        <content>Hi guys

Does anyone know where you can buy a cup of kombucha anywhere in the Vancouver area?   I can see plenty of places via google to buy a culture but I can't find anywhere to buy just  a cup ready to drink.  It seems Raw Foods in Kits used to but I believe they've closed down. 

ps - I hope i'm spelling it right / calling it what it's called here.  I'm talking about the sweet tea that you drop a fungi culture into which ferments the tea.

Thanks</content>

      <content>I had a commercially prepared version at the Canadian Coffee and Tea Expo a couple of years back, but I haven't seen it around.  You are spelling it right though!

I'm guessing your best option is buying the culture kit and making it yourself.</content>

      <content>Thanks for the suggestions guys but unfortunately Dharma's doesn't do it now.   The quest for moldy tea continues :)</content>

      <content>Hey there, 
i have been looking for it myself.  I company in CA called Synergy makes it, and it's one of the best I've had so far.  It's typically in the cooler section of the store.  In Vancouver, surprisingly, I have only been able to find short bottles of it at Caper's at 16th and Cambie.  They are on the shelf, not in the cooler section, near the other bottled teas and such.  I had the HImalayan flavour this evening and it was fantastic... a lot of Oolong.  Good luck!
