High Country Kombucha (HCK) is a pure authentic kombucha tea with billions of probiotic bacteria. ○ Kombucha is a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast that feeds on caffeine and sugar. ○ Kombucha cultures, tea and sugar are required ingredients in order to create kombucha tea. ○ HCK harvests the kombucha at the ideal time when the probiotic and beneficial acids are at their peak levels. ○ Kombucha is a fermented tea that is naturally effervescent. ○ The first recorded use of Kombucha was at high altitudes in the Himalayas around 220 B.C. What is the difference between HCK and other kombucha teas on the market? ○ HCK brews tea using authentic and traditional techniques. ○ HCK believes that the cultures flourish best at higher altitudes that is why our factory is located high in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. ○ HCK utilizes low glycemic herbs and roots formulated for their health benefits. ○ Initially, Kombucha feeds on sugar, caffeine and tannins of the tea. After a period of fermentation, the tea is bottled and refrigerated. ○ Other brands of kombucha beverages add fruit juices prior to bottling which increases the alcohol content. ○ HCK takes great care in the health and integrity of the bacteria and enzymes within its tea. That is why we use amber bottles to protect the live organisms from harmful UV rays. ○ HCK produces high quality raw, kombucha prized for its living organisms. ○ HCK is USDA Organic, Fair Trade Certified, Raw, Vegan, & Gluten-free.
