Wikipedia describes it in a matter that makes it sound like a fermented tea - turned vinegar
 
also i had some "organic" tea from the local hippy coop. it had fermented in the bottle... not so good.
 
"The term kombucha refers to two different things: the fizzy, vinegary beverage, and the culture that produces it. Many people are unaware that kombucha is an actual living, breathing thing, or rather a colony of them. How does it work? Once you acquire a living starter culture, usually from a friend or place of business, you periodically "feed" your kombucha a combination of sugar and black tea. The kombucha then works to ferment this mixture, turning it into a brown probiotic liquid that is supposed to have healing properties."
 
A friend of mine kept a batch going all the time it looked terible and tasted almost as bad as it looked. Yes it is a living thing. He was a natural herb healer and some of his concotions actually worked and some were questionable.
