The famous Kombucha tea is generating a lot of buzz and it's certainly not going away anytime soon! That's why we wanted to dedicate an article to it so that it holds no more secrets for you!

How is it made? What are its health benefits?

This drink, of Mongolian origin, is prepared from green or black tea and sugars which is fermented by a colony of microorganisms very rich in bacteria and yeasts.

Thanks to fermentation, this results in a slightly acidic and fizzy drink.

This beverage, previously consumed in a few countries such as China and Russia, is said to possess health benefits. As a result, it is becoming increasingly popular and is now considered a trendy drink.

Moreover, many brands have taken advantage of this new craze to market Kombucha-type drinks containing preservatives and other bacteria, which have no beneficial effects on health.

Kombucha tea is said to have beneficial properties for health problems such as:

• Insomnia
• Digestive problems
• Arthritis
• Chronic Fatigue

These benefits are attributed to the components of Kombucha tea:

ORGANIC ACIDS:
