Kombucha has been providing health and vitality in small villages across Asia and Europe for thousands of years, originating in Manchuria around 220 BC. Kombucha is a living symbiotic colony of beneficial yeast and bacteria.

The culture floats atop an infusion of tea and sugar, and through the natural process of fermentation converts the sugar into organic acids and carbon dioxide. At the same time it produces a variety of other compounds that are detoxifying and nutritious to the human body, including gluconic, lactic, and folic acids. The resultant mixture is high in B-vitamins as well as an assortment of pro-biotics (beneficial bacteria including lactobacillus acidophilus and s.Boulardii).

This had a nice berry flavor- I was surprised that it wasn’t sweet- I loved the fizziness and tartness of the drink.

Knowing that the Green Lovin Kombucha had algae and mushrooms in it didn’t make me too excited to drink it- let’s just say I had a bad experience with seaweed once I haven’t ever forgotten it. Moving on, this was actually quite tasty and it didn’t taste at all like algae or mushrooms-it was tart, tangy yet good.

It’s hard to say which Kombucha was my favorite, but I have to say that the Bliss Berry was definitely on the top of the list. I loved the Berry Flavors and the tartness- I could definitely taste the blueberries in this drink- mmmm…delish!

 One thing about these drinks are that they go really well with sweet foods- I loved the combo of the tart Kombuchas with my sweet fruit salad in the mornings. I loved the Ginger Devotion- you can definitely taste the ginger in this drink, very yummy- if you are a fan of ginger, you will love this drink!

While I loved all of the Raw Kombucha drinks, I’m not really a fan of the whole New Age- Buddha thing, however, I still liked all of the Katalyst Kombucha drinks- they were all very delicious and I like the great health benefits as well.
