Kombucha is a type of sweetened tea that has been fermented using a culture known as a SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast.) According to Wikipedia, the drinking of Kombucha dates back to 250 B.C., when it was found in early China and Japan, later gaining popularity in Russia. I can remember back in the sixties when even in a slightly un-hip place like Salt Lake, many people were making and drinking what was then called "mushroom tea."
