SCOBY & Starter Liquid
Need a SCOBY for homebrewing kombucha? Get a reusable Kombucha SCOBY & Starter Liquid, grown from scratch. Once you have a SCOBY, all you need is black tea & sugar (try our Kombucha Recipe Kit) and a fermenter (try our Kombucha Jar with Valve)!
Each SCOBY will average 3 - 4" in diameter, but will will grow to fit your fermenter when you start your first batch. Your SCOBY & Starter Liquid culture may be thin or thick, opaque or see-through, dark or light, smooth or textured. It may fold in transit, the pouch may also expand. Your Kombucha SCOBY might have a few layers that may split or stay connected, it may also have some floaters.
IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend ordering a SCOBY in warmer spring, summer or fall months. Cold winter weather can cause SCOBYs to freeze in transit or in your mailbox, which can harm the health of the culture. We do our best to monitor the temperature in your delivery area prior to shipping to help prevent frozen cultures, but we are not liable for frozen SCOBYs.
