Why you should brew Kombucha at home.

What is Kombucha?

Kombucha is a fermented, lightly effervescent, sweetened black or green tea drink commonly consumed for its purported health benefits.
Kombucha is produced by fermenting sugared tea using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast called a SCOBY. The microbial populations in a SCOBY vary. The yeast component generally includes Saccharomyces cerevisiae, along with other species; the bacterial component almost always includes Gluconacetobacter xylinus to oxidize yeast-produced alcohols to acetic acid (and other acids).
Although the SCOBY is commonly called "tea fungus", it is actually "a symbiotic growth of acetic acid bacteria and osmophilic yeast species in a zoogleal mat [biofilm]".
The living bacteria are said to be probiotic, one of the reasons for the popularity of the drink.

When you drink home brewed kombucha, you know you are consuming this tonic when both its flavor and nutritional value are at their peak. When you purchase kombucha from the store you don’t know how much time has passed since the second fermentation. You don’t know what type of environment and temperatures the kombucha has been exposed to from bottling to shipping to store delivery and FINALLY consumption. With home brew, you control the process, and get a fresh batch every 7 - 10 days!
If the benefits of optimal potency and flavor weren’t enough, the cost savings alone of homebrewing should have you clicking to order your YEABUCHA Home Brew Kit already.
