WHAT IS KOMBUCHA?

Kombucha is an ancient Far Eastern beverage with a history spanning over 2000 years, produced by fermenting black, green, or white tea with a symbiotic culture. The symbiotic kombucha culture, called Scoby (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast), is a colony of yeast and beneficial bacteria. The yeast converts the sugar in the tea into ethanol, while the beneficial bacteria consume the ethanol to create organic acids, active enzymes, amino acids, and vitamins. During this process, most of the sugar is consumed by the culture as nutrients.

Kombucha is a living probiotic beverage that is also very rich in vitamin B. It is a healthy drink that should be consumed cold and can be enjoyed carbonated or flavored according to preference.
