@@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.
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.

Kombucha (the one you buy at the store) is supposed to be a fermented drink made from black or green tea. But here we see japanese kombu cha (kombu tea), which is simply tea made from seaweed leaves. Two completely different drinks.
Yes, this is revisionist history (fake news). Kombucha originated in China, and has nothing to do with the similarly named Kombu Kelp of Japan, due to linguistic considerations. Poor show!
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.
You talk about tea and there are no stories from India? India is the second largest producer and consumer of tea in the world. Sure that counts for something
not really. there isnt much to talk about other than ‘they make some tea and stuff’. Plus, there are over a billion indians so its not anything to compare to the britishs tea culture of everyone having like 2 cups every day
@@21Shells clearly you don't know how Indians were exploited by the same British on tea plantations but somehow, the resilient people of the subcontinent have made tea their own! That is an AMAZING historic feat in itself and only touches the tip of the iceberg that Indian tea culture 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.
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.
Tea, coffee and hot chocolate are my most daily breakfast and supper drink. Then, It's very incredible when one of great big story videos describes and tells about these topics.

Kombucha as we know it is not related to konbu (or the Japanese konbucha made from konbu). The fermented kombucha is generally believed to have originated in northeastern Asia (the Manchuria region). It's two different drinks that just happen to have the same name.

Sahil Sahadevan i believe it all started from China. Both Japan and India traded with China before, so both nations must have adopted the Chinese term for tea.
basically, if the place traded with china thru land or northern china, then they call it "cha". if the place traded with china thru the ocean, they call it "tea" because the teochew/hokkien dialects call it tea.
@@rickr9435 Interesting . I always wondered why the British called it tea instead of Cha. Now I know . Thank you. Now I wonder which other non-english speaking regions calls it Tea.
I met a british guy asking a Japanese guy “do you guys have tea in Asia” And then he instantly noticed and said “ oh buy you guys have green tea”.... No, Edward. Tea, in every color, is from Asia. Red(black in English), Green, Black(pu-er) etc... are categorizations used in Ancient China.

this is like how ppl think "senpai" is sempai. im actually a little skeptical with what they think actual kombucha is
As far as most sources state though, the word "Kombucha" is a misapplication of "Konbu Cha"
Japanese Kombu cha and Russian Kombucha (what we have in the west) are totally unrelated teas
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.
