They had been the Japanese that had taken it for the remaining portion of the world, over all to the Asian countries where if it became over all popular in Russia, later in Germany and France in XX century, recently in California where already 5 million consumers exist more than. 3- What it contains the tea of Kombucha? When the mushroom is placed in an infusion of sugar tea, its process of fermentation starts immediately. The mushroom goes to feed sugar of course and to produce little of alcohol (less than 1%) and still: Acid that they help to take off ambient and metabolic toxins of our body before they consume it without however acidifying the blood.
