Healthfood Craze For Tea

by

The natural food aisle has gone tea crazy. What am I talking about? kombucha pronounced kum-boo-cha is a fermented tea that, doesn’t have the backing of the Food and Drug Administration, but has been around for thousands of years and health nuts are crazy about it.

It is believed the tea is a cure-all. It detoxifies the body and its acids and bacteria known as probotics are helpful in digestion, suppress appetite and rejuvenate the skin.

Kombucha is made from a culture that is kept growing and alive similar to yogurts properties. Steve Lee, the founder of Kombucha Wonder Drink did an interview with the Albany Democrat-Herald and stated that “the fermentation process means the drink has a slight alcohol content, but generally less than .05 percent.” He also adds, ” Kombucha Wonder Drink is pasteurized, a process that raw kombucha fans say kills the probiotics that give the drink its health benefits.”

But still some say the organic acids are enough to be a cure-all for them.

This wonderful tea can be purchased at any healthfood or health conscious market. Pick some up and see what it does for you.

Happy Kombucha Drinking!


*Natural and Sustainable Living Tip:
Stay away from colorings that have been added to a food product such as, red dye #40, Yellow Lakes, Blue Lakes. If the natural coloring isn’t good enough for a company then that companies food isn’t good enough for YOU!
