Kombucha tea is a fermented drink made with tea, sugar, good bacteria and yeast. To make the drink, bacteria and yeast must first grow together to form a culture. The culture is added to the sugar and tea. Then the mix is allowed to ferment. The end result is a liquid that has vinegar, B vitamins and many other types of acids, including amino acids.

It’s a health drink, an alternative to alcohol or to kids drinks which are filled with artificial sweeteners.

It naturally contains friendly bacteria, antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins B and C and healthy organic acids.

Does Kombucha contain sugar?

Yes it does. Sugar is essential to a proper fermentation. Sugar feeds the yeast and bacteria. Residual sugar is broken down during fermentation so it’s much easier for the body to process.

Does kombucha contain alcohol?

It is classed as non-alcoholic because it has less than 0.5% alcohol

Does it contain caffeine?

Yes, it’s made from tea, but significantly less than either tea or coffee.
