Why I Started Brewing My Own Kombucha

There are a number of different health benefits from drinking Kombucha and it seems to be growing in popularity as we learn to take better care of our bodies. Kombucha is a fermented tea drink that has a slight vinegar taste that can be accompanied with a fruit juice. Here are a few of the benefits that have been noted by Kombucha drinkers:

• Detoxification
• Improved Digestion
• Immune System Stimulation
• Arthritis Prevention
• Cancer Prevention
• Cholesterol Reduction
• Energy Enhancement
• Weight Loss
• Enhanced Athletic Performance
• Mood Enhancement

With all of these fantastic benefits its easy to see why people have turned to Kombucha to enhance their health. There a number of different Kombuchas you can buy in the stores but they can be pricey and if your anything like me you will want to get healthy and save money at the same time. 

Brewing your own Kombucha is super simple and Karma Cultures has everything you need to get started and their customer service is unbeatable. Karma Cultures has set out to make the process of Kombucha so easy and uncomplicated that essentially anyone can brew Kombucha with confidence.

A couple things to be aware of. You should not serve or consume too much Kombucha as it does have a slight alcohol level within it due to the fermentation. It is not recommended to serve to children for this exact reason, it would be like giving them a beer. Do some research and ask questions and the best person to ask is just below!

Here's a bit about the owner of Karma Cultures Lea Ann:

When I first started to share my kombucha cultures with friends and family, I found many of them were overwhelmed and even afraid to try brewing kombucha themselves. I think they were worried they might make a mistake and, as a result, their kombucha could be ruined or even unsafe. I also think they were afraid the process would be time-consuming and take a lot more effort than they were willing to put out for homemade kombucha. The risk seemed to outweigh the reward—at least in their minds. While I understood their concerns, I also knew they were not necessarily valid.

So, with these worries in mind, I set out to make the process so easy and uncomplicated that essentially anyone could brew kombucha with confidence. And that is what I did.

Today Karma Cultures offers an all-in-one starter kit that includes not only all of the ingredients you will need to make kombucha but also all the equipment you will need to successfully brew at home with ease.

I think the biggest drawback to people who want home-brewed kombucha is the unknown. Like my family and friends who were unsure about how to successfully make their own kombucha, many people think it will be too hard or complicated. But the truth is, brewing kombucha at home does not have to be a chore.

The Karma Cultures Kombucha Easy Brew Kit is available here at the KARMA SHOP. It takes all the guesswork out of home brewing. Now, hundreds of kits and scobies later, we now also offer water kefir and Jun tea scobies. And for those of you who want to know everything there is about kombucha, my new book is just around the corner. For those of you who want the one-on-one, personal instruction experience, I will also be offering an online course shortly.

So, check us out. Be confident, be bold, and happy brewing!
