What is Kombucha ?

Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage that is made by fermenting sweetened tea with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). The SCOBY is also known as the "kombucha mother" or "kombucha mushroom" and it looks like a flat, rubbery pancake. During fermentation, the SCOBY consumes the sugar in the tea and produces a variety of organic acids, enzymes, vitamins, and other compounds, resulting in a tangy, slightly effervescent beverage with a unique flavor profile.

Kombucha has gained popularity in recent years as a health drink, with some proponents claiming it can improve digestion, boost the immune system, and provide other health benefits. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential health benefits and risks of consuming kombucha.
