What is Kombucha?
Hello everyone, its Vicki here to answer a question many of you still have. Just what is Kombucha and what is all the fuss behind this drink? Lets dive into it and give you all of the answers you need to learn more about this healthy and delicious beverage!
Kombucha is a fermented tea drink loaded with probiotics using a unique brewing method that dates back thousands of years. It is believed to have originated from China.
Kombucha is made with a combination of sugar, tea, and a SCOBY culture. The SCOBY is a bacteria culture that infuses with the drink. Over time it ferments and the liquid is then extracted and flavoured. In a nutshell this is how kombucha is made.
Where it is fermented, does it contain alcohol? Is it safe for kids?
If produced in an uncontrolled environment kombucha does pose the risk of developing a higher alcohol content. However when produced in a controlled environment such as the Kare brewing facility, precautions are put in place to ensure there is no chance of our beverages containing alcohol levels. Our formula has also been tested and certified to ensure no issues will ever occur.
