Zestea康普茶釀造過程大揭秘 | How is Zestea Kombucha Brewed
滿滿益生菌的神奇康普茶（Kombucha）是怎麼被釀造出來的呢？在歐美人的餐桌上，少不了提升風味的「乳酪、優格」，在日本人的佐餐食物中的靈魂上要角，非「味噌、納豆」莫屬，你早餐喝粥必配的「泡菜、豆腐乳」，這一些食物都是屬於「發酵食物」家族，而康普茶也是發酵飲品的一種。
Fermented foods have been part of human diets for centuries. You will find cheese and yogurt on the tables of Europeans and Americans. Similarly, miso and Kimchi play important roles in the Asian cuisines. These foods belong to the "fermented food" family, and kombucha is also a type of fermented drink.
Zestea 康普茶製作過程
康普茶是將共生菌（SCOBY, symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast）和加了糖的茶混合， SCOBY 裡頭的醋酸菌和酵母菌，會和甜茶作用，使發酵後的茶帶有酸味與微氣泡感，生成對人體有益的飲品。
Kombucha is a fermented beverage made with brewed tea, sugar and SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast) packed with probiotics, vitamins, and enzymes. Kombucha delivers both the benefit of a tea and a probiotic.
原料 Ingredients
Zestea 主張使用在地原料生產，因此在使用台灣的在地茶葉，加上巴西的原蔗糖，煮成甜茶加入菌種一起發酵 20-30 天。在發酵期間，酵母菌和醋酸菌會吃掉 90% 以上的糖，將甜茶轉換成酸酸甜甜、微氣泡和益生菌的康普茶。
Zestea sources locally, so we use qimen black tea from huangshan, raw cane sugar from Brazil, brewed and fermented for 20-30 days. Over 90% of the sugar will be consumed by yeast and bacteria during fermentation, turning sweet tea into sweet and sour, bubbling and probiotic kombucha.
風味 Flavor
特別的是，Zestea 希望把茶香和草本植物風味分享給大家，因此透過長時間的發酵，能將茶和草本植物的原本的風味轉換、帶出意想不到的新滋味。茶葉本身自帶的香甜回甘在嘴裡回蕩，整體的風味更上一層樓！
We at Zestea aim to create a taste that is authentic, natural, and refreshing using our special fermentation method that can take tea and herbal flavors to new, unexpected flavors.
全程 0-4°C直送保護活菌
Zestea 在擁有合格證照的工廠生產，其中都經過嚴格的檢測。經歷長達 25-30 天發酵後，一瓶充滿活蹦亂跳的益生菌、有機酸、抗氧化的康普茶就此誕生！由於 Zestea 是 100% 精釀而成的康普茶，所以裝瓶後我們使用低溫冷藏車，全程 0-4°C 直送到冷藏庫。
Zestea is produced in a facility with both HACCP and ISO22000 certifications. Zestea Kombucha is bursting with probiotics, organic acids, and antioxidants after fermentation for 25-30 days! Zestea is 100% handcrafted Kombucha, which we transport in a low-temperature refrigerated truck and then store in cold storage at 0-4°C.
你可能會問：「康普茶沒有高溫殺菌嗎？」"Is Zestea kombucha Pasteurized?"
沒錯的，因為高溫殺菌會讓益生菌活菌減少，因此我們堅持不使用高溫殺菌。Zestea 以嚴謹程序發酵，在裝瓶、運送過程也使用最高規格方式進行。每一瓶 Zestea 康普茶，全程使用攝氏 0-4 °C 冷藏配送到你手中，也是為了確保瓶子里珍貴的益生菌活菌可以保持在有生命的狀態，讓大家喝的安心自在。
Our Kombucha is not pasteurized because it reduces the number of live probiotics. Zestea Kombucha is fermented according to strict guidelines and the highest standards. We deliver every bottle of Zestea Kombucha to you in a cold chain delivery under 4°C, preserving live probiotics for you!
我們以精釀的方式製作康普茶，讓每批產品發酵長達 25-30 天，每日定期檢查康普茶發酵的狀況，用愛心與耐心，好好等待時間帶來的禮物。Zestea 不同的口味來自於我們所使用的天然草本植物，例如檸檬草、洛神花等，打造天然、真實、清爽的風味。看吧，Zestea 康普茶的成分就是如此單純、健康！茶、水、蔗糖、SCOBY、草本植物調味就完成！
