All About 'Booch
"The Tea of Immortality"
The first known record of kombucha was in China around 220 BCE. It was a strain of fermented black teas that were said to increase your longevity and boost vitality
First Ferment
The hardest part of making kombucha and overall maintaining a SCOBY is in your first few ferments. A good first ferment should taste like vinegar. It means your SCOBY is eating!
Improving Gut Health
Kombucha is chalk full of probiotics and antioxidants that create a powerful micro-culture in your stomach. This helps to limit things like inflammation, bloating, and GERD
What Is Kombucha?
Kombucha is a carbonated, fermented tea that has become pretty popular over the last few years. It’s made with tea, sugar, and a SCOBY. The result is a tangy, slightly sweet drink that can come in lots of different flavors. Because it is a fermented tea, it does contain some caffeine, but in levels equal to about 1/100 of a cup of coffee.
