Senior apprentice Devon Hart has made a series of Kombucha Tea Kits for making special Kimbucha teas (you need to have your own "Mother", see sources in Detailed Description). Each kit will include enough material to make one gallon of her fantastic concoction. Included in each kit is a packet of the organic shredded polypore mushroom, berry or herb, plus organic green tea and organic raw sugar. Easy to follow instructions for brewing up your own batch are also included.
This Kombucha Tea Kit includes the following:
Birch Polypore grows on dead birch, It is kidney-shaped in outline; broadly convex to more or less flat; growing shelf-like or hoof-like. Its surface is dry, with a smooth or somewhat roughened "skin" that often peels away, turning whitish to pale brownish in age. The outer margin is rolled over smoothly to form a rim around the pore surface.
Birch Polypore was used traditionally in Bohemia for the treatment of rectal cancer and stomach diseases. It is also known as fungus of the ‘iceman’ from the Copper Age found in 1991, who carried P. betulinus fruiting bodies attached to his clothing on his journey in the Alps. Mycologists believe that the Birch Polypore he carried was used for medicinal purposes.
Red Belted Polypore is an attractive, varnished, orangish-red to brownish shelf fungus found on dead conifers. The perennial fruiting body is initially knob-like, forming a hard, rounded or hoof-shaped bracket. The thick; upper surface is at first yellowish-brown to orange-brown and varnished. The margin is banded reddish to orange-brown, with a blunt, white edge. The lower surface is minutely pored, white, and bruises pale yellow to buff. The flesh is woody, yellowish-brown over multiple layers of tubes; the pores of fresh specimens frequently exuding droplets of clear liquid.
Red Belted Polypore has been most commonly used in conjunction with other treatments during cancer. Taken on a daily basis, the fungus has been used in naturopathic treatments to help prevent cancer cells from spreading through the blood system.
Artist's Conk has been used medicinally as an antibacterial, tumor-inhibiting agent, anti-inflammatory, lung and respiratory aid, plus as a blood pressure reducing and cardiovascular strengthening agent.
Once you begin working with a Kombucha and brewing up tea, you will likely want to try her many different blends and combinations.
