SPECIAL REPORT: 5 Reasons To Make Kombucha At Home Instead Of Buying At The Store 8 years ago I bought my first bottle of kombucha at the store. It was love at first sip and soon after I threw out an entire drawer full of acid reflux medication and have been off all prescription drugs ever since... so yeah, the stuff is rocks. Back in 2006, GetKombucha.com was one of the few sites reporting on the health benefits of drinking kombucha tea. Fast fwd to today and it seems like every health and wellness blog has at least a few articles highlighting the top kombucha benefits and reasons why everyone should be drinking kombucha. Yet, as I look around the interweb I still see a piece of the kombucha puzzle missing, and that missing piece is reporting on the benefits of MAKING kombucha tea at home over buying it at the store. After selling thousands of kombucha home brewing supplies from starter cultures to all in one brew kits, I have gathered the 5 common reasons why people love making kombucha tea at home instead of buying commercial bottles at the store. My hope is that this report will encourage and inspire you to take action and become an active participant in your health and lifestyle. Happy Brewin’, Dave :) Founder GetKombucha.com PAGE 2 Kombucha Dave | www.getkombucha.com

Most people think that Kombucha Tea must have caffeine in it, and while it is true that most (if not all) of the commercially produced kombucha does have caffeine in it, there is a way to make kombucha without any caffeine whatsoever! You see kombucha is usually made from 4 simple sources: (kombucha culture w/ living starter liquid + water source + tea source + sugar source) * [time to ferment] = Kombucha Tea! If you exchange the tea source to a caffeine free tea substitute, like the South African red bush plant rooibos, blamo! Caffeine Free Kombucha. Alternatively, if you wish to increase the caffeine amount you can do that too, with tea source substitutes like Yerba Mate. Let’s be clear. Kombucha already has a low sugar content when compared to a soft drink or juice. Let’s also be clear. You NEED a sugar source to make kombucha, as it is what feeds the kombucha culture w/ living starter liquid, so substitutes like xylitol, stevia, sweet n’ how low can you go, simply will not cut it. Keep in mind that the majority of that sugar converts into all of the healthy organic acids that contributes to kombucha tea’s touted health benefits. But by fermenting your kombucha at home, you will have more control on how much (or how little) you want that sugar level reduced to. How, you ask? Easy peasy. Remember our Kombucha formula? PAGE 3 Kombucha Dave | www.getkombucha.com
















(kombucha culture w/ living starter liquid + water source + tea source + sugar source) * [time to ferment] = Kombucha Tea! To reduce the sugar levels more than what you might find in the store, you simply increase your fermentation time a few extra days. (kombucha culture w/ living starter liquid + water source + tea source + sugar source) * [time to ferment + 5 more days] = Kombucha Tea with less sugar!

#3 Making Kombucha Tea At Home Gets You Customized Flavors I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things about kombucha is the variety of flavors that are now offered at the store. It seems like there are over one hundred different types of flavors and enhancements to choose from. But this can never compare to the Limitless Possibilities you have available to you when you make kombucha at home. Any fruit, herb, juice, superfood combo you can think of can easily be made into a homemade flavored kombucha. There’s a few ways to do this. One way is by playing around with the type of tea and sugar when you go to brew. However, a much easier way is to simply add whatever flavored goodies you want when you go to bottle your kombucha tea and then let it continue to ferment a little longer in the bottle with the new additions. Keeping with our formula: (kombucha culture w/ living starter liquid + water source + tea source + sugar source) * [time to ferment] = Kombucha Tea! For flavored kombucha tea the formula would look like this: PAGE 4 Kombucha Dave | www.getkombucha.com
















(Kombucha Tea! + flavor source(s)) * [time to ferment in bottle] = Flavored Kombucha Tea! some examples of flavor source(s): ☑ fresh squeezed lemon + lime ☑ muddled peaches + mint ☑ grape juice + chia seeds ☑ craisins + goji berries ☑ pineapple juice +cayenne pepper I literally, walked into my kitchen to come up with this list. The possibilities are only limited to your imagination!

#2 Making Kombucha Tea At Home Saves You Time I know this is hard to believe. I mean, how can making anything save you time, right? Saving time by making kombucha tea at home can be calculated by 2 factors. Time Saving Factor #1: Time it takes you to buy kombucha at the store. This involves driving to the store, finding parking, going to the kombucha section, deciding which of the 20 brands to get, waiting in line to pay, walking back to your car and driving home. Granted there are definitely ways to save time with buying your kombucha at the store (Amazon Prime anyone?), and the first time you read this you might shrug off that going grocery shopping is just a fact of life and you are doing it anyway so it’s not any extra time. PAGE 5 Kombucha Dave | www.getkombucha.com
















But if you are like me, you and I both know, there have been times where your sole purpose of driving to that grocery store was because you ran out of that sweet, sweet kombucha nectar... also if you are like me, you then buy some other “items” to justify the trip and not seem like a crazy kombuchaholic. :) Time Saving Factor #2: Time it takes to make kombucha tea at home. This involves boiling your water, tea, and sugar sources to make your nutrient solution. Letting the nutrient solution cool down to room temp and then placing it along with your kombucha culture w/ starter liquid in a brewing container (glass, lead free porcelain, etc) and covering with a breathable material (paper towel, handkerchief, etc). Most of the time spent is waiting for the water to boil. While you wait you can, prepare a healthy salad, focus on some easy breathing techniques, or call that high school friend you have been thinking about for awhile but just keep trying to find the time to connect. The other bit of time is spent on taste testing your kombucha tea to see when it is ready, bottling your kombucha tea for flavoring (see reason #3 in this report!), and of course repeating the process to do it all over again. Now normally, this process can be quite time consuming. In fact, time efficiency and ease of use are the top reasons why 7 years ago we created the first GetKombucha.com Continuous Kombucha Brewin Kit. Today it is the most popular kombucha home brewing solution for making kombucha tea at home a breeze. As you can see, when you take into account these factors our kombucha time formula looks like this: PAGE 6 Kombucha Dave | www.getkombucha.com
















Time it takes to buy kombucha > (Time it takes to make kombucha Time saved using a GetKombucha.com Continuous Kombucha Brewing Kit)Making Kombucha Tea At Home Empowers You To Become A Better You Anyone, and I mean anyone, who has ever made anything before knows what I am talking about. That feeling of accomplishment that only comes when you are actively involved in the process. It’s a fact, if you watered your own vegetable garden, you would tend to eat more vegetables. It is amazing what happens when your mind thinks you can not do something, and then, despite what you thought, you successfully do it. Something has to give. Either you have to stop being good at it.. OR your belief system has to change. I chose the latter. In fact, making my own kombucha tea at home 8 years ago, empowered me so much that it actually led me to start a company solely dedicated in helping others do the same. What’s really neat is that this new sense of active participation does not stop with you. Think about the authenticity in everyday life. The handwritten birthday card you received from a loved one, the stick figure portrait your son or daughter picasso’d for you that’s proudly displayed on the fridge, or the friend coming over to help you put your ikea bed together (or even more challenging, take it apart). How much more inviting will your home be, when guests are greeted with “Can I get you a glass of homemade kombucha?”.mbucha Dave | www.getkombucha.com
















PAGE 8 Kombucha Dave | www.getkombucha.com Now imagine for a second, bringing over your homemade kombucha tea in a decorative wine bottle to your next dinner party. I have done this many times, and it will be the topic of conversation!

Conclusion: In this quick report, I showed you the top 5 reasons to make kombucha at home instead of buying it at the store. I should point out, that I am not an absolutist and even I, the owner of a company whose mission is to help people make kombucha kombucha at home, still purchase a bottle at the grocery store now and then. However, when it comes to customizing your caffeine and sugar levels, producing an infinite amount of flavors, saving time and creating a sense of fulfillment and joy for you and your family and friends, nothing beats joining the ranks of homebrewers around the world in making homemade kombucha tea. All it takes is a decision to think a little different, have a little fun, and a make a little (or a lot of) kombucha tea at home. Click here to get started!
