English translation at the bottom.

Il testo di riferimento per tutti gli appassionati del più famoso fungo del tè.

L' autore è riuscito a raccogliere e trasmettere in modo piacevole e facilmente comprensibile un' innumerevole mole di informazioni interessanti: dettagli sulla storia e sugli utilizzi, i consigli di preparazione, ricette alternative e testimonianze sugli effetti benefici.

I riferimenti sono riportati con cura e spaziano su ogni cultura che nel passato ha visto questa speciale bevanda parte integrante della vita quotidiana.

Consiglio davvero la lettura sia ai neofiti, che vogliono cimentarsi nella produzione o cominciarne il consumo, sia ai 'mastri kombucha-ni' del settore. Personalmente ho trovato nel testo dettagli che non conoscevo pur avendo letto innumerevoli risorse e blog su internet.

Ho apprezzato gli innumerevoli aforismi ed i pensieri filosofici dell' autore. Accompagnano la lettura in modo ancora più profondo.


English

The point of reference for Kombucha fans and lover.

The author was able to gather and share with readers tons of information such as: applications history details, hints for production, alternative recipes and He did it easily and in a comprehensible way.

References are from all the different cultures that have in common this special beverage in their daily lives.

Useful read to both beginners and experts. It is also helpful for inquiring minds that does not want to produce the tea by themselves.

I really appreciated quotes and the author's philosophical thoughts that go along with the book.

Talk about some serious passion for kombucha right there! Full of great info, but a bit random and could have done without the Bible verses, but you do you Gunther W. Frank. 5 stars for his enthusiasm/passion/knowledge for and about kombucha! CHEERS :)

Good resource. Clearly written before the popularity of the Internet bc I learned pretty much everything in this book from various blogs.
