The health elixir of life! Kombucha tea originated in China during the Qin Dynasty in 220 BCE where it was used widely as a cure-all drink after a local medicine man successfully treated the Emperor with a Kombucha concoction, or so the legend goes. It made its way to Russia and finally to the west, on the same hippy tide that brought ancient practices, techniques and recipes from the east during the 1970's. It was known then as a cure-all. Kombucha is a powerful probiotic tea, it’s very low in sugar and a fantastic addition to your diet, especially if you're focused on gut health and weight loss. The Probiotics in Kombucha are made up of symbiotic cultures of bacteria in yeast (Scoby) which may boost energy, detoxify the body and strengthen the immune system.
