Kombucha Brewing
Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage brewed since ancient times. Although the exact origins are relatively unknown, the process has remained unchanged. Kombucha benefits can include antioxidants, probiotics, antibacterial properties, and on and on.
A Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast (SCOBY) ferments a sweet tea mixture to produce a refreshing, yet tart, tea beverage. Our Kombucha Starter Kits have everything you need to brew Kombucha at home. Refill your brewing vessels with a variety of recipe kits too.
