Kombucha is a fermented tea. The kombucha culture ferments a sweet tea, and in 3 weeks it produces a tea filled with sparkling digestive enzymes and healthy bacteria. And just like that you have your living, incredible kombucha tea. Revered for its detoxifying and cleansing properties, generations have passed down their precious kombucha cultures to their family for daily healing & restorative health benefits. Most notably, raw kombucha has been praised for its ability to aid digestion, cleanse the liver and rejuvenate skin and hair cells.
What is Kombucha Tea?
Since 221 bc, people around the globe have been brewing this living, fermented tonic as a remedy for digestion and immune health.
Brewed in small artisianal batches, Tonica’s traditional recipe ensures the quality of kombucha in every bottle is extremely pure. We ferment our Kombucha starter for 4-6 weeks to ensure optimal enzyme activity and healthy bacteria growth. This means that every bottle of Tonica will vary slightly in flavour & bubble and come to you in its all-natural organic state. Filled with all the benefits associated with a true raw kombucha, Tonica is a true Tonic.

Suggested Use
Because Kombucha is an adaptogen and can restore balance in compromised bodies, it is best to indulge in moderation. Introducing 175ml per serving, at least 2 times a day for the first week of consumption will ensure a balanced integration of all the living enzymes and beneficial acids.
Wonderful as a digestive with any meal, enjoy 20 minutes prior to or after eating for optimal digestive aid.
To boost energy levels throughout the day, enjoy on an empty stomach, and follow with equal amounts of water. Be sure not to drink too close to sleep time as it can be quite stimulating.
Expecting Mothers Take Note!
Although many women find Kombucha to be balancing for the hormonal system, it contains a high amount of lactic acid, and therefore pregnant women should consult their physician before consuming.
