Kombucha:
A beverage produced by fermenting sweet tea with a culture of yeast and bacteria. hmmm… why would anyone drink that? It doesn’t sound that yummy does it. Then why all the rage, you ask. Well the benefits of drinking this delicious beverage are pretty impressive. What are the benefits you ask? Let me drop a little booch (that’s what all the cool kids call it) knowledge on ya. The main benefit is it’s great for your gut and your digestive system. It is a natural probiotic. It aids your liver in its main function, detoxifying. It helps your immune system and it gives you energy.
I have been consuming Kombucha regularly for over a year now and I have definitely noticed a difference in my body. Everything seems to run a lot smoother. Well, my family and I were vacationing in Oceanside, CA and I came across this amazing little kombucha brew house, Living Tea Brewing Co. I was super pumped! Here I was on vacation without my daily dose of booch and this gem was right down the street from where I was staying. I actually squealed as we drove past.

The next day I got up bright and early, woke up Maddie (cousin and someone I converted to the booch life) and we walked up to the shop. It was everything I hoped for and more. They had a plethora of kombucha flavors on draft!! Yes, you read that right they had kombucha on tap. I felt like it was Christmas time. I excitedly ordered the Peach Ginger, Maddie ordered the Mango Madness and while they were pouring our yummy booch we looked around the shop. It was full of pretty little trinkets such as, hand crafted jewelry, natural body care and so many teas!
They had starter kits for making your own kombucha which, is something I was and am really interested in learning how to do. I did buy the scoby and will be posting how to brew your own kombucha at some point. Our order was up and let me tell you, the flavors did not disappoint. I was hooked.
We stayed in Oceanside for a week. Maddie and I were at Living Tea Brewing Co. every. single. day. There is nothing like a fresh cup of kombucha or a jug or pretty much any size you want since they offer a variety.
We ended up getting the 32oz jugs and if you bring them back they refill it for you at a discounted price. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about what they are doing; so next time you are in Oceanside please go check them out. You can go to their website: http://www.livingteabrewingco.com and don’t forget to follow them on instagram and Facebook.
Until next time,
Summer
