So, I think there might be some misinformation in the Kombucha video. Both types of tea developed independently -- the kelp tea from Japan and the fermented vinegar drink from China aren't related. The same names are just coincidence, not a mis-translation. Shame, because overall there's some great info in the video, but framing it as someone getting a translation wrong and smugly teaching about the REAL version is just way off base.

Is kombucha an english word?

[@KevintheRhea]

@@eternalsnow101 allegedly, it was introduced to China by a Korean doctor named Komu-ha, and it is purely coincidence that it sounds like a different Japanese beverage.

[@gennaterra]

Totally agree... and worst is calling it "American Kombucha" when the word is, and has been adopted ALL OVER THE WORLD. Nothing to do with KELP TEA.

[@jjsoledad8553]

The word TEA is not an abbreviation of Transporte de Ervas Aromaticas (Transport of Aromatic Herbs) it came from a transliteration of a Chinese character (茶 - tea, tea plant).

[@M40M40Y1NP31]

nope, cha is 茶 from chinese mandarin language(also in japanese and korean), tea is come from teh, also from a language of southern part china called minnan.

[@islandsunset]

There is a saying that wherever tea was first transported by land it was called Cha or che or it's varieties. By land I mean silk road. It's called Tea and it's varieties wherever it was taken by Sea routes by the Dutch and other European travellers. For example- In India Tea reached by land routes so in most of the Indian languages if not all they are called Cha/Chaya/Chai etc. In neighboring Sri Lanka it's called tē, a variant of Tea because it was brought by Europeans via sea routes.

Kombucha and konbu cha/kobu cha are two different things. Names can sound similar without referring to the same thing.

Which one is American, and which is the Japanese?

[@mozorellastick2583]

K1naku5ana3R1ka apparently real kombucha comes from indian monks fermenting tea, and then a couple bringing in to America in the 80s or 90s i think. Konbu cha is the japanese konbu broth u saw, i was confused because kombu isnt how u spell konbu lmao

[@theoneandonlyAeth]

@@KnakuanaRka Konbu Cha is the Japanese one, it's literally kelp tea in Japanese (konbu + ocha/cha). Cha, chai, çay, tea, thee, thé etc. can all be traced back to a few pronunciations of the Chinese word.

this is like how ppl think "senpai" is sempai. im actually a little skeptical with what they think actual kombucha is

I love how culturally, putting your milk in AFTER is aggressively enforced, but according to science (and provided you are a masterful brewer of your tea, so there's no need to cautiously judge the tea's strength by it's color in the cup), you actually put your milk in FIRST. And you will have to pry that habit from my cold, dead fingers and the teacup they're grasping.

[@judylloyd7901]

I heard that the English habit of putting milk in first came from the fine porcelain cups cracking when boiling water was poured into them, so milk was poured first to prevent that happening. Whether that is true or not, there is no scientific consensus for pouring either the milk, or the tea first.

[@Anna1AK]

In Russia, where “kombucha” is normal part of household, it’s always been called “tea mushroom drink” because it’s a culture that feeds on tea, but has never been considered a tea, because it’s not.

Practically everyone either calls it something starting with Ch or something starting with T.
