Black tea is derived from tea shrub leaves that undergo oxidation. Kombucha, a fermented tea infusion, originates from a traditional Chinese practice dating back 5000 years, where it was prized for its energizing and detoxifying properties. With the rising popularity of kombucha, research has highlighted various health benefits linked to over 700 phytocompounds in black tea, particularly its antioxidant effects, which are attributed to its rich polyphenol content.
