Product Description
You will receive one healthy Kombucha SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) approximately 2 1/2 - 3 inches in diameter and about 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick. The SCOBY will be packed in approximately 1/4 cup of starter liquid (extra strong Kombucha tea). You may see "chunks" of yeast and bacteria starting to grow when it arrives. This will be enough to ferment about two quarts of sweet tea. A new baby SCOBY grows with each new batch of tea - so you can conceivably increase your production with each batch. You will also receive instructions on how to set up and maintain your Kombucha brew. PLEASE NOTE: The size, texture and color of each SCOBY will vary.

My first batch was complete yesterday and wow I love my own brew, the scoby was great and I had no issues with my first batch. I am super stoked and have started two more batches since my scoby has duplicated and one batch is not enough for an entire week so I made two batches this time. The live culture was great and comes with the tea needed to start, I was unsure of my first batch because I read so many things on how to make it and what to watch out for so I did add about a 1/4 cup of white distilled vinegar as well. I made mine with 1 gallon of distilled water boiled and after boiled I added 12 organic black tea bags, and let steep for 10 minutes as suggested. Once steeped I added 1 1/4 cup organic cane sugar and let cool overnight. I added 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar and the scoby with the kombucha sent with the scoby. covered with a a cloth napkin and put in my hutch, I never disturbed the brew during the week I would look in at it, but never moved it. Seven days later I had a wonderful first brew. I did take part of that brew and start a second ferment some with strawberries and some with blueberries, and I can not wait to try them. The plain Kombucha was awesome itself, so I am excited for the fruity version. Cheers to your first brew. I definitely recommend this scoby source.
The photo I submitted was after the batch was done fermenting for seven days, I forgot to get a pic before I took the scoby off the top of the jug and started pourong.

they are going for now. I had to cut the giant scoby into 4 pieces to start new tea batches and it was a surprise to me that it was not so easy to cut, I thought it would be a gelatinous goo but it was a thick, rubbery membrane that took work to cut through with the scissors. I am very pleased with the new scoby and the tea that both came from that skinny little mother. Good things DO come in small packages!

Cons: needs occasional cleaning, proper care (sugar for it to feed on & good tea), and a big jar for fermentation
A few months ago, after hearing all of the health-food craze about Kombucha and purchasing a few ready-made drinks from the store, I decided to buy my own culture so that I can ferment my own probiotic drinks for less than in store and with the ingredients that I wanted. Upon arrival, the culture worked as promised.
To get the process started, traditionally you should heat water until it's warm and dissolve a few cups of sugar in it, as well as a few tea packages for flavor. This will be the food for the Kombucha. Submerge the mushroom in this water and leave for a few days. After this, take any bottles, or mason jars that you may have and bottle the drink. It can last around 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator before you enjoy it.
Overall, it was as described and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable option to get the benefits that Kombucha has to offer. I am a longtime Amazon Prime customer who enjoys writing reviews in my free time.If you have any questions or comments about the Kombucha or my review, feel free to message me and I'll be glad to reply! If you found my review helpful, please click “yes” to let me know. It always helps to know my words are not just lost in space!
