What is Kombucha? 

/kômˈbo͞oCHə/  noun

sweetened green or black tea fermented with a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast, otherwise known as a SCOBY.

During the fermentation process, the yeast in the SCOBY breaks down the sugar in the tea and releases probiotic bacteria.

There are a range of potential health benefits of kombucha, including: gut health, the reduction of cancer risk , and mental health.
