Organic SCOBY Kombucha Starter Kit with Live Culture for Brewing Kombucha Tea - Urban Kitchen

I have been making Kombucha for about 15 years and sadly had a mold infiltrate my batch and had to start over. I bought a dehydrated SCOBY from a well known brand and it would not activate. I tried a second time - no luck. I then bought this SCOBY with activated brew and I was back into brewing! It made a beautiful new SCOBY and I had my first batch in 2 weeks! I will never waste my time with that well-known brand's dehydrated SCOBYs again.

Arrived fast, works very well, just follow the . We enjoyed the home brew kombucha all summer, fall and even the winter. I had some questions and received prompt and detailed advise.

Great health benefits. They look healthy and the size is right. Very easy to start kombucha with these

I've made many batches of kombucha, this has worked great! Growing new layers every batch!

Ease of use: I have been making kombucha tea for several months and wanted to increase my productivity by purchasing 2 of the premade scoby and starter liquid sets as it’s difficult to find raw unflavored kombucha in my area to start my own. The scoby looked healthy upon arrival however there was not a lot of starter tea. Maybe MAYBE a cup. Typically I use minimum one cup, usually two. The scoby was not as large as I expected. I let all this slide because I was excited to use the product. After less than a week, my f1 had mold in both batches. As the scoby is not necessary to do your f1 but the starter tea is. This was a hopeful venture that disappointed. I will say it was packaged nicely and the scoby looked healthy. I have not had mold before and I’ve processed everything the same as normal. I can’t 100 percent state the mold was due to the product but I can’t say it wasn’t. I can state I won’t try this route again.

Put it in a bucket of tea and it'll invite friends over. I prefer to use its friends for future brews and toss it. I know that's not what you're supposed to do.......... But she gets nasty in time and her friends stay the same.

A bit small but gets the job done.

Wow! Just got it. Probably 1/4-1/2” thick. Just put it in my first batch. We’ll see how it does! So far, very impressed by the size and quality of the SCOBE. Looked like a thick slice of tomato. We’ll see how it tastes after 7 days or so.
