Kombucha, a fermented tea beverage that's been enjoyed for centuries and is experiencing a well-deserved surge in popularity. But what exactly is this fizzy wonder drink?

What is Kombucha?

Kombucha is created by fermenting sweetened tea with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, often referred to as a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast). This SCOBY creates a unique flavor profile that can range from slightly sweet and tart to tangy and effervescent.

What are the benefits of Kombucha?

Kombucha has a number of health benefits, including:

  • Probiotics: Kombucha is rich in probiotics, a beneficial bacteria that support gut health. A healthy gut microbiome is linked to improved digestion, immune function, and overall well-being.
  • Antioxidants: Kombucha contains antioxidants that can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
  • Vitamins and Minerals: Depending on the tea used and the fermentation process, kombucha may contain small amounts of B vitamins and other nutrients.

There's a variety of different kombucha flavours like ginger, berry and citrus...it's all about finding your favourite.
