Organic SCOBY Kombucha Starter Kit - 100% Guaranteed to Brew - Fresh, Live Culture with Starter Liquid - The Kombucha Shop

If im completely honoest here, my sister-in-law decided to throw this away even though it was inside a completely sealed bag with a label. Before she did so, though, it was quite obviously alive and heathly. The bag was pressurized with CO² and the SCOBY mat looked perfect with just a little bit of yeast starting to grow tendrels off the SCOBY. I have bought this brand before and I'm really happy with the end results. I cook raw honey and use that to feed the yeast and I end up with quite the arrangement of flavors.

Alive and well. Was able to immediately start making my drink when I got it.

i've done kombucha in the past so i'm not new at this. i can't say for sure why this time things did not work out, but both batches i set up using this product failed. the two batches were started ten days apart so whatever was the cause was present in both. the only element that was the same was the source of the mother. both batches used different containers and a slightly different recipe (one used green tea and the other used oolong). i followed same protocol and exercised the same care i did in the past where things worked fine... what else can i say? i don;t know the mother's were bad but if i try again any time soon I'll select a different source.

This was perfect for starting off a new batch of kombucha after moving cities. Arrives in its own starter kit, and ready to go for your first brew. It’s still going strong 8 months later after buying it and we’re very happy with the quality and value for money!

I'm on batch #7! The SCOBY was much smaller than anticipated with very little starter tea. I brew in gallon jars & knew it would take a while to catch up. I let it grow for a month for the first batch & the baby filled out the top. I've separated mother/baby & am able to use the small mother to do quicker test batches in mason jars to try different recipes.Once established, I have used alternate sugar sources, although the directions warn against it. My favorite is Trader Joe's Ginger Brew (cane sugar). I also appreciated the resource guide.

This scoby worked great to get our first batch of Kombucha going. Now it's been a few months and while I have the original set aside in the scoby hotel, we've had many a good batch of kombucha from this. It was convenient and we didn't have to use it right away, but started working right away on our first batch.

Delivery was a fee days early , product was in perfect condition.After transferred it produced another Scoby in about a week , transferred second one & it's producing quickly.

It appeared to be a week specimen, and it took almost three weeks to fully develope, but the tea turned out fine.
