Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage that has been consumed for centuries, with its origins traced back to Northeast China around 220 B.C.

Kombucha is made by fermenting sweetened tea with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). The SCOBY forms a gelatinous layer on the surface of the tea and is responsible for the fermentation process.
