Kombucha Tea
£9.50 for a healthy piece of Kombucha Culture.
Kombucha elixir has been used for centuries in eastern lands as a
valuable aid to good health. One of the earliest records goes back to
approx 447AD when the Korean physician named Kombu treated the Japanese
nobleman Inkyo with the tea elixir. Such was its success that it
rapidly spread from Japan to Manchuria, and into Russia. The name
Kombucha is derived from kombu (the korean physician) and cha an eastern
name for tea.
The Kombucha fungus (it is actually a lichen) has the unique ability
to turn tea and sugar into a highly beneficial drink producing many
essential acids whilst only producing a minute amount of alcohol.
Kombucha elixir has the ability to de-toc the body, boost the immune
system and improve energy levels.
It produces Glucuronic Acid, useful for de-toxing and boosting the
immune system, Usinic Acid useful in cases of Uria (gout) to rid the
body of impurities, Lactic acid, essential for a healthy digestive tract
and Acetic Acid useful as an antiseptic and for inhibiting harmful
bacteria.
It can alo produce Citric acid, Malic Acid, Butyric Acid, Amino Acids
and almost all of the B-Complex vitamins. Kombucha brewing has gained
in popularity in recent years in the west either by the batch method or
more recently by the continuous fermentation process.
