Kombucha tea is a sweetened tisane produced through fermentation. It has been claimed as the "fountain of youth", but only you can be the judge of such a claim. Plain kombucha has an acidic, vinegar-like flavor in addition to the original sweet tea flavor. The strength of the tea flavor can be adjusted with the amount of tea bags brewed per volume of water. It usually has a mild to moderate carbonated texture. In commercial brands, some have a sweet taste, others do not. This depends on length of brewing time, or if the manufacturer has added sugar to the final product. Kombucha also comes in different flavors. This is usually done by adding juices to the base tea after fermentation/incubation has completed. I'd highly recommend trying different pre-made kombuchas before making it yourself. Kombucha is available at most health food stores, and the organic section of some regular grocery stores.
