Kombucha tea is a type of fermented tea that was invented and used in China and Japan for thousands of years. They possess greater health benefits than regular teas thanks to their beneficial probiotics and a large number of antioxidants, capable of eliminating harmful bacteria and preventing some diseases.
How is Kombucha Tea made?
First, special strains of bacteria, yeast, and some sugar are added to green or black teas, then the tea is incubated for a week or more, in which the microorganisms ferment the tea.
As a result, bacteria and yeast form a fungus-like layer on the surface of the tea. This is why Kombucha is also known as “fungus tea”. In this process, a SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast) was used to ferment and produce Kombucha tea.
The fermentation also produces acetic acid (found in vinegar) along with several other acidic compounds and a tiny amount of alcohol and gas. Last but not least, large amounts of bacteria grow in the mixture. Therefore, Kombucha tea is a food source that contains many beneficial bacteria and has many health benefits.
Kombucha tea benefits
Kombucha is made from green tea, so it offers the same health benefits like burning excess calories, reducing belly fat, improving cholesterol levels, helping control blood sugar levels, and many other benefits.
Recent studies also show that Kombucha is rich in antioxidants that have a protective effect on the liver and reduce the accumulation of toxic substances there.
In vitro tests also show that kombucha helps prevent the growth and spread of cancer cells due to its high concentration of polyphenols and antioxidants.
Despite the benefits that Kombucha brings, we also need to be careful in making Kombucha as contamination or over-fermentation can cause serious health problems for the users. Therefore, we should consider and learn carefully how to process, preserve, and use it. Currently, on the market, there are very convenient bottled Kombucha teas produced on technological lines that ensure strict criteria on microorganisms, food safety, and quality for consumers.
