Kombucha Tea
Reputed benefits from drinking Kombucha Tea

Kombucha tea is a delicious healing and detoxifying drink. The first difference people notice is increased energy and better skin colour. It has a reputation for healing hundreds of different ailments, and is renowned as an anti-ageing treatment and secret to retaining youthful looks. It is an effective chelator that removes heavy metals and a wide range of other toxins from your body. People who drink it seem to be healthier and younger-looking than the rest of the population. Being healthy on the inside has to reflect on the outside!
Kombucha tea is made using a culture, filtered water, sugar, black tea and in this instance, fruit flavoured herbal teas. The fermenting process transforms the tea into enzymes, vitamins and organic acids.
Probiotic: Kombucha tea encourages the growth of beneficial bifida bacteria in your intestines, particularly those that produce lactic acid. Bifida are similar to acidophilus bacteria, the active organisms in live yoghurt. Kombucha tea produces two organic acids, lactic acid and acetic acid, which accelerate this pro-biotic effect. Lactic acid is essential for healthy digestive action and for energy production by the liver. Acetic acid is an antiseptic and inhibitor of pathogenic bacteria.
Detoxifier: Glycuronic acid (GA) binds toxins in your liver, and makes them water-soluble. Your kidneys then eliminate these toxins in your urine.
Skin: Kombucha tea improves your skin elasticity, tone and colour. It acts as a humectant (moisturiser). People report a reduction of wrinkles, scarring, freckles, brown age spots and rashes.
Kombucha Tea is an ideal beverage to drink, along with water, following an exercise regime and/or massage, to assist the body with the elimination process of toxins. Enjoy.

I decided that my focus with the stall at today’s Lions Trash n Treasure Market, needed to be on the promotion of the benefits of Kombucha Tea.
A “Tasting Now” sign hung invitingly on the front of my stall.
I had two flavours. Apricot and Cranberry & Apple. Once again I was positioned on the shaded/cold side of the main street. The day promised sunshine and warm temperatures so I was optimistic. My plan was to educate and market the Kombucha Tea.

It wasn’t until I poured out Kombucha ready to taste, that I attracted some interest. Each person who tried the tea was suitably impressed and very interested in how it is made and from what. It is a Fermented Tea that has been around for eons and widely used in Asia and Northern Europe.

I realised that I didn’t have printed material on the benefits of Kombucha for people to take with them or read on my website/blog. So that is my next move, to have it available to read here and printouts on the day. In order to raise my profile, I shall be a regular feature at this monthly market. Raising awareness through education and building trustworthy relationships is the key.

A big “Thank-you” to all of you who chose to take some tea home. May it serve you well.

In Love, Laughter and Gratitude, Rose
