Adventures in kombucha

The promise of unique ciders lured us to urban farm fermentory, where we sampled a range of fermented liquids, including the one they lovingly refer to as "the booch." My experience with the beverage has been somewhat limited, primarily from bottled health drinks from Whole Foods. Except for the time I got up close and personal with a kombucha mother being stored in a friend's refrigerator, where it sat like a large liver its own juices festering in a Ziplock. The kombucha mother has also proved to be a helpful teaching analogy when you are looking to explain how one thing can be the foundation for many--like with aliens. Our tasting adventure was less than successful, Michael admitted that he needed to wash some of the hippy out of his mouth.
