It is an interesting paradox: For a processed food to have shelf life, it must have no life. And so most of the packaged foods we eat are, essentially, dead.

Upon opening the bottle, I heard the gentle hissing of bubbles rushing to find their way free…. “Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!” The taste I found to be crisp, sweet, tart and incredibly refreshing.
The daughter has since moved on in life, but the refrigerator still contains her kombucha. She was right. I do love it. Still, I wonder…
