Wanted to share something I learned yesterday that I found very interesting. From what I’ve read regarding Kombucha to date, it’s origins were thought to be likely in Tibet but somehow got to Korea in more modern history from where it was administered from a Korean doctor to a Japanese official – and it’s name of Kombucha derived. An Korean friend who is an elder and highly educated, spent much of her childhood and early adult life in Korea before moving to the states. Yesterday she shared with me oral and written history of Korea’s Mongolian ancestry; i.e. the Korean people migrated from Mongolia. Her mother tells her this is how Kombucha is found and used widely in Korea – it migrated also. This is both part of oral history and recorded history in Korea. My mind immediately jumped to that part of the world and it was easy to see the connections of Kombucha being spread by the Mongolian peoples. It would explain how it came to be a “staple” of many peoples of Eurasia. My friend’s moth
