This unique tea blend combines high-quality Sencha Japanese green tea with plum pieces, delicate mallow flowers, and a powdered kombucha extract to create a truly special infusion. The addition of the dry kombucha extract reactivates upon steeping, enriching the tea with beneficial probiotics that support and nourish the gut microbiome.

Kombucha is a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, often abbreviated as SCOBY. This living culture contains billions of beneficial microorganisms such as lactobacillus and bifidus, which have gained significant attention for their positive impact on digestive health. When consumed, these “friendly” bacteria help to strengthen and balance the natural flora of the digestive tract, promoting overall wellness.

The traditional method involves brewing a sweetened tea base and fermenting it with a SCOBY at room temperature for about a week. During this fermentation, the culture metabolizes the sugar, creating a lightly effervescent, tangy beverage rich in probiotics.

In this tea blend, rather than fermenting directly, a dry kombucha extract is added to Sencha tea, combining the benefits of kombucha with the smooth, vegetal notes of premium green tea. The floral aroma from mallow blossoms and the natural sweetness of plum complement the blend perfectly, creating a gentle and fragrant infusion reminiscent of a floral tea.

Ingredients: Sencha Chinese green tea, powdered kombucha extract, plum, mallow flowers, natural flavors.

This kombucha-infused green tea is an excellent choice for those seeking to enjoy the health benefits of probiotics in a delicate, flavorful cup. For a deeper dive into the history and properties of kombucha, please visit our blog.
