GT's got a new attitude.
(GT's New and Improved Bottle!)
Kombucha... Next to Kifer, Animal's blood, and Pabst Blue Ribbon, Kombucha is one of the hardest beverages to get your friends to try... Especially if you brew it yourself. Basically, it's infected Sweet Tea... Full of yummy bacteria and yeasts. I like it and so do many other freaks of nature.
Well, GT Dave finally got up off his backside, slipped on the old Birkenstocks and shuffled down to the local graphic designer shop to brighten things up a bit. You see, GT's OLD label was... um... lacking. Although my Palm Pilot's camera isn't doing justice, you can still see a marked improvement in the label. Now it looks updated and more like GT Dave's arch-nemesis' drink, Kombucha Wonder Drink (which I don't support because it is Pasturized... killing all the little buggers swimming around in there... It's like eating deepfried sushi.)
Anyway. If you have an interest in trying Kombucha or brewing it yourself, shoot me a message and I'll hook you up with the info.

Thanks for the heads up on GT. Kombucha certaintly is gaining in popularity as shown by the number of new kombucha bottlers out there. Like you, I believe the all natural home brewing method is the best and most ecominical way to go. Although it is hard to match the exact taste, home brewers can readily tweak their home-brew to a great varaity of taste sensations. Its really simply to do at home and actually anyone can get started with any of the commerical kombucha bottles - that are live or raw ferments like GT, ProNatura or Kombucha 2000. I’ve set up a whole series of How To make Kombucha with Pictures and easy directions at http://www.happyherbalist.com/pictures.htm . There are pictures of what to look out for as well. Like mold! And what goes wrong and how to tell if its safe to drink or not. Like ya said, Next to Kifer, Animal's blood, and Pabst Blue Ribbon, Kombucha is one of the hardest beverages to get your friends to try... but simply and easy to make at home.
