Kombucha, Tea of Immortality


Have you ever heard the word Kombucha? Kombucha, also called as “tea of Kombu”, is a fermented solution of tea, sugar, and Kombu “fungus”. Fermentation of Kombucha produces lactate acid that can help improving body’s metabolism.

The word Kombucha comes from Kombu and Cha. Kombu is the name of Korean physician, and Cha means tea. In 414 BC, physician Kombu recovered Japanese emperor, Inkyo, from chronic indigestion. Kombu suggests the patient to consume tea water mixed with the “fungus”. After consuming Kombu’s ingredient, the emperor recovers from his disease. As appreciation for Kombu’s assistance, the emperor named Kombu’s ingredient as Kombucha.

Kombu “fungus” is not a fungus in the real meaning. It is a white gelatin sheet organism with thickness between 0.3 – 1.2 cm and covered with elastic membrane. The Kombu “fungus” is a colony of many bacteria’s yeast. One of them is Saccharomyces ludwigii, that symbiosis with Bacterium zylinum and other organism.
