“The Tea of Immortality” - Kombucha

The precise origin of kombucha is slightly hazy, but the first recipes are thought to date back as far as 221 BCE, the start of China’s Qin Dynasty. (Hence the 2/21 date for World Kombucha Day.) Brewers in northern China and Korea figured out how to take symbiotic cultures of bacteria and yeast (together they form a gelatinous disc known as a SCOBY) and use that to ferment sugared tea. They called it the “Tea of Immortality” and believed there was some truth to that name. 

Kombucha is a fermented tea that is made from black tea, sugar, bacteria, and yeast. The bacteria and yeast form a Symbiotic Colony of Yeast and Bacteria (SCOBY), which is used to ferment the tea. Kombucha has been around for centuries and is believed to have many health benefits.

Kombucha can be made of various natural and local ingredients, that add the beauty of authenticity and locality to the product. Here in Vietnam, you can easily find Kombucha from the local agricultural treasures including mango, ginger, strawberry, passion fruit, guava, rosemary, etc.
