Kombucha is fermented tea, described as tasting similar to sour apple cider, originating from north-east China. The drink had been a hipster favourite for years but has recently burst into the mainstream and on supermarket shelves everywhere. It is said to contain beneficial probiotics, antioxidants that help fight off diseases, antibacterial properties that suppress the growth of undesirable bacteria and yeast, and is even said to reduce the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.
