ORGANIC KOMBUCHA



Known as the "Immortal Health Elixir" by the Chinese and originating in the Far East around 2,000 years ago, Kombucha is a beverage with tremendous health benefits!

The sugar tea solution is fermented by bacteria and yeast commonly known as a "SCOBY'' (Symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast).

There are very important steps/information you should know before you start making your Kombucha: 

Remember to keep your hands and area clean when touching your SCOBY, during preparation and fermentation. Your glass fermentation jar should be disinfected without using chemicals by inverting the jar in a pan of boiling water to make it germ free. 
During fermentation, use a porous cloth covers to protect your SCOBY and to provide it fresh air. 


REMEMBER! Purchase Mother SCOBY and the Starter Tea from the Reliable source! 

To make a Great Kombucha you will need HAPPY, HEALTHY, ACTIVE SCOBY AND THE STARTER TEA!


SCOBY AND THE STARTER TEA AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT DISCOUNT PRICE TO KOMBUCHA CLASS ATTENDEES!  A high quality product available at a good price so more people can benefit from the health benefits from drinking Kombucha.
