Kombucha History
The exact origin of the Kombucha Culture is unknown. Information that we have read, tell us that the culture has been around for thousands of years. The Moscow Central Bacteriological Institute calls the Kombucha a 'tea fungus' or 'tea sponge'. Their research shows that the culture is formed from baterium xyllinum and yeast cells of the genus saccharomyces. These components offer a natural antibiotic effect when used as a tea. The tea is said to offer vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, folic acid, dextrogyral, glucuronic acid and usnic acid.
Making Kombucha Culture Tea
When you purchase your own Kombucha Culture, you will receive comprehensive instructions on the care, feeding and use of Kombucha Culture. Making the tea is relatively simple, but you must follow the instructions implicitly.
Many people brew Kombuchas separately, while others prefer the continuous fermentation process. We use both methods. If you are using Kombucha soleyly to brew tea, the continuous fermentation method is ideal. If you are interested in further uses, such as using extra cultures for skin applications, you will need to brew your Kombuchas separately to ensure the growth of many baby cultures.
To brew separately, you basically brew your tea in a large clear glass bowl, filled with the liquid you received your culture in, sugar and additional organic tea made with purified water. Then you will cover the bowl with a white cotton cloth tied securely with string. After seven to ten days you will harvest your tea and bottle it. Your original culture or 'mother' will produce a 'baby' culture in this time frame, allowing you to start two new batches.
Continuous fermentation is a method of brewing one batch, with one culture, in a Kombucha crock. Every few days, depending on your intake, you will add additional sweetened tea. Using this method, you have a continual source of Kombucha Tea.
