In the meantime Germany became a country of water bottles. They swing in handbags, are place on the desk in office, school and university. Through the influence of media everybody now pays strictly attention to drinks enough water to remain fit and healthy. But ordinary water had become monotonous for many people. This trend is also reflected in extending the range of mineral water that is enriched with artificial flavours. These excellent scents taste as if thousands of oranges or other exotic fruit have been added to the liquid. Instead just some millilitres highly concentrated artificial flavours have been added.
Partial it is actually healthier and cheaper to enjoy a single orange and one litre water. What I would like to illustrate is that good taste in connection with a healthy beverage doesn't need artificial flavours. Or to put it another way - we shouldn't contaminate organism unnatural chemical substances and synthetic ingredients.
That notion should not be a dogma, but we prefer a sustainable, healthy and environment friendly diet and drinks naturally belong to.
Basically water
It is undeniable that an essential part of the delicious water kefir drink that is made with the help of japanese water crystals, sugar, lemon slices and dried fruits consists of water. For this reason water is also a key issue. In consideration of the gigantic range of different mineral water the choice really is not always easy.
Countless provider from different countries
At this point a new questions also intrude upon us, above all whether we have no good water? And is it really necessary to transport water throughout Europe - over thousands of kilometres all across the continent. However, there is a very easy solution. Drinking water taken directly from the tap in your kitchen. Yes, precisely because thanks to numerous studies now one thing is certain: Tab water is by far the best controlled food in Germany and can easily compete with commercial water from the supermarket. Particularly with regard to significant factors like mineral content and taste is our domestic drinking water at least as well as any table water. Now I want to point out the numerous advantages of enjoying drinking water from your tab:
-
Good for the environment - it is not necessary to transport water throughout Europe - over thousands of kilometres all across the continent. That saves money, resources and reduces CO² emissions.
-
Good for your budget - drinking water from your tab costs only a fraction of table water.
-
Good for your back - no more tiresome dragging of bottle crates
-
Good for your time management - Yes, that is an important factor as well. Going to the supermarket - load, unload... That all takes time you actually need for the truly important things in life.
If you want to be informed about the quality of your tab water simply ask your local water purveyors' or municipal government websites.
Exotic taste naturally formed
You prefer a natural drink from which you know the ingredients. You want to decide the taste of your refreshing drink and want to control the whole production process. And you want something exotic, the special, more than the common dink at an unbeatably low price? Welcome to the world of water kefir grains, tibicos, japanese water crystals, California bees, Australian Bees, African Bees, Ginger Bees, Ginger Beer Plant, Sea Rice, or Aqua Gems, in Italy - Kefir di Frutta; in France - Graines Vivantes; In Mexico - tibicos (or tibi / Tepache) and so on, because that is the name of the microorganisms that helps you to get what you want.

People have always used the forces of nature. Unfortunately, knowledge and experience gathered around the world over the centuries was pushed more and more into the background. But what causes this development? The reason, very simply and simultaneously the answer to so many questions on earth: money, money, money. Today the question itself concerning product is not anymore: is it good for people?
It is much more a case of financial factors. For example: What about the costs? Is it suitable for the whole manufacturing process? How quick is it available? How much is available? How could we optimize our logistics and reduce the time from order to delivery? and so on....

Fermented products - always been very popular
For a very long time humans enjoy fermented products. And this not only refers to the milk kefir drink made from kefir grains, water kefir made from water kefir grains (aka. Water Kefir grains, tibicos, Japanese water crystals, California bees, Australian Bees, African Bees, Ginger Bees, Ginger Beer Plant, Sea Rice, Aqua Gems, Kefir di Frutta, Graines Vivantes, tibicos, tibi, Tepache... to name but a few) and the kombucha tea made from the kombucha mushroom (aka. Fungus japonicus, Kargasok Tea, Tea Kvas, Manchurian Mushroom, Japanese Mushroom, Tea Fungus, Tschambucco, Mo-Gu, Cembuya orientalis, Volga spring).
At this point it is about ordinary everyday foodstuff like bread, cheese, sauerkraut, beer and much more. All these foodstuff is produced using microorganisms, provided it's made the old fashioned way. That means microbes have sufficient time to make its job. Within the traditional manufacturing of sauerkraut the lactic acid bacteria has up to 6 weeks to do the fermentation job. After this period the delicious homemade sauerkraut is ready for consumption. In commercial production the small helpers have just 3 week. At the end of the whole process the microorganism were blanched by heating to approximately 80 degrees Celsius. In other words, they get killed to stop the fermentation process.
But it is exactly this organisms that should live because they are said to supports a proper digestion which makes these foodstuff incredibly valuable. This approach could be transferred to a lot of other foodstuff, always with the same result. Within the industrial mass production the valuable bacteria haven't sufficient time and get killed after half performed work. But this situation need not always be like that. Now, you needn't to do sauerkraut, cheese and so on by your own. That would be very time consuming and you need a lot of stuff. A very time-saving and cheap alternative is to make water kefir with the help of our japanese kefir crystals.
Even though these culture seem to be very different, they are similar in one respect. They are all a colony of extremely useful different microorganisms: bacteria and yeast. Thanks to this helpful microorganisms it is possible to make delicious healthy water kefir from ordinary water, dried fruits and sugar. In this context the kefir mushroom ( this is how water kefir is also known) is like a food improver.
You can compare it with the production of wine champagne. In this case microbes also transform ordinary grape juice into a sparkling, tasty and very popular drink. By the way even water kefir tingles on the tongue in a unique way. Why is that? Let's go into detail.
