Kombucha Tea

Kombucha is a fizzy functional drink made of sugared tea, fermented through a Simbiosis Colony of Bacterias and Yeasts (also known as S.C.O.B.Y) in a controlled environment. Kombucha tea is known under different names throughout the world such as red tea fungus, Champignon de Longue vie, Lingzhi, kocha kinoko, Chainii grib, and Chainii kvass. It is traditionally prepared by fermenting sugared black tea with a symbiotic culture of yeast and bacteria. This beverage is thought to have originated in China over 2000 years ago, while there are many historical reports of this beverage being consumed in countries such as Russia, Germany, and the Middle East as well.
