I never heard of it until I saw an Internet article on it. It says that it will help to restore skin's natural radiance as well as firm and tone. Celebrities often spot drinking kombucha tea. Wow new stuff, very interesting. Time to find out more…..
Description
Kombucha is a probiotic, microbiological food. It helps regenerate the bowel flora and is excellent for well being. It is a living health drink made by fermenting tea and sugar with the kombucha culture.
It is alternately known as a Chinese tea, a plant, or a mushroom. But it's not really any of these. It's a living culture of beneficial microorganisms. Kombucha is delicately cultured – some leave it to fermentation - for 7 to 14 days. During this period, essential nutrients form like active enzymes, viable probiotics, amino acids, antioxidants and polyphenols. All of these combine to create an elixir that immediately works with the body to restore balance and vitality. It has been used for hundreds of years throughout the world as a daily health tonic.
Kombucha apparently evolved from plant organisms over 2.5 billion years ago. People have been preparing and making a fermented tea drink for over 2000 years for many centuries. The fact that is still here today is a testimonial in itself and that millions of people throughout world for centuries have found it to have great value.
What is it made of?
Kombucha is a popular health promoting beverage and natural folk remedy made by fermenting tea. Kombucha is a colony or culture of yeast and other microorganisms embedded in a pure cellulose "pancake (beige or white rubbery)." The culture is called a SCOBY, Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria & Yeast. The culture resembles a light brown, tough, gelatinous disk and because it's a living, growing entity, it can regenerate and create new cultures with every batch.

When the "pancake" is grown in a blend of black or green tea and sugar, it transforms the liquid into a refreshingly lightly sparkling, sweet and sour drink with a fruity fragrance full of health giving acids and nutrients. The Kombucha culture feeds on the sugar and, in exchange, produces other valuable substances which change into the drink: glucuronic acid, glucon acid, lactic acid, vitamins, amino acids, antibiotic substances, 0.5% to 1% alcohol is produced as well as other products. In addition, Kombucha contains natural anti-bacterial properties that can prevent the presence of unfavorable microbial growth. The Kombucha culture is, therefore, a real tiny biochemical factory.
However, there is always two side of a story. I also saw some articles that said
serious side effects and occasional deaths have been associated with drinking Kombucha tea. Hmm, sound scary. I am not too sure whether I will try this tea but if I happen to see this product selling in Singapore, maybe I will give me a try. Will you???
