Kombucha is a naturally fizzy and refreshing beverage that has been around for thousands of years. It is made from tea, sugar and bacteria (yep, sounds weird but it’s true!) and has been known to help with digestion, detoxification and many other health benefits.
Kombucha has been around since at least the 5th century in China where it was called “The Tea of Immortality” because of its health benefits. Since then it has spread across Europe and North America with many different names such as Manchurian mushroom, kambucha tea or tschambucco.

Kefir is another fermented drink which also comes from Eastern Europe and shares some similarities with kombucha. Both are made by fermenting sweetened tea (or milk) with beneficial bacteria and yeast strains which produce carbon dioxide (CO2) during fermentation. The CO2 bubbles give both drinks their fizzy texture and helps to improve gut health because of how it aids digestion – this process is known as probiotics!

Kombucha is a fizzy, fermented tea that has been used for thousands of years. It’s made by adding sugar to a culture of yeast and bacteria, which are known as “kombucha mushrooms.” The bacteria eat the sugar and produce acid, which helps to cleanse the body.
Kombucha is thought to help with digestion, boost energy levels and improve overall health. It can also provide some protection against illness when taken regularly.
