Kombucha is also known for its numerous health benefits, including improved digestion, boosted immune system, and increased energy.

How is Kombucha Tea made?

Fermentation, as a process of food production might not sound all that appealing. But, bear in mind, that it is an essential process in producing a variety of food and drink - cider, beer, wine (and their derivative products such as whisky and brandy); bread, cheese, yogurt and even chocolate. These are all (save for a few exceptions) produced by fermentation by yeast, bacteria, or both.

One of the key differences between kombucha and other fermented drinks is that it naturally contains trace levels of alcohol. This is the result of using a combination of yeast and bacteria - the yeast creates alcohol, and the bacteria blasts it, converting it into other organic acids. So the end result is a refreshing drink with a rather aromatic tea flavour. In fact, the quality of the tea is paramount to the final product - supermarket own-brand tea bags just won't cut it.

Because it is a fermented drink, it has a maturity of flavour that is far beyond the original tea. Of course, the same is often said of all the other products described above. You could take a quantity of milk, split it three ways, and produce a range of different cheeses from the same raw material, all the result of the power of fermentation.

Without a contribution from yeast and bacteria, there would be no kombucha. We hope you enjoy their work. Please have a read of the reasons to drink our kombucha.
