Kombucha is a fermented beverage made from sweetened tea. Similar to making sourdough using a sourdough starter, kombucha is created through a process involving the use of a SCOBY.

The SCOBY contains live cultures of bacteria and yeast, which are believed to have probiotic properties that may contribute to gut health.

The word SCOBY is formed by the abbreviation Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast. The SCOBY metabolizes the sugar in the tea, producing various beneficial organic acids, enzymes, and probiotic bacteria. This process is also known as fermentation.

The SCOBY is also referred to as the "kombucha mother".

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeast that are good-for-your-gut. Probiotics help balance your gut by selectively increasing, decreasing or maintaining the level of "good" bacteria in your body, based on each individual's needs. Probiotics are found in abundance in kombucha.
