什麼是康普茶？| What is Kombucha?
‘’康普茶‘’是英文‘’Kombucha‘’音譯而來，是一款以茶湯加入糖與共生菌(SCOBY)經數週至數月靜置發酵而成的天然茶飲，不同的茶葉可以釀製成不同風味的康普茶。康普茶相傳是源自於中國的一種古老茶飲，時間可以追朔到秦朝，秦人相信這種飲品可以平衡內臟功能和促進復原能力、強身健體，故稱它為「不朽茶」，後來經西域傳到東歐，再傳入西歐。如今康普茶在歐美國家紅遍大街小巷，許多藝人都是他的忠實粉絲，堪稱是好喝又健康的機能性飲料。 由於康普茶富含天然的有機酸、益生菌、維生素B、茶多酚及葡萄糖醛酸等對人體有益成分，喝起來自然帶有酸的口感。
Kombucha is a fermented tea that has been consumed for over two millennia. Tea (white, green, oolong, black) is fermented with cane sugar to produce a slightly acidic-tasting, carbonated tea beverage rich in antioxidants.

康普茶的製成過程裡由: 茶、酵母菌、醋酸菌、乳酸菌與蔗糖一同發酵。在發酵過程裡，蔗糖用以供給菌叢們足夠的養分，待發酵過程趨近完成時，糖已經分解至低糖的比例，您可以參照開康普茶的營養標示說明來選用。
In order for the fermentation to start, there must be three elements: Tea, Sugar, and SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). Sugar feeds the yeast and bacteria; after some time it’s turned into water, CO2, acetic acid, lactic acid, gluconic acid, glucuronic acid, antioxidants, trace amounts of alcohol, and other healthy components. We don’t add extra sugar after the fermentation is finished.

Alcohol is a natural by-product of fermentation. The beneficial bacteria consume the ethanol to create the beneficial organic acids. We test every batch to ensure alcohol content is below 0.5%. If you’re pregnant or allergic to alcohol, please consult your doctor before drinking a kombucha.
