Kombucha.com Scoby with Free Organic Tea Blend Sample

I loved this scoby! I had a few hours of research under my belt and decided to take the leap and purchase a scoby! I was able to start my first brew right away. However at the time I bought it there was not a ton of information out there about alternative options besides buy a scoby. Well I became overwhelmed with the continuous brew method and being a slightly depressed girly, I let it mold. No fault of the scoby, completely mine. Fast forward many months, I decided to try again but only if it was so simple and low effort. I just want cheap kombucha!! I decided to make my own scoby homemade using the synergy brand kombucha from the store. Now I just store her in a quart jar in the fridge and pull her out when I want more kombucha. All this to say I DO recommend buying this scoby. This is a great option if you’re just beginning to test the waters! If it gets you into the world of a healthier life style that’s ALL THAT MATTERS!! This scoby helped me on my health journey, although I no longer have this one I believe in everything it taught me.

This is the second SCOBY that I had ordered, the first one was from a different company. It ended up getting mold and was thrown out. This one seemed to be much stronger than the previous one. My first batch with this SCOBY took less than the month with the other and just had an overall better appearance, which is hard to explain but I could tell this one was working MUCH better. I wish I had ordered this one when I was first starting out. Anybody looking to start brewing kombucha at home should start with this SCOBY instead of some inferior, weak SCOBY.

I was hesitant to launch on this brewing adventure because it seemed complicated and touchy. But I’m so glad I bought this Gaia SCOBY and gave it a try! It is so much simpler than I had imagined. The hardest part is waiting for a week while it ferments. Haha! I have a brew wrap keeping it a constant temperature (and warmer than my house in the wintertime) and it happily bubbles away. I am currently brewing my 3rd batch and enjoy trying new flavors (the flavor you see bottled is blueberry ginger!). Anyway, if you’re on the fence about trying, I highly recommend giving it a chance cuz it’s so easy and there’s next to no hands on time involved. My family all loves my homemade kombucha!

This SCOBY works very well. It has grown in size rapidly and churns out Booch at a great rate. There are two of us drinking a pint daily and the SCOBY out produces what we can drink. Not too bad for around 10 bucks with minimal effort! Highly Recommended. Thank You. ** We have not used the flavor packet, prefer it with just black tea.

The SCOBY + pellicle arrived packaged really securely, with clear instructions on what to do, as well as a replacement guarantee, which I needed to use due to mold growth on my batch - which had to have been my fault as a first time brewer. I still haven't figured out why there was mold, but I doubt it was an issue with the starter. They are emailing me as we speak trying to figure it out, so customer support is top notch. Thanks very much!

I looked at many different brands of kombucha starter cultures (more like studied--I just couldn't decide which to buy) and settled on this one mainly due to cost. I'm so glad I did. I was on the fence. I wasn't even sure I liked kombucha--the super strong vinegar flavor was so dominant in so many of the commercially bottled brands I tried. Don't get me wrong--I love vinegar and it's really good for your health for a number of reasons, but I wasn't sure about drinking it all the time. If you're worried about that too, let me put your mind at ease. The strains this company puts in their kombucha cultures are so superior to all of the commercial kombucha I've tried. Yes, the flavor of this kombucha is very sour/tart but without the overwhelming flavor of vinegar (it's there but not the dominant flavor). I love that! People were making fun of me making my vinegar drink but they changed their tune after tasting my home brewed kombucha. My kombucha tastes light and brightly acidic. It's so dang good! This culture is very robust, even living through what I thought was a catastrophe when a heating mat went nuts and overheated it. I'm so very pleased with my choice. If I ever accidentally kill my culture, I'll be back to re-purchase this one for sure.

I received 3x8oz Scobies today and I am very pleased. They look healthy and fresh. A free trial of tea was with my product and it made the starting of my new batch easy. Two tea bags were supplied to make it easier to make either a half gallon or a whole gallon. I'm looking forward to it when it's done fermenting. Thank you.

I am new to kombucha brewing, and this SCOBY was solidly a good experience. While I was concerned that it would not make it well through the travel/mail, it was fine. And, the company backs their products in the case that it doesn't. It's now been 6+ months, and the brewing has been going great, and I've made multiple batches and even grown new SCOBYs!
