Kombucha!

by laurel on May 4, 2011

I was always kind of “eh” about kombucha tea, until I tried some great local brands here in NYC. Now I’m crazy for the stuff. Kombucha is a fermented tea that’s been praised for its health benefits for centuries including increased energy, improved digestion, and prevention/treatment of illnesses including common flu and cancer.

I started drinking more kombucha over the last month or two after I stocked up on a bunch of bottles at the NYC Veg Food Fest. This is my personal opinion, but I definitely feel like a get an energy boost after drinking it and I especially love how it eases my digestion.

A few my local favorites are Kombucha Brooklyn’s grape flavor (kombucha mixed with a little concord grape juice) and Bao Fresh Kombucha’s mango flavor. I’ve even been thinking of buying one of the brew kits from Kombucha Brooklyn to make my own ‘buch at home. Hmm.

What’s your thoughts on kombucha? You like it? Or think it’s gross? Never tried it?

Love kombucha – the Synergy/GT brands as well as my own. I loved being able to get local kombucha on tap when we visited Asheville this winter!

I love it! I have never made my own. Want to do that someday!

I loved the kombucha we made – but I stopped making it because we couldn’t drink it all! There’s a link to the method I used in meh blog: http://sureyouenjoyit.blogspot.com/2007/07/kombucha.html. Let me know if you make some.

Hi Laurel! Many athletes say they get a boost from Kombucha too, so you’re not the only one saying that! :) You may find over time that the Kombucha changes your taste and you will be drawn to the less sweet flavors and start to crave the sour punch of full strength Kombucha.

Thanks for spreading the kombucha love! :)
