KOMBUCHA
TEA
SUGAR
WATER
SCOBY
HOW IS KOMBUCHA MADE?
Fermented black tea, Kombucha is a tart and refreshing beverage, rich in B vitamins, Amino Acids, Enzymes and Probiotics. Made with black tea and fermented with a S.C.O.B.Y (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast). Raw and unpasteurised Kombucha contains good bacteria, similar to what occurs naturally in our intestines.
Sugar, Water, Black tea and a SCOBY is fermented for long periods which results in the delectable beverage that you see today.
During the fermentation process of a few weeks, the live organisms excrete Glucaric Acid, and as the tea ferments, it results in a tart, fizzy, slightly sweet beverage. Kombucha naturally produces carbon dioxide during the fermentation process, simultaneously carbonating the beverage. The research on health benefits of kombucha is very promising, and it’s certainly a better beverage option than soda, juice, and other sugary drinks.

BENEFITS OF KOMBUCHA
1. Aid digestion
Kombucha is packed with probiotics with an organic ability to balance good bacteria in the gut and relieve some gastrointestinal issues. Kombucha is known to relieve irritable bowel syndrome, bloating and constipation.

3. Aids Weight loss
During fermentation, polyphenols and acetic acid formed aids in weightloss.
4. Ease joint pains

DISCLAIMER
Alcohol in Kombucha -
During fermentation, the yeast consumes the sugar and produces Carbon dioxide which provides a natural fizz to Kombucha and ethanol (A by-product of fermentation).
However, the alcohol gets used as food to provide for the conversion of bacteria to acetic acid. This means that during our bottling process, our alcohol content present is below 0.5% ABV. (Non intoxicating/non dizzying)
​
Caffeine in Kombucha -
Kombucha is fermented black tea, however compared to unfermented teas, Kombucha has 3 times lesser caffeine as caffeine is used as fuel for probiotic growth!
Roughly 20mg of caffeine in present in Kombucha. A good comparison would be the same amount of caffeine as a 1 ounce piece of dark chocolate!
