beverage and , but then again some few people could be sensitive to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a minor skin blush or itch.

The 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 drink very large amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking very large quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom could 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. This limited problem is 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."]
