16oz Kombucha Starter Tea

This made it so easy to start making my own kombucha. After reading a ton of articles on how to make it, I decided to try this starter and let it form it's own pelicle and it worked perfectly! I'm now on my third batch (1 gallon), and have a scoby jar constantly going so I can make a new batch whenever I want: I just throw the pelicles in a gallon jar about half full of starter each time I am ready for a second ferment. The instructions are easy and clearly written, and my kombucha has tasted fantastic! If I ever end up needing another starter, I would 100% buy this again.

Great starter

I have purchased this product twice. The first time I purchased it, I had been given a small SCOBY from a friend with no starter kombucha, so I ordered this to get my first batch going. The SCOBY grew beautifully and we had great Kombucha for over a year until I accidently broke my jar and lost the SCOBY. This second time, I did not have a SCOBY and followed the directions for a starter batch. Unfortunately, no SCOBY grew and I was left with a patch of mold on my tea. I did try to email the company, but after a week, I have not received a response so am leaving this review.

With 6 to 7 years brewing experience, I know all you need is starter tea. The bottles arrived, I opened the bag and placed each separately bagged bottle on the counter. Yes, the bottom of each bottle bulged, as expected. Good sign of healthy tea! And it smells very healthy!! I continuous brew in a large dispenser with a spigot. I used both bottles (16oz each) following the recipe for 1 bottle. I like to keep it strong while introducing different water, different sugar, new environment. In a week I’ll add the other gallon of sweet tea. Added a picture my brewing of vessel & one taken after 5 days; good healthy formation of the “scoby/mother” ph was 3.0. So I added the 2nd gallon of sweet tea. Happy brewing! Update 3 weeks later I’m now enjoying my fizzy sparkling brew fight from the tap! Thankful I found your product!

I was skeptical because of past experiences with other starters. Because I'm in the middle of a move, the bottle I bought sat in the refrigerator for over 6 months. I finally decided that I better do something with it or toss it. 2 weeks ago I mixed up a batch, not really expecting it to do anything because it's been so long. IT GREW! There's a healthy pellical mat forming in the jar! I can't wait to start brewing!

My favorite starter for kombucha. Always makes a good batch. I continue to make dozens of batches from each starter. Great flavor. I have used other brands, but always come back to this one.

Update- The seller reached out and offered to replace or refund the item. I appreciate the seller trying to fix the issue. The bottle arrived with the bottom already bent outward. I just thought this was a different shaped bottle and thought nothing of it, until I tried to open the bottle and it exploded all over my kitchen. Will not be purchasing this again

My very first time making Kombucha and it turned out perfect, exactly how I wanted it! The starter liquid that comes inside of the purchased Scoby didn't have enough enough starter liquid so I added one half bottle of Kombucha starter with what comes with the Scoby and I had another Scoby larger than my original because the glass was a one gallon wide mouth. My second fermentation I added frozen fruit and powdered ginger because I didn't have fresh ginger and I love ginger so much! I loved ♥ the passion fruit, lemon 🍋, and ginger the best!! It was carbonated and perfect! You can also use this Kombucha to make your own Scoby if you don't want to buy one. YouTube has many videos that are available to help you make the perfect Kombucha and Scoby. Don't just watch one. Watch several.
