Kombucha is an ancient naturally fermented tea drink.

S.C.O.B.Y is an acronym for symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast which feeds on sweetened tea and produces kombucha. Kombucha is an effervescent probiotic beverage. It has been indicated to have many health benefits such as improved digestion and gut health, mental clarity, and mood stability. It’s said to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of fibromyalgia, depression and anxiety. It is also said to boost the immune system and aid digestion. It is considered a good source of antioxidants, B vitamins and beneficial enzymes. It’s not a magic pill, but it may help bring the body back into balance. The health claims about kombucha have not been confirmed by western medical research, but there is no denying that it is delicious and healthier and lower in sugar than fizzy pop. When left to second-ferment it gets really fizzy and can resemble champagne.
