Kombucha Wonder Drink is a
refreshing organic sparkling fermented tea. A nutritional breath of
fresh air.
HOW DO YOU SAY 'KOMBUCHA'?
It is commonly pronounced Kom-BOO-cha. Some people may call it Kom
bu-kuh or Kom-boo-sha. Just nod approvingly.
WHAT DOES KOMBUCHA WONDERD DRINK TASTE
LIKE?
Kombucha Wonder Drink has an appealing effervescence. It is slightly
sweet, slightly tart and wildly good. The first sip brings your mouth
to life. One sip makes you want to take another, or share it with a
friend; it’s that incredible! Unlike sugared teas and soda it’s lighter
than you’d expect and very clean tasting and refreshing. Our brewing
process is what sets Kombucha Wonder Drink apart from all other drinks
you can find. People throughout the world love Kombucha drinks and opt
for them
instead of juice, cider, coffee, wine, beer, and even water.

EVERY BOTTLED DRINK IS
MAKING SOME HEALTH CLAIM. IS THIS DRINK REALLY GOOD FOR ME?
Kombucha Wonder Drink isn't just some concoction of additives. Read the
label. Our ingredient list is short, simple, and all natural. The green
and oolong teas in Kombucha Wonder Drink are high in antioxidants and
the kombucha helps detoxify your body. Kombucha has
a reputation for giving one a sense of well-being. People also
believe kombucha can relieve a myriad of health ailments, as well as
help prevent major health problems from developing, and some believe
kombucha can extend life. Scientists are still working on
substantiating these claims. True believers drink daily.
We often receive messages from KWD
believers who love our beverages because they taste good and are
natural. There are also several KWD believers who think the drinks
bring other benefits to them. A Dayton, OH, nurse, for example, found
her chronic
stomach ailments eased up after she began drinking KWD. A Portland, OR,
woman's persistent foot fungus cleared up after just a couple of weeks
of drinking Kombucha Wonder Drink. A Bozeman, MT, fan drives several
hours a week to buy KWD, which she now drinks instead of coffee every
morning. Other Wonder Drinkers tell us they have cured colds, cleared
up psoriasis, and alleviated nausea.

WHAT IS KOMBUCHA? I HAVE
HEARD THAT IT IS A MUSHROOM, OR A MUSHROOM TEA?
There are no mushrooms, only folklore to try to explain this unique
natural process. Making kombucha requires a starter culture (very much
like a sourdough starter or yogurt culture) to turn tea into this
wonderful drink. Technically, it is a cellulose fiber mat (also called
‘scoby’ or ‘mother’). These cultures come form Nepal, China and
Siberia, some dating back thousands of years. Kombucha has to be shared
to be created. It is social; it connects people, something we could all
use more of today.
Our company, Kombucha Wonder Drink, developed a proprietary process to
bring the benefits of this ancient beverage to you. The
process of producing kombucha generates glucuronic acid, which,
according to Sally Fallon (Nourishing Traditions, New Trends
Publishing, 1999), can be "a powerful aid to the body's natural
cleansing process, a boost to the immune system and a proven
prophylactic against cancer and other degenerative diseases." For
even more information, click here.
HOW MUCH SUGAR,
CAFFEINE AND
CARBS DOES KOMBUCHA WONDER DRINK HAVE?
There are less than 16.25g of carbs (8g sugar in three of our flavors,
14g or less in the other two) and less than 1/3 of the amount of
caffeine in coffee per bottle. With 65 calories or less, antioxidants
from natural tea and detoxifiers from kombucha, Kombucha Wonder Drink
is a natural
alternative to other drinks that tweak your system.
SINCE IT IS FERMENTED, DOESN'T
IT CONTAIN ALCOHOL?
The fermentation process provides a natural lift without relying on
sugar, caffeine and surprisingly no alcohol. That's the Wonder of it!
DOES IT HAVE TO BE
REFRIGERATED?
Kombucha Wonder Drink tastes best very cold. Serve chilled in a
champagne glass or right out of the bottle.
WHAT EFFECTS DOES PASTEURIZING HAVE ON
THE KOMBUCHA CULTURE?
The benefits of Kombucha are in the acids that are created
during fermentation. These acids help detoxify your body and are not
affected by pasteurizing.
IS KOMBUCHA WONDER DRINK
CARBONATED?
To enhance the zing of our beverages, we add a little carbonation.
I'VE HEARD KOMBUCHA WONDER
DRINK
DESCRIBED AS BRINGING A NEW TASTE SENSATION. IS THAT TRUE?
Those
who drink Kombucha Wonder Drink for the first time describe a sensation
previously unknown to them. We nicknamed it “the 6th taste”…(after the
4 basic tastes —sweet, sour, salty, bitter— and a 5th one called umami).
WHERE CAN I FIND
KOMBUCHA WONDER
DRINK?
You may purchase Kombucha Wonder Drink at your local
upscale or natural food store, select restaurants, cafés, coffee
houses, independent movie theaters, delis, pizzerias, bakeries, ale
houses and spas.

MORE ABOUT KOMBUCHA WONDER DRINK?

experts on the Internet. But the best information might be from your
friends. Look them up and share a story or two.
