What it is:

Fermented Tea

Health benefits:

Fermented foods support a healthy gut microbiome.  A healthy gut microbiome supports improved immune function, digestion, sleep and mood.

How I use it:

I’ve tried several of the flavors and have enjoyed them all, but the Fire flavor with Ginger and Cayenne is my favorite!  I take a swig or two daily (1-2oz) typically after eating something savory.  I usually get through one 12 oz bottle in about 4 days.

How I found it:

Home brewed kombucha is kind of a thing in Asheville.  It is common to find local brewers at the farmers’ markets around town.  I came across Buchi Kombucha in my local Whole Foods and saw that it was a local brew and decided to give it a try.  And boy!  I’m sooooo glad I did! Love this stuff.

Why I use it:

Honestly the #1 reason I consume this product is because it is FREAKIN’ DECLICIOUS.  The amazing health benefits are just the proverbial icing on the cake.  I also love that this brand is pretty dang low in sugar content relative to other brands.  For anyone trying to break a soft drink habit, this is an amazing alternative.  Not only does Kombucha provide wonderful health benefits, but I find the taste and fizz is better than any of my former favorite soft drinks.
