On My Third Batch! I'm on my third batch of Kombucha utilizing this as my starter. Works great! Next step is to perhaps try a different brand of SCOBY and see if that affects the flavor at all. Really happy with using this for my first attempt at brewing! Thank you Fermentaholics!

Healthy scoby. Scoby was healhty and thick. I successfully brewed kombucha at my first try and got many layers of scoby in the past couple of month. The instructions are clear, and include some useful tips about temperature and vinegar.

This works well. I used this to make my first batch of kombucha, using their recipe. The result is exactly as expected. The Scoby does resemble the thing that attacked Spock on Star Trek, but makes darn good kombucha.

package arrived very clean and well packed.. I was not sure what I would receive but it was great. Nicely packaged (it is a liquid) and very clean. Would definitely order again.

Worth it. I would buy this again. It came with plenty of extra tea to help jump start my kombucha. I'm impressed.

Did not work this time. The starter tea and SCOBY did not work this time for a gallon brew. Second purchase of this product. First one was great and was inspiration to start brewing kombucha again. This second try arrived with a thin, small scoby. After 14 days there was no baby SCOBY and really no difference in taste from the start. Same at 20 days. This is my first ever seeming fail after many kombucha batches and no change in procedure, equipment, or storage. Room temperature (summer) was slightly higher but completely within brewing range. Actually may have been a better temperature for brewing compared to winter months. Not sure what to think. May try once more to determine if product or user error? Just thought someone should know this is a possibility. 3 stars because the product worked very well the first time.
