An Organic Energy Drink Brimming with Nutrients


"Kombucha Wonder Drink" is a traditional fermented beverage from Russia and Asia, made by fermenting black or oolong tea. Its history is ancient, said to have been consumed by the warriors serving Genghis Khan to heal fatigue during their expeditions.

In fact, it even caused a boom in Japan in the late 1970s as "Koucha Kinoko" (Black Tea Mushroom). The name came from the appearance of the "SCOBY," the mother culture, which resembles a mushroom.

During fermentation, the bacteria produce abundant nutrients such as organic acids (gluconic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid), amino acids, and polyphenols. These are believed to improve gut health, digestion, and metabolism, as well as aid in fatigue recovery, skin beauty, and bodily detoxification. This is why health-conscious international celebrities like Miranda Kerr are avid drinkers.

It has a refreshing, fruity-soda-like tartness with a light, effervescent texture. Being tea-based, it's also pleasingly low in calories, with about a quarter or less of the sugar content found in typical carbonated drinks or juices.

In recent years, as health consciousness rises in America, kombucha is becoming a phenomenon, with kombucha bars and stands popping up one after another. Kombucha Wonder Drink is poised to be the catalyst that guides Japan into its own fascinating world of fermentation.
