"Kombucha (also tea mushroom, tea fungus, or Manchurian mushroom when referring to the culture; Latin name Medusomyces gisevii) is a fermented, lightly effervescent, sweetened black or green tea drink commonly consumed for its purported health benefits. Sometimes the beverage is called kombucha tea to distinguish it from the culture of bacteria and yeast. Juice, spices, fruit or other flavorings are often added to enhance the taste of the beverage.
Kombucha is thought to have first originated in China where the drink is traditional. By the early 20th century it had spread to Germany, Russia, and other parts of Eastern Europe. Kombucha is now homebrewed globally, and also bottled and sold commercially by various companies." - (en.wikipedia.org 31.07.2021)
