Hi,
I have been fermenting for a couple of years now and just had a mind blowing revelation, kombucha is not a mushroom, but rather a colony of bacteria and yeasts!
Anyway, I am really confused now. I am extremely familiar with kefir, which consists of bacteria and yeast. Now I realize that kombucha is also bacteria and yeasts, so can anyone explain to me what the differences are between the two? Internet research hasnt really answered the question too thoroughly.
Also, any thoughts on why kombucha has been marketed successfully but water kefir has not?
Thanks!
