💡 What is kombucha?
Kombucha is a fermented tea drink produced by a culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). It is traditionally made from tea and sugar; during fermentation, the culture consumes the sugar and leaves behind live bacterial cultures, probiotics, vitamins and acids, which give the drink its distinctive flavour and texture.
