Hi Mark, thanks for reaching out, and yes, what you purchased is a SCOBY, not a kit. If you are unhappy or wanted something different, you can absolutely return it. I will follow up directly by email in addition to here. I look forward to speaking with you.
“Small Scoby is now one Large Scoby! Very pleased! This small scoby has grown into one huge mother! The right amount of starter tea and the right temperature really got this going! I would definitely purchase again.”
