Question of the week; Does Kombucha Tea really work? Answer is...Yes! If it did not help to improve health why would millions of people have kept drinking it and brewing it, for over 2000 years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based drink that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the expense of such medical studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially 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 referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly grows on the very surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of many):

Testimonial - Quality: "I have been brewing KT for a few months. My supply grew mold so I had to start over with a new culture. I ordered 4 from Kombucha America. When I used the cultures to brew KT the results were great!! None of my other brews, from mushrooms I had ordered from other sites, could compare with the great taste and effervesense of my new brew. It tastes delicious!! The scobies that I have grown are very solid and much thicker than ones I grew before. I am very pleased with my order and thank you for a great product... C.M.S."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

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

Kombucha Tea has been used for health improvement for thousands of years and is now being widely sold in health food in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea 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 be contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less 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 yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for thousands of years. 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 may be allergic to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or a minor.

The tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is permitted 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 not be a smart thing to do, drinking large amounts of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common such molds are not harmful but they can ruin the taste of the tea. This small 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."]
