My friend Lauren recently introduced me to Kombucha! Kombucha is alternately known as a Chinese tea, a plant, or a mushroom. But it's not really any of these. It's a living culture of beneficial microorganisms, and in Kombucha's case, the whole is infinitely greater than the sum of its parts! Our Kombucha is delicately cultured - some liken it to fermentation - for 30 days. During this period, essential nutrients form like active enzymes, viable probiotics, amino acids, antioxidants and polyphenols. All of these combine to create an elixir that encourages health and wellness. Kombucha has been used for hundreds of years throughout the world as a daily health tonic. The culture resembles a light brown, tough, gelatinous disk—and because it's a living, growing entity, it can regenerate and create new cultures with every batch. In fact, GT's Kombucha and Synergy are made from Kombucha cultures that are descendants of the original culture GT grew to create his first bottles.
Kombucha is not a supplement, drug, or medicine... it is simply a super healthy food that promotes overall well being and helps the body to find (or regain) its natural balance. Just like regular exercise, Kombucha is something that supports a healthy lifestyle, and when the body is healthier, its natural defenses are stronger.
Kombucha has a harmonizing influence on the system. The billions of probiotics found in Kombucha encourage digestive wellness and immune function.
Its definitely a taste you have to acquire but it has so many health benefits its totally worth it! Its sold at most health food stores.
