Living Tea: Healthy recipes for naturally probiotic kombucha

What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL book! I've read it cover to cover and can't wait to try some of the recipes. It's truly brilliant. I'm not just saying this but out of all the fermenting books I've got (a lot), this one makes me want to have a go at re-creating the recipes more than any other... simple to follow methods that makes booch making totally achievable for anyone.

This book is great. Really good quality pages and I'm so looking forward to trying out the flavours. I don't have a cold press but will consider getting one so I can experiment with flavouring my Kombucha brews.

As a complete beginner I found it interesting & informative, beautifully produced. I have tasted 3 flavours of this brand, they are fresh & delicious,so I can't think I'll ever make it as good.

An absolutely beautiful book full of easy to follow recipes and all you need to know about kombucha! Bought one as a gift and one for our kitchen collection! Perfect!

Not enough information on problem solving. Very basic.

Very interesting hardback book if you are brewing Kombucha and want to know how to flavour it - well worth buying

Good illustrated book, easy to follow so excellent for beginners.

Great book, simple, clear and comprehensive.

I had the pleasure of tasting kombucha from Lois and the Living Teas when I was visiting London recently, and was delighted to find her book on the practice of home brewing. While I've enjoyed the taste and benefits of kombucha for some time (coming from New England I am spoiled!) I have not been so brave to bring this venture into my home kitchen- until now! This book, aside from being aesthetically gorgeous, is readable, accessible, and has been just what I need to get started. Louise describes the process of brewing kombucha clearly, provides tips for supplies and ingredients (even in the US!) and recommends a wide variety of recipes, including her delicious Rose Petal Tea, which offers a pure and delicate alternative to the earthy, dark kombucha I'm used to in the States. I appreciate the author's dedication to local foods and her passion for bringing kombucha to every household. (Surprised by previous reviewer's comment to seek online information, as I find this book to be more comprehensive and, as advertised, appropriate for beginners. Plus, you cannot beat having a beautiful hardcover in hand!) I recommend this book to any beginner brewer, kombucha enthusiast, or cookbook collector.

Unfortunate waste of money. The book is limited on information, ie its rehashed and not original. Out of 95 pages of book 58 have text. If you join a group online or do a basic search you will have a more complete compendium than this. Ive been brewing kombcuha for over a decade and anytime a book comes out I get excited but this is a let down. I plan on getting a refund.
