STEPHEN LEE has cofounded and sold two of the country's best-known tea brands, Tazo Tea and Stash Tea. After discovering kombucha on one of his tea importing trips to Russia, Stephen launched Kombucha Wonder Drink in 2001. It can now be found in natural foods stores, grocery stores, pubs, spas, hotels, college campuses, and coffee and tea houses across the country. He also recently launched Tea Tibet, a not-for-profit tea company benefiting Tibet.
Whether you're first hearing about kombucha right this second or you've been filling your fridge with it for years, spend ten minutes with Kombucha Revolution and you'll be leaping from your seat to try brewing it. Even as a longtime kombucha brewer myself, I found Stephen Lee's detailed recipes for making and using kombucha to be eye-opening. He's doing things with kombucha that I never imagined, and I can't wait to try every single one of them. --Emma Christensen, recipe editor at The Kitchn and author of True Brews
