Poseymom Kombucha Tea Culture (No Vinegar or Artificial Flavors Added) (Larger Scoby With Almost a Cup of Strong Starter Tea - Makes 1 Gallon)

I have actually purchased two of these SCOBYs - one a single, and the other purchase was a set of two. They both came within days of ordering, in a sealed baggie with the SCOBY(s) in another sealed baggie. They came in a box, very sturdy to withstand shipping. There is enough starter Kombucha to get going on your first batch (might add 1/4 c vinegar to it to help the probiotics along).My first single SCOBY has been used for about five batches of black tea Kombucha now, and has generated at least one baby SCOBY. I continue to use the container as a continuous batch Kombucha, fomenting 5-7 days, and the Kombucha is wonderful every time.The double SCOBY came packaged in two different baggies, perfect to share! I used my second SCOBY to generate a batch of Jun, or green tea and honey Kombucha. The other in that set was given to a friend to start her own Kombucha. She was very happy with it. My second SCOBY has generated two batches Jun, and has also doubled and tripled in size.The SCOBY orders also came with a card with PoseyMom's website, which has very clear and good instructions on how to make Kombucha. If you follow them like I did, you should have a nice batch of Kombucha in a week or so after you start. You will need a gallon glass jar, coffee filter, large rubber band, tea bags, and sugar. I also store my Kombucha in quart mason jars (purchased separately) which are inexpensive and reusable.I used to make Kombucha a long time ago, and wanted to start up again. I know it's possible to make it from scratch, but I wanted a real SCOBY to use to start. If this is you, I would highly recommend PoseyMom's SCOBYs. They are healthy, clean, come within days. I have been very happy with my SCOBYs, and highly recommend PoseyMom!

This is a fantastic product, and well worth the investment. When I started making Kombucha, I got my scoby from a friend. While the scoby worked, it was a slow process, and even after months, I never felt like my kombucha production was very good. After a busy season and making a batch of vinegar from neglect, I decided to start over and buy a scoby rather than getting one from a friend, Seriously happy with that decision. I ordered two- shipping was fast. I was concerned about the effect of the cold since I ordered at the end of December, however after allowing the scobies to come to room temperature, I made two gallons of kombucha with my regular process. Each scoby came in a Baggie with starter tea. Two weeks later, the original scobies have generated two beautiful new, thick, healthy scobies almost a half inch thick and my freshly bottled kombucha looks fantastic. My old scobies NEVER were as healthy as these new ones are. On the next batch I'll be able to start an additional two gallons of kombucha. VERY happy with this product! The attached picture shows the Poseymom scoby I received on the left, and the baby scoby on the right. WOW!

Scoby arrived in great condition, size was as pictured, about a half inch thick and around 4 inches in diameter. Good amount of starter tea, bubbles, and little bits of yeast floating around, all promising signs. Scoby floated to the bottom which is not unusual and isn’t a bad sign. I’ve been brewing kombucha for 5 years but took a very long break this year. I lost track of feeding my scobies and sadly they died. I was heartbroken and upset with myself because those scobies were descendants of my very first one, so I ordered a new scoby immediately. I’m excited to see how this develops over the next week and will take great care of this new scoby. I normally brew with green tea but decided to go with black since that is what the scoby Is used to according to the product description, just to be on the safe side. For anyone wondering, you can transition a black tea scoby to green tea, I recommend doing it slowly by gradually increasing the green tea ratio with each batch.UPDATE, 7 MONTHS LATER: the first brew was very tart which I assume is a result of strong starter tea. If that happens, don’t give up! The second brew and each one after that came out perfect, I have several new scobies, and they’re all still going strong, 7 months later.

I'm on my 10th batch and each batch produces a new, strong SCOBY without fail. I began saving them until I decided to just throw (or give) the old one away after the new one started.This is a very resilient SCOBY. It shipped to me in Seattle in the wintertime when it was < 30* and sat on my doorstep for a couple days.It didn't freeze by the time I got it inside, but I was worried it may have been damaged nonetheless. Once I dropped it into my gallon tea jar to brew, it tripled in size in just under a week, so I was relieved.Another testament to its durability: after each batch (I brew 2 gallons every other week), the SCOBYs will remain in the jars with a couple cups of the tea to keep them alive. However, I had a few times where I hadn't brewed for a few weeks and they grew to over an inch thick and were solid, white discs... they still worked just fine and produced perfect tea each time.Top-tier quality.

It’s really good quality and very good to have clear instructions for the starter

Arnaque !!! Les descriptifs des souches et les photos sont mensongères. Plusieurs annonces de marque Kombucha Organique mais c'est toujours la même souche : carré très fine avec des trous et 3 cuillères à soupe de liquide de démarrage. Le poids total avec les deux sachets 124 grammes. La souche reste fine et môle ne petille pas (en comparaison avec les souches d'autres marques). Le thé de cette souche ne petille pas est très fades . Je voulais changer cette souche et après longue réflexion je croyais avoir fait le bon choix, mais j'ai reçu la même. J'ai souhaité retourner cette souche non ouverte, mais le vendeur n'a pas donné suite. J'ai commandé une autre souche de marque K......a , plus chère et la qualité n'a rien à voir et en plus une tasse bien pleine de liquide de démarrage. Si vous ne connaissez pas beaucoup les Kombucha ACHETEZ VOS SOUCHES CHEZ LES AUTRES PRODUCTEURS !!! Ne perdrez pas votre temps et votre argent. À gauche c'est la souche de Kombucha Organique, mise en production en septembre 2020. À droite une souche de KIRANDIA mise en production 20 novembre 2020. Pas de comparaison !!!

The Scoby is thick is immediately took to the new feeding ! Can’t wait to taste the kombucchaThank you Lady Rainbow V

Very happy with the scoby, service was fast, made my first batch of Kombucha following their directions and it was awesome, would definitely recommend this...

I would give it a zero star if I could. It arrived with a leaking bag and it is mouldy! I want a refund!
