Probiotics are "good bacteria" which are considered helpful for your body. Kombucha tea is made by mixing bacteria, yeast and sugar in black tea or green tea, after which it is left to ferment for a week or more. During this process, bacteria and yeast form a mushroom-like layer on the tea. This is why kombucha is also known as "mushroom tea".
Acetic acid (the acid that gives vinegar its sour taste and pungent smell) and many other acidic compounds are formed during fermentation. Large amounts of bacteria also grow in this mixture. Although there is no evidence yet that kombucha provides probiotics, it contains several varieties of lactic-acid bacteria, which can act like probiotics. Probiotics provide healthy bacteria to the stomach, which benefits health in many ways, including digestion, inflammation and even weight loss.
