But where does this rare tea come from?

It all started in China, around 221 BC: the emperor Qin Shi Huang was already sipping glasses of Kombucha, to become immortal. He called this drink "Divine Tsche" or tea of immortality. The first writings on Kombucha were found in the 19th century. At the time, several scientists were studying the subject, including Robert D. Thomson who presented his work on the fermentation of vinegar. In the 80's and 90's, Kombucha was popularized and sold on the American market.

What does Kombucha look like?

Kombucha is the result of the fermentation of yeast and bacteria. This tea contains grapes, sugar and honey. Resembling the texture of a Japanese mushroom, called "Kombu", this viscous texture gives the tea its name "Kombucha".
