WHAT IS KOMBUCHA? I HAVE HEARD THAT IT IS A MUSHROOM, OR A MUSHROOM TEA?
There are no mushrooms, only folklore to try to explain this unique natural process. Making kombucha requires a starter culture (very much like a sourdough starter or yogurt culture) to turn tea into this wonderful drink. Technically, it is a cellulose fiber mat (also called ‘scoby’ or ‘mother’). These cultures come form Nepal, China and Siberia, some dating back thousands of years. Kombucha has to be shared to be created. It is social; it connects people, something we could all use more of today. Our company, Kombucha Wonder Drink, developed a proprietary process to bring the benefits of this ancient beverage to you. The process of producing kombucha generates glucuronic acid, which, according to Sally Fallon (Nourishing Traditions, New Trends Publishing, 1999), can be “a powerful aid to the body’s natural cleansing process, a boost to the immune system and a proven prophylactic against cancer and other degenerative diseases.” For even more information, click here.
