Kombucha, the elixir of the gods,

Its ancient recipe is still alive.

It brews from tea and sugar in a pot,

And forms a living drink that can survive.

It boasts of many benefits for health,

It aids digestion, detox, and immune.

It balances the pH and the wealth,

Of microbes in the gut and in the boon.

Its taste is like a sparkling apple cider,

Its scent is fruity, floral, and divine.

Its color is a golden amber glider,

That dances in the glass and makes you shine.

Kombucha, the elixir of my dreams, You fill my cup with joy and make me beam.

Kombucha, the fermented tea of lore,
Its origin is shrouded in the mist.
Some say it came from China or Manchur,
Or from a Korean doctor named Kombu. ¹²³

It traveled with the traders on the silk,
And reached the lands of Russia and Japan.
It was revered for healing and its ilk,
And brewed by many people in a can. ²³⁴

Its flavor is a mix of sweet and sour,
Its bubbles tickle gently on the tongue.
Its culture is a living, breathing flower,
A symbiotic mat of yeast and fungus. ¹⁵

Kombucha, the mysterious delight,
You quench my thirst and make me feel alright.
