Kombucha – What exactly is it, and how to do you ship it?

Posted by Jim MacGregor on

Kombucha is a fermented tea that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is made by adding a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (known as a SCOBY) to sweetened tea. The mixture is then left to ferment for several days, resulting in a slightly effervescent, slightly sour, and slightly sweet beverage.


One of the main benefits of kombucha is that it is a probiotic-rich drink. Probiotics are live microorganisms that can have beneficial effects on the gut, by helping to balance the gut microbiome. This can help to improve digestion, boost immunity, and even promote mental well-being. May companies are now canning kombucha, making it easier to transport.


 


Another benefit of kombucha is that it can help to detoxify the body. The fermentation process creates organic acids, such as acetic acid and gluconic acid, which can help to break down toxins in the body. Additionally, the antioxidants found in tea may also help to neutralize free radicals, which can cause damage to cells. So how do you make it? Well just check out the vid below.



Canned Kombucha is also a low-calorie alternative to sugary drinks and can be a good option for those looking to reduce their sugar intake. Most commercial kombucha contains a small amount of residual sugar, and it can be a great alternative to soda, juice or energy drinks.  Cans of Kombucha come 12oz standard  cans as well as 12oz sleek style cans.



Many small companies are brewing kombucha, but the 3 largest kombucha companies are GT’s KombuchaKeVita and Health-Ade. Some of the smaller kombucha brewers that are gaining popularity are RemedyBambucha, and Rowdy Mermaid.


 


So how the heck to do you ship kombucha? Shipping kombucha cans is easier than it sounds. Most of the time, it needs to be cold when shipped. If you’re looking to ship cold cans of kombucha, check out our Thermal Pods. These will keep the kombucha cans cold when shipped. If you’re shipping kombucha in the winter months, you may not need thermal boxes. If this is the case, check out our Econo-Pods or Premium Pods. Either of these Pods will keep the cans safe when shipped.



In conclusion, kombucha is a fermented tea that is gaining popularity for its potential health benefits. It is a probiotic-rich drink that can help to balance the gut microbiome and promote overall health. Kombucha is also a low-calorie alternative to sugary drinks.  When you ship it, make sure it’s cold enough, and make sure you have protective packaging.
