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.

This is my first scoby and I am super excited to be brewing my first batch of Kombucha tea. The health benefits of drinking Kombucha tea is unbelievable. I have started the first batch and the Scoby looked great there were no issues with it, I started the first batch over the weekend so I will update this review once my first batch is complete and I see how I did. Know matter what happens with my first batch I believe whole hearted that the Scoby is good and if something were to go wrong it was my fault they say watch for everything while brewing and utensils matter and what you put in the fermenting process. I watched any videos on how to brew Kombucha and many things could make it go wrong but the Scoby if it was sealed and protected when you received it can't be the issue or it would have not been good when you received it. Some of the health benefits that researching Kambucha tea declares is:Liver detoxificationImproved pancreas functionIncreased energyBetter digestionImproved mood (helps with anxiety/depression)Reducing Candida (yeast)Helps nutrient assimilationMay be beneficial for weight lossMy 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.

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2016
Got my anemic little scoby in the mail, it was thin and small, floated to the bottom of the jar of cooled tea instantly. I live in a big drafty old farmhouse so not a lot of heat here. I put it in an upstairs room close to the heating vent, put a coffee filter over it secured with a rubber band and covered it with a towel to keep it in the dark. Kept checking on scoby and noticed a film at the top of the jar but not much else. After a couple of days, it floated to the top and joined the snot party that by now was already going on. I checked it every couple of days and noticed lots of "snot" on the top of the tea. Lost tea due to evaporation so that I had about 3/4 of a jar of tea instead of a full gallon. On day 11, I took the mother out and my "baby" which was HUGE because it had more area to grow in due to all the tea that had evaporated ( the jar gets more narrow as it gets to the top) and was 4 times the size of the mother. It was 5 1/2 inches in diameter and 3/4 of an inch wide at it's thickest point. The mother did not grow together with the baby, it remained separate. The tea was tart and fizzy and even my picky husband had to admit he liked it. I got mine from poseymom and paid 15.60 for it, I didn't get it as cheaply as
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!
