DID YOU KNOW THAT almost 70% of our immune system is located in our digestive tract? The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract—also called the digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the . The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine— which includes the rectum and .

These particular set of organs digest all the food and drink we consume on a daily basis, extract nutrients and produce vitamins, enzymes and hosts a whole gamut of micro-organisms (good and bad bacteria) that helps our body and mind function.

Bacteria in the GI tract, also called gut flora or microbiome, help with digestion

The biggest discovery of Scientists today is that our immune system is definitely influenced by the VARIETY and AMOUNT of good bacteria INSIDE our GUT MICROBIOME. So it pays to keep our gut healthy by consuming WHOLE FOODS including fermented food and drinks (such as Kombucha, Kefir, Yogurt, etc etc).

What is KOMBUCHA?

Kombucha has been consumed for thousands of years and is a Fermented probiotic drink that originated from China but oftentimes is credited to be originated from Russia.

It is made from tea, sugar, a SCOBY and a starter tea from a previous batch (you will need a starter kit " SCOBY or Mushroom + Starter Tea" to start brewing Kombucha).

The sugar and caffeine is used all up in the fermentation process so don’t worry, it has very little (if any) caffeine or sugar in the final product.

A SCOBY is an acronym for symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast. In short, it’s beneficial bacteria and yeasts that work synergistically together to produce a certain type of ferment.

Kombucha is brewed (or fermented) over a course of 7-21 days. The final product is naturally carbonated making this a fizzy and tasty drink.

The true origins of Kombucha and the mother culture are unknown. Somewhere along the lines of history a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) formed to make a good tasting sweet and sour beverage. If you want to drink this stuff regularly, then you might as well start making it yourself.

WHY DO I NEED A SCOBY?
Without a SCOBY, you have no way to ferment Kombucha. People ferment their own Kombucha for many reasons. Saving a lot of money is a big motivator for some, while others seek experimentation with flavors not available commercially. More importantly, it is fun and easy to ferment it yourself.

The SCOBY is what initiates the fermentation process in sweet green or black tea (or any tea from the Camellia sinensis plant). The SCOBY is sometimes incorrectly referred to as a mushroom. It is a gelatinous-like disk that generally floats at the top of a jar of kombucha-in-the-making. The bacteria and yeast ferment (consume) the sugar and tea until it is slightly sour and bubbly.
