egcg in gt's kombucha tea?

14.January, 2009

gt's kombucha tea is made with black tea, so how can they claim there are 100 mg of egcg per bottle?

i thought only green tea had egcg

Black Tea has bad chemicals in it like coffee. I guess I cant give you answer but I would have to say that it doesnt make sence.

I'm brewing it with green tea and sugar as instructed, using the live cultures from a drink I bought as "starters."

Will this work? Any tips?

I don't know squat about kombucha, but the thread below is a how-to and I think they discuss starting from bottled kombucha. There are a lot of other kombucha threads on those forums as well, so if you do a search for it, you'll come up with more info.

I got this green kombucha,from the health food store thinking it was some sort of green tea, boy was I wrong it tasted like vinegar. But I gaged it down. I thought I was just imagining it, but I'm positive that I was high on it. It just makes me feel so good :-)
It is called "green tea" kombucha because the fermentation was started in green tea. All kombucha is vinegary and all has a tiny bit of alcohol (less than 0.5%). If you are a tea-totaler and drank a large amount you might have gotten a slight buzz. If you're that sensitive to alcohol you will get the same effect from an over-ripe banana.

Kombucha is good for your digestion because it is a fermented food. It also alkalanizes your blood, which might contribute to increased energy. Many larger health food store sell it in flavors that are a bit more palatable. Read about it here:http://www.gtskombucha.com/

Kombucha Tea?

19.September, 2008

Every time I make Kombucha Tea I use the same recipe, black tea as a base, brown sugar, and of coarse the mushroom.
Are there any other variations of the tea? Could I use green tea as the base? and if so would the benifits from the tea still be there?

I've never made Kombucha myself, but I work in a cafe where it is served. Our basic Kombucha is made from oolong tea, which is what you're probably using, but we also have a green tea variation. Most of the goodness from Kombucha tea comes from the cultures of microorganisms which degrade it anyway and not from the actual tea itself.

Bottom line: drink Kombucha for the digestive benefits it brings, but if you want the antioxidants and EGCG, stick with straight-up green tea. Both are yummy anyway.
