That is why our raw, living kombuchas like SYNERGY Raw Kombucha and CLASSIC Kombucha are never heated or treated and always undiluted and unfiltered. This means kombucha should never be pasteurized, diluted, or filtered. How exactly? Keeping the kombucha in its authentic state is the best way to ensure it keeps its benefits. Now that the kombucha is made, the final step is to keep it alive so it can retain the nutrients and benefits from the living cultures and active enzymes. Once the kombucha base is properly fermented (for best results, 30- 45 days ), it can be combined with fresh fruit and vegetable juices, herbs, and natural essences for flavor.
Kombucha can be brewed using cane sugar, kiwi juice, or even honey as food for the SCOBY to fuel fermentation.
Through this fermentation process, acetic acid, active enzymes, polyphenols, and living probiotics are produced, assisting in the creation of a tart flavor and natural effervescence. The yeast consumes and ferments the sugar in the sweetened tea and naturally produces ethanol alcohol. The SCOBY is a living culture made of bacteria and yeast that looks like a slick pancake and aids in the fermentation process used to make kombucha. There would be no kombucha with the SCOBY.
