Kombucha Tea


Tea. There is nothing like it. The flavors, colors, aromas, and warmth are delightful and healing to one's soul. Everyone seems to have their favorite, yet when I mention kombucha tea people glare me down with bewilderment. For those of you who don't know, it's time I let you in on an amazing concoction which has been around since the late 19th century. This naturally effervescent drink is commonly referred to as a mushroom, yet is really colonies of bacteria and yeast. When the large, pancake-like growth is completed it is prepared by taking a starter sample ("mother) from existing culture and growing a new colony ("baby"). The tea is prepared by adding the colony to a green or black tea and allowing mixture to ferment. The resulting liquid is alkaline, and contains vinegar, B vitamins, and many other chemical compounds.

Some benefits of drinking Kombucha daily:
  • Prevents Acid Reflux
  • Assists With Weight Loss
  • Aids in Digestion of Heavy Metals
  • Strengthens & Restores Hair
  • Helps With Sleep
  • Relieves Constipation
  • More Energy
  • Better Skin Complexion
