Kombucha?

Kombucha is a fermented tea drink that can be sweet and naturally carbonated. It is created using tea, water, sugar and most importantly, the kombucha SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast). It is not entirely known where kombucha originated from and how long it has been brewed for. Some say kombucha has been around for more than 6000 years. Early documented references refer to the drink in Northeast Asia around 220 BC. It is theorised that because these areas are where the first tea plants were cultivated that the kombucha SCOBY might have been first noticed there and brewed. Deano of The Good Brew Co always imagines them sitting in old tea cups left lying around during a frantic tea making session for a Genghis Khan type emperor organised Manchurian tea party. Today kombucha has travelled the world as a functional beverage. Many people either brew their own or purchase it bottled and ready to drink. Unfortunately though when purchasing bottles, not all kombucha is created the same; some brands on the market don’t properly ferment their kombucha, leaving in some cases a dead beverage. Ideally what you want is a batch that has been properly fermented and bottle conditioned, meaning the brewing and fermentation process has occurred in the bottle, creating a living brew. All Good Brew kombucha uses quality fermentation processes, natural ingredients, filtered water and all our bottles are bottle conditioned.
