Where to purchase Kombucha (Kelp)?

[daidokorocha]

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody knew where I could purchase some kombucha. When I say "kombucha" I do not mean that fermented black tea stuff but rather the kelp tea. Are there any vendors that sell it reliably?

Thank you for your time.

I haven't tried it but I've noticed Maiko tea always has it on their page when I buy sencha, gyokuro or matcha

Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. I am happy to see they have the ume version as well for sale. There a few very interesting products in all on that site! A very nice resource. Thank you very much. You're been incredibly helpful.

You're welcome

Please post and let everyone know what you think of them when they arrive I've been curious about what these "teas" are like, but haven't tried them because 120/140g is a lot if I didn't like it much.

i was served some kind of kelp-ume mixed tea when i visited a guqin string maker in kyoto during new year..

the taste.....

they call it obukucha or something along that line, its supposed to be some "lucky" tea that bestows upon people good health and originated from a legend/historical event that the tea was integral in preventing/treating a pandemic
