Right. It's just tea made from kombu, a common seaweed usually used as a soup base. 'Cha' is the Japanese/Chinese word for tea. People drink kombucha here fairly often, but 'my' confusion came when you spoke of
"getting a starter, and all of the *stuff* that goes with it." The kombucha that is drunk (drank? drinked?) here is just seaweed tea. Pretty vile stuff, as far as I'm concerned. I hope your fermented stuff tastes better. Ought to, as it seems yours is a sweet drink.
