Kombucha is a carbonated, fermented tea that has become pretty popular over the last few years. It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
