Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based drink that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal stories telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold 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 most often referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It grows on the surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of a large number):

Testimonial - Thanks!: "Thanks to Kombucha America for two very healthy starter cultures and a defined instruction on how to grow. The taste is beautiful, and while mine was brewed in black tea, my friend grew hers in green tea. We left each one for the recommended seven days and budda-boom! I'm hoping to see the benefits that may result for my friend who has fibromyalgia... A.M."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

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

Kombucha 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 FDA has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink provided it is prepared properly in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

No person has died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily 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 beverage and , but some few people might 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 wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long to a more sour condition. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to very large quantities of the tea when it is sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking large quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common household food molds are not harmful but they can ruin the taste of the tea. This minor problem is 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."]
