Classic Kombucha SCOBY – USDA Certified Organic Live Kombucha Starter Culture Reviews

4.9 Rating 1,258 Reviews
“First time brewing kombucha, so far so good (3 months in). I've never brewed a bottle of kombucha in my life, but inflation is hitting hard these days so I decided I needed to do it myself. Looked this up on Amazon and saw this as one of the best rated, so I decided to give it a shot. Look, I'm not a DIY guy usually, but this was incredibly easy to follow. I'm now brewing a gallon every two weeks which has been more than enough. I think my SCOBY has grown big enough to mother a second! Highly recommended for beginners like me.”

“Easy. This isn't my first rodeo with Kombucha. I am really impressed with the Fermentaholics Scoby and instructions, especially if it's new too you. My scoby is thick and stayed on top from the beginning. Great product, don't hesitate to purchase.”

“Great for beginners, would buy again. I'm new to making kombucha after trying my neighbors' homemade kombucha. I was delighted at how easy it was to make and I bought this scoby to get started.The instructions on the packet were super easy to follow. I made a black tea and a separate green tea kombucha using this scoby. Granted kombucha looks kinda snotty and gross, my husband won't go near it but I love having the full flexibility to make kombucha how I want, adjusting sweetness and flavor, type of tea used etc.I paired some of my newly brewed kombucha with a flavoring booster and was very happy with how they turned out!I used large wide mouth mason jars to brew in and screw a coffee filter over the jar opening. Smaller batches are ideal for me since I don't drink it every day.One change I would like to see is if the brewing instructions came on a card that you could keep on the fridge or in a recipe book rather than the outer packaging. My family keep trying to throw out the packaging with the instructions on it and I'm not quite confident in my kombucha brewing skills just yet!Would I buy again? Yes absolutely! It was convenient and easy to use!”

“Fantastic Customer Service. I had a problem with the temperature in my home being too cold and I let my scobi mold. I called customer service and they were very helpful. I sent photos and they confirmed the problem right away. They even replaced my scobi even though it wasn't their fault. Thanks Fermentaholics! I'm now brewing large batches in my kitchen. I have added a heat mat to help my brew stay the right temperature.”

“Great Stuff from Fermentaholics!. The scoby and starter tea worked great. The scoby sank after a couple days but I have successful fermentation anyways. I was a bit concerned considering we are having very hot 100+ days right now and the packages were left in the mail box for some time.Maybe fermentaholics could write "live!" on the package? Either way they are tough because i didnt have an issue and i started 4 separate batches.”
