My first ordered Scobee was trained on black tea, but recent generations have adapted well to organic yerba mate, white and green tea brews with sugar, and other experimental combinations. The photo shows how new SCOBYs get lighter with white tea and yerba mate blends, similar in color to Jun.

Old SCOBYs do well in SCOBY hotels, too—as shown on youtube. But at the rate the specimens multiply, it’s easier for me to throw out shabby- looking specimens and keep the lively, thick and younger SCOBYs.

This scoby arrived in great packaging, healthy, very active, in good size and with enough starter tea. I followed ratio instructions from the back of the pack and my first batch of kombucha was a success. I would highly recommend buying this "mama".

Excellent company, couldn't be more pleased with the product! Owners are amazing!

Arrived quickly and very nice packaging. I’m new to this but product looks very healthy and large size. Starter liquid very pungent and healthy looking. Great communication from the seller!

The SCOBY was of excellent size and in pristine condition for a starter. It's surrounding liquid was exactly the color and odor one would expect from well fermented Kombucha tea. No off odors that shouldn't have been there.

Oh this worked out great!! I read the reviews here that said these scobys come with a full cup of the kombucha starter liquid so that when you add it into your gallon of sweet tea, it will end up the perfect ph (instead of you having to add vinegar in to adjust the ph like other kombucha sets on Amazon that don't come with enough of the liquid). As a first time kombucha brewer, I was willing to pay a little extra to ensure the ph was correct from the get go, and I'm happy to report back that this worked great. I highly recommend buying your scobys from here if you are a beginner like I was.

I’ve ordered other items from this seller in the past and have always been satisfied. This SCOBY was no exception. It arrived super healthy and in great packaging. The kombucha was delicious and it created a new Scoby within a week. One thing to note is that this comes with 8 ounces of starter which is great because it’s the exact amount needed for a gallon batch. It’s important to read the listings as most others will come with half that and tell you to add vinegar to make up for the insufficient starter tea they provide. So if you don’t compensate by adding vinegar the pH won’t be low enough and you end up growing mold. I say spend the extra few dollars and get the proper amount of starter tea needed to begin with.

Everything that I have received from these guys has always been top notch! I got my first Kombucha kit a while back and it had step by step instructions that even a total newbie like me could follow and I ended up making super awesome Kombucha!!! It made me feel like a genius!!!
