Organic Kombucha Acerola and Ginger 330ml

Kombucha is a very interesting drink that originated in East Asia. The base is sweetened tea (green or black) to which kombucha cultures are added and left to infuse for 7 to 10 days. The length of the fermentation process also affects the resulting taste. The longer, the more intense the taste. The result is a refreshing, slightly fizzy drink that is light brown to green in colour but not too sweet. This is because the kombucha cultures consume most of the sugar during the fermentation process. 

VIGO's longbrew range is fermented for 10 days. During that time, the kombucha cultures transform the original tea infusion into a highly probiotic, enzymatic drink with a fresh, biting taste. Acerola from the Amazon rainforest and ginger from India give kombucha a fruity, slightly spicy flavour.

The kombucha itself (sometimes incorrectly referred to as a mushroom) is a symbiotic formation composed of acetic bacteria and yeast. The exact ratio of the different bacteria is a trade secret, but we can tell you that in VIGO kombuchas you will find a combination of vinegar bacteria (mainly Gluconacetobacter and bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus) as well as yeast cultures (genus Saccharomyces). Kombucha is shaped like a grey-brown rubbery pancake. 

Kombucha has a long tradition in East Asia. In Japan it was known as early as 400 AD, and in China it was worshipped as a divine gift. Over the centuries, the natural refreshing drink has made its way to Europe.
