Product Description

What is Kombucha?

Kombucha is one of the popular probiotic drink prepared with the Kombucha Scoby. Kombucha is a sweet tea mixed with sugar that gets brewed with the application of scoby.

Kombucha starter kit includes scoby also called as mushroom, mother culture, and, black or green tea, and sugar. The scoby bacteria and yeast absorb the sugar from the tea and gives it a fizzy and slight sour flavor. It is very easy to prepare Kombucha at home.

Kombucha starter culture consists of a combination of yeast and bacteria. When fermented with tea and sugar for 7 to 8 days, you will get the fizzy and tasty kombucha drink.

The drink contains a little amount of alcohol because of the fermentation process. Fruit juices, spices, and different types of other flavors are sometimes added to make the drink more tasty and flavorsome.

Although there are a lot of opposite opinions regarding the benefits of drinking Kombucha, it has been widely accepted across the world as a healthy natural drink.

What is the difference between Kombucha and Kefir?

Kombucha is a fermented tea whereas Kefir is a water or milk based fermented drink.

Incase of Kombucha, an acronym of bacteria and yeast called scoby is used to initiate the fermentation process. Water based kefir is a carbohydrate containing fermented drink. Milk based kefir is usually prepared from goat’s milk, cow’s milk etc.

Though Kombucha and kefir, both the fermented drinks contain rich nutrients, kefir contains more amount of lactic acid bacteria as it is prepared from milk. Kefir should be consumed as a probiotic supplement whereas kombucha is more helpful for treating digestive issues.

Kombucha has a considerable amount of caffeine in it as it is produced from tea. Milk based kefir is a good source of calcium.

I bought kefir grains from Nature’s Kefir and started consuming kefir daily some months ago. The grains were just the right amount for half-litre milk culture over 24 hours and have given me a steady output of kefir since then. In fact, the grains double up in quantity every few weeks or so. Drinking kefir has been a game-changer for me. My digestion improved, naturally. Everyone expects it to. But most importantly, my moods have evened out and thus my will-power increased! I think it’s because I no longer feel blue most of the time, I have more energy to do the things I plan. The importance of gut bacteria is established by gut-brain axis. It worked on me. I took a chance and am very happy with the results!

I was not aware of probiotics until my son had food intolerance. Kefir is one of the great probiotics which will heal the gut and replenish good bacteria. I ordered grains twice from Nature’s Kefir which are ofcourse of good quality. Since I’m new to kefir, they patiently answered all my queries whenever I called them. Thanks and Kudos to their dedication👌🏻

“Nature’s Kefir has the best quality water kefir grains I have come across online. I’ve previously purchased grains from another website, which did not work and grow and they never bothered to reply to messages or emails. Nature’s Kefir is genuine and they send you grains in enough quantity to get started with brewing. The live grains I purchased from Nature’s Kefir make for a delicious fizzy brew. Vignesh is very responsive to messages and prompt in shipping orders. Definitely recommend buying from a genuine seller like them. Please do give them a try.”

The first few batches of Water Kefir grains were excellent.

The most recent batch is a problem. It’s doesn’t seem to ferment the sugar water as it did with previous samples.

I’m fully satisfied with the service from Vighnesh.

Also, I am very happy with the orders placed before this.

Best,

Dr Pinto

I was worried about the culturing how to know fermentation is done or not, there is no sign for complete fermentation. I had gone through the instructions but I wasn’t satisfied. I did everything as manual said but I couldn’t get good results And called the customer support after the conversation I have found the problem, I have kept the jar closed cupboard there was no air circulation so my grains were not grown.

Now I am making very good and making way is very simple and easy, me and our family enjoying water kefir with fruit flavours…

I bought milk kefir grains 6 months before, initially I couldn’t find the grains I thought I was cheated and I called to customer support, i have explained what I had experience. He said we are getting lot of complaints from the customers as you said.

He asked few questions about the making.

I did everything right and finally what I did was I have left only 15 hours fermentation so my fermentation is not completed in 15 hours, we need to leave it minimum 24 hours fermentation, now I am making kefir well…
