Not feeling great about making the beverage yourself? At the moment I am working on a where to buy Kombucha online list. At the moment still in progess but will be back soon to start and update.
Kombucha tea is made by fermenting sweetened green or black tea with a culture of yeasts and bacteria called the Kombucha mushroom. Kombucha tea has been touted as a magical elixir that yields amazing benefits for those who consume it. The yeasts in Kombucha tea break down the sugar and combine with the tea to form antioxidants, minerals and vitamins which some believe are capable of fighting wrinkles and diabetes and boosting the immune system.
