"Romanow, Medical Director of the Center for Sports Medicine of Profsport, performed studies on athletes that consumed Kombucha under very intensive stress during their training and competitive cycles. Romanow found that the athletes who consumed Kombucha had an increase in maximum performance capability, an increase in cardiac output, improved gastrointestinal function, and an improved sense of well being. As a result, Romanow stated that Kombucha most probably serves as a biostimulator with a broad range of activity, able to increase aerobic capacity and improve metabolic function."

"Kombucha was proven to have anti-microbial activity against a number of pathogenic organisms. The anti-microbial properties of the ferment were attributed to the acid content. Therefore, the prevention of pathogenic growth by the consumption of the fermented tea, Kombucha, may be important in aiding immunity and illness prevention. This effect could lead to better overall health. In addition a few clinical trials have shown that Kombucha can reduce pain, assist sleep, increase aerobic capacity, and improve metabolic function."

(Excerpted from Abstract on Kombucha Tea by C.J. Greenwalt with references to studies)

Give it a try, you will find it most enjoyable and don't worry. . . you will not wake-up one morning to find a pod beside you in bed. :-)

Testimonial - Inflammatory Bowel Disease:
I had Inflammatory Bowel Disease for ten years. I tried many alternatives but did any more than help with the symptoms. I was forced to maintain a very strict diet or suffer the consequences. Even with the strict diet, I was experiencing intestinal bleeding every day. Between two and four weeks after starting to drink Kombucha tea daily, all symptoms disappeared. I have now enjoyed 18 months of absolute health, and I am very much enjoying eating whatever I please with no adverse results. My doctor recently said he could see no sign that I had ever had the disease. I thank God every day for Kombucha, and highly recommend it. Please feel free to use this quote anonymously. I feel obligated to share my experience. . . BP

EASY & FUN TO GROW & A PERFECT GIFT

You will find that Kombucha tea is very easy to make, and once you have a Kombucha mushroom its continuous cycle of reproduction provides you and your friends with a lifetime supply of this remarkable tea for FREE.

To make your first batch of tea you simply add to a gallon of water 6 to 8 tea bags of green tea or orange pekoe/black tea and about 1 to 1.5 cups of sugar and a little apple-cider vinegar. You place the mushroom in the tea and wait 7 days, then strain off tea and place in the fridge to cool.

During the brewing (fermentation) period the new "baby" mushroom that grows in the container with the "mother" mushroom metabolizes the sugar in the tea. The "baby" mushroom can be used to make your next batch of tea or given away to a friend. The "mother mushroom" can be reused to make additional batches of tea if you do give away the baby mushrooms.

Testimonial - Topical Skin Application:
Kombucha drink is the greatest, refreshing champagne I ever tasted. I even discovered, that when you take a live, fresh Kombucha and put it on your face, it refreshes, replenishes the skin to a baby skin like a new- born. This blew me away. When I have another forest of them I will lay in the bathtub with them and revive, refresh my whole body that way. I also rinse my hair with the tea and then rinse with clear water afterwards. Laying the mushroom on a bad sore, it sucks out the puss and heals so much faster. Kombucha should be in every household. . . MB

HISTORY


It is possible that thousand of years ago someone made a batch of regular but sugary tea and set it aside forgetting to drink it. During the period of days that it was forgotten some rare airborne bacterial and yeast spores took up residence in the tea. Later it was test tasted rather than being discarded and the taste was found to be very pleasant. After additional batches were made health benefits began to be noticed and its popularity quickly spread.

Other speculations offer that the Kombucha Mushroom is related to a birch-tree mushroom that is called Chaga. For hundreds of years a tea has been made from Chaga by the Russian peasants of the Alexandrove district near Moscow to cure them of cancer. Peasants from this area are reported to have no cancers in their communities.

Kombucha Mushroom tea has been known by many names in many cultures. In 18th century Russia it was known as Cajnyj Kvas, in China as Cha Gu, in Germany as Heldenpilz. The word Kombucha is its Japanese name. It may have been introduced to Japan by a Korean physician by the name of Kombu around 415 AD. It was known to be popular among European nobility in the 18th century but its popularity possibly faded because of the wars of that century which made it difficult to obtain sugar and tea.

Testimonial - High Blood Pressure:
I'm brand new - only been drinking K-tea for a month. Already notice skin better, less wrinkles, regularity and most wonderful of all got the best BP reading in two years yesterday! Update: I have been drinking Kombucha tea since March, , and it just keeps getting better. Sex drive has increased, a lot.

It is recommend anyone who is interested in this remarkable lichen purchase from their local bookstore the book entitled "Kombucha Rediscovered" by Klaus Kaufmann. The cost of this informative book is $10.98 (USD). Some of the information given on this web site is information obtained from this book.

An extensive source of additional information can be found in the book written by Guenther W. Frank "The Fascination of Kombucha". Click Here to read an excerpt of information on Kombucha from his book.

Some may wonder if the tea is so good for one's health why the medical profession or drug industry is not recommending or marketing it. One reason is that it takes tens of millions of dollars to scientifically test a product before it can be marketed by the medical industry. They are not willing to spend the money if they cannot see a dollar return on their investment, the Kombucha lichen reproduces weekly, for free, making it a poor candidate for a profitable return. Additionally doctors often do not believe in "home remedies", often they do not have the time to investigate something new and often resist because they have their own (more expensive) remedies to promote. Some also put forth the argument that because the tea has not been "scientifically proven" to benefit a person's health therefore it has no value. . . This is an absurd piece of rationalization.

Testimonial - Arthritis, Lung Disease:
My dear mother's arthritis was so bad in her hands that she couldn’t shake hands without extreme, severe pain. (especially during peace-time during mass where you turn to the people around you to exchange the sign of peace with a handshake and greeting.) But, after drinking K-tea for 2 months, her arthritis has completely disappeared! It is really all gone! She can grab your hand and give you a strong, healthy handshake now with a smile on her face instead of crying out in pain.

But, best of all. . . My husband's aunt was very sickly. Congestion was building up in her lungs to the point where she was on oxygen 24 hours a day! She could not take off the oxygen for 10 minutes without passing out! After drinking K-tea for 2 months, the doctors have taken her completely off the oxygen! She is free from that machine and oxygen hose having to follow her all through the house. The doctors tell her that her lungs are perfectly healthy and normal now. . . she is cured. . . although they are amazed and cannot explain it!. . . A.

CAUTIONS

Tea is not recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers (in large amounts) because it is a fermented tea and contains alcohol as well as caffeine. Kombucha, however, can be made with decaf tea. Very infrequently some very few new tea drinkers may experience minor intestinal distress which generally passes after their stomach flora adjusts to the tea. The tea, like anything intended to be consumed, should be carefully prepared in a clean kitchen environment to prevent any contamination by obnoxious bacteria, yeasts or molds.

Kombucha tea is a fermented tea and fermentation of any beverage leaches metal molecules so it should not be brewed in any ferrous metal containers (iron, copper, lead crystal, etc.) or in ceramic containers that might contain lead. Stainless steel is OK.

Excessive consumption of the tea may lead to the development of metabolic acidosis, persons with pre-existing medical conditions which might be adversely affected by the lowering of pH blood levels should not drink "excessive" daily amounts of Kombucha tea. Drinking equal amounts of water lowers the risk of acidosis when daily consumption of the tea is "excessively" higher than the normal consumption of 1 to 3 cups per day.

Kombucha tea, as mentioned is slightly acidic, if you are taking medication that is sensitive to acidic conditions you should consult with your physician before drinking Kombucha and taking the medicine at the same time.

There has been a lot of misinformation appearing on the Internet about the dangers of drinking Kombucha tea. . . Most all of it is nonsense. CLICK HERE to read the FDA Warning on Kombucha. You will note that the FDA has found that Kombucha Tea is safe to drink if prepared in a clean manner. . . It's only common sense that you should prepare anything you intend to drink or eat in a clean manner.

There are rumors that people have died from drinking the tea, again nonsense, if this were the case the FDA would have immediately issued new warnings to that effect. No such warnings exist or have ever been published by either the FDA or CDC (Center for Disease Control) I think I can safely say that more people in one year have died from taking aspirin than have died, IF ANY, from drinking Kombucha tea in its entire 2000 year history.

Testimonial - Staph infections, Boils:
I had Staph infection for two years, which came out in the form of boils, after drinking the tea for a while they went away, so i thought i did not need it any more, so i quit drinking it, to my surprise the boils returned, so i know for a fact that the tea cured the staph infection that i had. I am making a new batch as i write this testimonial. IT WORKS. . . TLS

One such false "death" rumor started in Iowa back in 1995 when two elderly women became "mysteriously" ill (as reported by the local newspaper and quickly picked up by the national press). Both were found to have been drinking Kombucha Tea and the local town paper immediately offered the wild speculation that there illness were related to drinking this "strange tea". The fact that a lot more people in the same town were also drinking the tea and were not getting mysteriously ill seems to have slipped their notice. One of the women died and the other was released, both the CDC and the FDA investigated the "mysterious illnesses" after it was called to their attention by exaggerated press releases. Both found that each of the two women had medical conditions that were not mysterious at all and were totally unrelated to their consumption of Kombucha tea. However to this day you will still see Internet warnings about drinking Kombucha tea that reference this incident.

Another false rumor on the Internet about Kombucha states that Kombucha may produce anthrax. This is an absolutely ridiculous statement. The source of this false statement originates with an unsubstantiated report out of Iran that an isolated batch of Kombucha tea somewhere in Iran had been found to have anthrax in it. If this is true then the tea somehow became contaminated with anthrax, it certainly did not produce it. Kombucha tea is no more likely to become contaminated with anthrax than the milk in your refrigerator.

Negative information about Kombucha also refers to some people suffering from upset stomachs after drinking the tea. Kombucha is a fermented beverage and it is true that some people may have experienced an upset stomach after drinking the tea. Fermented drinks do sometimes upset some people’s stomachs, however millions of people drink Kombucha tea daily and they do not complain about upset stomachs, if they did the FDA would certainly be warning the public about it. No such warning exists.




KOMBUCHA FRAUD WARNING

Certain supplement companies are now offering Kombucha in capsule or tablet form at high prices on the internet and in health food stores. The consumer should beware of purchasing these products. There is absolutely NO evidence that these types of Kombucha products have any health benefits. These unscrupulous supplement companies are only attempting to capitalize on the popularity and reputation of Kombucha "the living" tea and they could care less if their product is valueless and will not improve your health.

The health benefits seen from Kombucha are only realized when you drink the "living" tea. Kombucha tea contains live beneficial bacteria that produce beneficial enzymes. Once the mushroom or the tea is dried, the bacteria are killed and you are only left with an inert powder with no medicinal value, you might as well eat cardboard.

Bottled Kombucha tea and Kombucha extracts now being sold on the internet and in health foods stores is yet another attempt to rip you off. Kombucha tea is a fermented living tea which quickly dies, loses its medicinal powers, and turns sour when capped, bottled or pasteurized. You must drink fresh Kombucha tea to get the health benefits it can provide you!

Some sellers of Kombucha mushrooms are also trying to convince the consumer that their mushrooms and cultures are better than others. They often give exotic names to their mushrooms such as "Himalayan Kombucha", Real Chinese or "Royal Kombucha" in hopes of selling them at inflated prices. They even may add food coloring to the tea, which the mushroom is grown in, to give it an exotic color. There is no evidence that any Kombucha mushroom or culture is any more beneficial than another. A few individuals selling Kombucha on the internet even add phony medical degree abbreviations behind their names to convince you to make your purchase from them.

Some others who sell Kombucha products on the internet attempt to sell you more than you need to make Kombucha Tea. They offer expensive 'kits" to make the tea. They are only selling you what you can easily obtain for yourself, regular tea, sugar, and a large glass jar. Kombucha Tea is very easy to make and we provide full instructions on how to do it properly.

Kombucha America has been providing Kombucha Mushroom cultures for 9 years. We resent companies that seek to take advantage of people who are seeking a remedy for their health problems by offering worthless Kombucha products at inflated prices or by employing deceptive sales practices. If you are seeking such a remedy you should only drink fresh "living" Kombucha tea which you can easily make yourself at home for FREE.. and save your money.

Comments or Questions:

What is Needed to Make Kombucha

1. A Kombucha Mushroom culture.

2. Glass Jar - A gallon glass jar, or smaller if you wish to make less than a gallon of tea. Old gallon pickle jars work well and can be obtained for free from a local Deli. They usually just throw them out. Any glass container can be used, even old fish bowls. Plastic or metal containers should not be used to brew or store the tea in. You will also need some glass bottles to store the tea you will be drinking, old gallon wine bottles work well.

3. Tea - Kombucha is made using regular tea. Six to Eight regular size tea bags to a gallon of tea. Black tea, orange pekoe tea, green tea, earl gray tea, can all be used to make a delicious Kombucha tea.

4. Sugar - Real Sugar must be used. Kombucha is a fermented tea and sugar is needed for the fermentation of the tea. Artificial sweetners will not work. Different types of sugars can be used, raw sugar, regular white sugar, brown sugar, etc. etc. the tea can even be made using honey. Most all of the suger used will be used up in the fermentation of the tea and by the newly forming mushroom that will grow on the surface of the tea.

5. Vinegar - Apple cider vinegar or regular white vinegar. A small amount of vinegar is used to initially adjust the pH level of the tea for better fermentation.

6. Coffee Filters - Coffee filters or paper towels to cover the brewing jar while it is fermenting and a rubber band to secure the covering.

Above is all that is needed to make Kombucha tea. Those who are selling "Kombucha Kits" on the internet are just trying to take more of your money.

We send full instructions on how to correctly make the tea when you order.
