Please see our About Me page to meet us.  :-)

Check out our excellent feedback - we have provided many cultures to satisfied customers all over the world who are taking charge of their health! 

Kombucha tea is natures probiotic in a real sense that the tea contains numerous beneficial bacteria, acids and yeasts that aid our bodies on a great many levels.  A probiotic is a live bacteria that helps populate the large intestine with friendly bacteria known as gut flora, which dissolve harmful micro-organisms.  Kombucha tea provides the body with additional gluceronic acid which is what the liver produces to detoxify the body.  The tea also gives you an energy boost, due to the range of B vitamins in the tea, particularly B1, B2, B6, and B12.  These vitamins also help the body to process fats (the tea is a great addition to any weight-loss regimen) and proteins.  There is also vitamin C which is a potent detoxifier, immune booster and enhancer of vitality.  Many have found they can wean themselves off caffeine once they start incorporating kombucha tea into their morning routine.  In addition Kombucha has a wide range of organic acids and enzymes.  The health benefits of Kombucha tea may also aid the body to alleviate a wide spectrum of ailments and conditions; from the mildest indisposition to the most serious diseases.  A cursory google search provides many many testimonies of those who have been healed of various illnesses, and attribute Kombucha tea to their recovery.  Considering all of kombucha teas attributes, it really makes sense that everyone who is concerned about their health should include this tea in their daily regimen.  The best thing about it is that it costs only pennies a day to make and enjoy! 

~We only use ORGANIC ingredients in all of our products, always.~

    Included in our ULTIMATE starter kit: 

*2 new HALF GALLON size glass mason jars with lids.  These are the two-piece lid style  - you can brew in one, and store your finished k-tea in the other!  You will always have a jar to brew and a jar to store, so you can be brewing continuously.

***Air tight containers such as these are essential in order to increase carbonation, both for health and for taste.  This is explained more in our instructions.

*3 bags of organic green tea (not caffeine free) (or we can send black tea if you prefer)

*1/3 cup organic sugar

*1 kombucha mushroom and 1/2 cup starter tea (shown in bowl and on glass plate which are not included)

*Coffee filter and rubber band, for your convenience 

*Instructions and helpful hints and answers to FAQ sent via email.  Please let us know if you need a hard copy sent with your order.

This is all you need need to begin your kombucha tea experience.  Just add the water!  This kit will make 1 quart of tea initially, which is a perfect amount for the first time consumer of kombucha.  After that, just use some of your prepared tea as starter for the next batch, use more sugar and tea proportionally if you want a larger batch, and you will have an ongoing supply of this amazing beverage.  By your second batch, you could be making a gallon of tea at a time if you so desire!

Please be advised - your kombucha mushroom will come floating in the starter tea, in the double-bagged freezer bags.  SO DO NOT DISCARD THE LIQUID.  :-)

How we Make 1 Quart of Kombucha:  ~IT'S EASY!~

(Kombucha tea is NOT an exact science.  You can use different ratios of starter tea and sweet tea, more or less sugar.  Experiment to your taste! )

1/3 c. sugar (using white sugar produces the most detoxifying tea, the most gluceronic acid)
2-3 tea bags (Plain black or green tea is best. Rooibus (red tea) also makes a very yummy k-tea. Avoid teas with oils or else you will grow mold. Read the label.) 

1/2 c. starter tea (which is just already prepared kombucha tea)

1 quart filtered water
1 Kombucha mushroom

Boil a quart of water in a stainless steal pot - no aluminum.  Boil for 10 minutes to remove the chlorine if your filter does not remove it.  Add 1/4 - 1/3 cup sugar and mix until dissolved.  NO metal utensils.  Metal, even rings on hands should NEVER touch the culture.  We use a wooden spoon.  Add tea bags, steep, and cool to room temp.  Remove bags.  Place kombucha and starter tea (your culture will be floating in the starter tea) in glass jar - plastic may leach

into tea so only use glass.  Pour tea you made into jar but leave about 1-2" room for tea to "breathe" while brewing.  Cover with the coffee filter or piece of paper towel and secure with rubber band (to keep fruit flies out).  Place in pantry or on counter (just not in direct sun) and do not disturb!  Start tasting after 4-5 days (you can use a straw) and let it brew until

 your preferred taste. The longer you brew, the more acidic it gets.  When you see bubbles at the top of the liquid, it should be just right, nice and tart and sparkling.  Ours takes about 5-7 days, although it can take up to 10.  In the warmer months it does not take as long.  Some prefer even longer brewing times.  Remove the mushroom and the baby mushroom (new mushroom) which may have attached itself to the first. Bottle or drink.  Start all over again!  Instructions on how

to make a gallon size brew and other tips are included in our instructions.

Experts recommend starting with 2-4 ounces per day. Listen to your body. Some people find this is enough, others drink several ounces per day.  We drink it by the glassful.  Kombucha tea is a diuretic so be sure and be drinking plenty of water as well, if you are consuming the tea on a regular basis.

* Comes with instructions and how to care for your mushroom.  We know the ins and outs of kombucha, after many years of brewing, so we are always happy to help with email support along the way.  

Customers appreciate our honesty and integrity.  We will never try to undermine other sellers just to get your business.

 *We also have the perfect Strainer Sets in our store to use for kombucha if you are interested!  They are great for straining out the spent yeast cells that are formed during brewing.  They are shipped FREE IN THE US.

Please add us to your Favorites List as we plan on adding many exciting health-related items to our store in the coming months!

Thank you and have a blessed day!   <><
