Kombucha and Health
This my first bit of input, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share my (sort-of) personal experience with the Kombucha tea.
When I was first introduced to this amazing but weird drink, I was told that a lot of its positive properties and benefits haven’t even been explored yet. Well, she didn’t know how right she was! Once I was drinking it on a regular basis, I noticed that my weight was dropping (YAY!)
My mother-in-law was suffering from diabetes, multiple allergies, such as latex along with many others, and cataracts. So I shared my “secret drink” with her just to see if it could help her. At the time I didn’t know very much about the Kombucha tea—only how to make it. I was, by the way, taught to not let any metal touch the culture and during all parts of the preparation process after the brewing of the black tea, so I always wore gloves or took my rings off to handle it.
Well, long story short, after a few weeks, once she started drinking the fermented tea my mother-in-law started noticing that she was not using her insulin as much, was taking less doses of her allergy medication, and even her cataracts were getting better to the point where she could avoid surgery on her eyes as long as she drank the yummy drink. (She thought it tasted like peach cider.)
This was 13 years ago. In the transition of moving from the state we were living in to Michigan, where we are now, my culture was lost (10 years ago). I have put on a lot of weight due to hypothyroidism and much less mobility due to an auto accident, so I MUST HAVE another Kombucha “shroom” for making my magic drink again. This was the first contact I have had since then (found it on the internet, of course), so I intend to get another one ASAP.

I love Kombucha. I drink about 3/4 cup every morning when i wake up. It helps me to open my eyes and actually helps to defog my brain that early in the morning. I work very long hours and I've noticed Kombucha helps me to focused throughout the day. I also suffer from IBS (used to suffer from it until Kombucha that is) and with my long work days I now can feel healthy all day thanks to the balancing effect it has on my body.
My skin is clearer, my hair shinier and I don't fluctuate with my weight as much as I used to.

I have not been sick other than a few minor sniffles since I started incorporating kombucha and fermented foods into my diet about 3 years ago. I truly believe that probiotics and fermented foods are a miracle cure for the 21st century. I talk about probiotics to anyone who will listen to me. Thank you for promoting this easy/relatively inexpensive way to good health!

Kombucha Kits
Thank you, Hannah for all the special attention. I'll adhere to your instructions...we've done this twice before, and each time, we feel so great---then I get scared! Thank you for helping me understand the 'in's and out's'...sometimes it feels like when we try to take our health back, that it's a battle!

Thank you for all the info. I ordered from you after having tried to brew from another company starter but failed due to a lack of clear instructions. I was nervous about trying again but really wanted to brew my own Kombucha and share with friends. Thank you for the preliminary info as this restored confidence. The instructions were clear. My brew was a success!! Thank you!!

Kombucha Kamp was a blast! I have to admit that I wasn’t even sure what kombucha was before I signed up (though I was intrigued), and now, I’m a full-fledged kombucha fan! Your passion for kombucha and your deep knowledge about the drink is incredible — I’ve never seen anything like it! Thank you so much for such a great class... I had no idea I would have such a wonderful time and learn so much!

Thank you very much for all your help, this is definitely a learning process. And its quite exciting. I finished my first batch of kombucha that I let brew for 15 days and I was surprised that it tasted sweet to me, I guess I was expecting it to be really vinegary. Thank you for all of the wonderful videos you post, I enjoyed watching them. Now I'm going to try flavoring kombucha like you show in your videos. I appreciate all the tips you gave to.

I was a loyal consumer of GT's Kombucha, so it was a nasty shock when they disappeared from the shelves. Drinking Kombucha helped me in so many ways; it helped clear up a re-occurring sinus infection (I took antibiotics, but it kept coming back worse. After discovering Kombucha, the last time it went away, it didn't re-occur.) It took away my depressive moods, it took my appetite way down, and increased my energy level. I dedicated a large portion of my food budget to buying it.
Saturday, I received my first Kombucha kit, and brewed my first batch of Kombucha. I'm enclosing a picture I took today - it's just day 2 and my Scoby has grown so much! I'm really looking forward to being self-sufficient about making my own Kombucha.
I'll keep you posted about my progress. Thanks for being you.

I just thought I'd let you know that I've bookmarked Kombuchakamp! What an awesome job you're doing educating the world about kombucha. I am a new consumer of it, have been drinking GT Dave's for only 3 months, and have experienced some really wonderful benefits already. Most importantly, I've been able to improve my sleep (I have bouts of insomnia).
Some day, with your website's help, I will start brewing my own!

I learned so much from you about how to brew kombucha, how to make different flavors of kombucha, how easy and economical it is to make kombucha at home, how unnecessary it is to buy it in the store, and, most importantly, how fun it is to make kombucha! I now have it brewing in my kitchen which makes for interesting conversation every time I have a houseguest! And, of course, I drink it every day which makes me feel so good.

Continuous Brewing
I waited a long time before finally taking the plunge with this thing. I wish I had just made the jump sooner just in the time I save going to the store to buy and the money too. Continuous brew is easy and now I just have my kids do it…Even with both Jim and Jenny and my husband all drinking we have enough. Plus, I cleaned it once last year.
