Mad Millie Kombucha Kit

What is Kombucha Tea?

Thought to have originated in China or Japan, Kombucha tea has been enjoyed for hundreds of years and is becoming increasingly popular in Western culture for its believed gut and overall health benefits.

It is created by adding specific strains of bacteria, yeast, and sugar to black or green tea before leaving it to ferment for at least a week. The taste of the finished Kombucha tea is dependent on the length of time it has been left to ferment, with your very own Kombucha tea making kit you can tailor the flavour to your own specific taste and preference! Kombucha has a tarty zing to its flavour, how much punch you get depends on your own fermenting process!

The fermentation process also gives Kombucha tea its fizziness, making it a lovely, refreshing beverage to enjoy over ice during the summer months.
