Organic Kombucha SCOBY Culture

Kombucha is a fermented sweetened tea loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, probiotics and minerals to improve our health and wellbeing.

Our kombucha SCOBYs are grown and nurtured under license so that when they leave us they are resilient and ready for their new home. 

Kombucha SCOBYs can go by various names including:

  • Kombucha culture
  • Mother culture
  • Pellicle
  • Kombucha mushroom

What is a SCOBY?

A SCOBY is a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts used to ferment sweetened tea into probiotic kombucha. The SCOBY is a cellulose mat made up of bacteria and yeasts which are imperative to the fermentation of kombucha. Read our blog to find out more about what is a Kombucha SCOBY and the benefits.

How do I make kombucha with a SCOBY?

One needs to have a SCOBY in order to ferment your kombucha. You simply dissolve sugar into tea, cool it to room temperature, and add your SCOBY. Wait a few days and you will now have kombucha that you can flavour according to your desired taste. All instructions are provided with your purchase to start fermenting 1L of kombucha and increased volumes. Read our blog about how to make Kombucha at home.

When receiving your SCOBY, you either need to ferment it within a few days of receiving it, or place it in the fridge for up to 10 days if you are not going to ferment it right away.

 

Everything you need to make Kombucha:

Alternatively, we provide a complete Kombucha Kit which includes everything you need. All you need to do is add water!

We are underway with our Kombucha brewing

We are underway with our Kombucha brewing, and it was good from the first batch. We are experimenting with the ginger and lemon for the secondary fermentation to get more fizz but it all tastes great. Thank you for a great product.

Fantastic! It did take a while for it to arrive as I’m in the South Island

Fantastic! It did take a while for it to arrive as I’m in the South Island, so that’s understandable, but it was packed airtight, had enough starter tea for a small batch which I have been growing to a larger starter 😊 great quality, very happy!

Kombucha scoby organic 😊😊

I am enjoying the kombucha I have been making & am waiting patiently for the scoby to multiply. It appears to be slowly happening so will remain patient! Very happy with the product thank you.

Great to hear Allie! It will multiply with a little time and patience;)

The SCOBY arrived in good condition and over a week it has grown a thin, much larger skin. I’m hoping my second ferment in bottles will be a success.

Drinking Kombucha cheaply

I set up the scoby as per the instructions and with the warm weather it seems to be growing.My plan is to not take anything from this batch (apart from tasting) but when it has reached maturity in a few days I intend to use it as a starter for a bigger batch.
Bottled kombucha is about $5 per litre bottle.When I have got this fully running I would expect that cost to be a few cents per litre. I intend to use homegrown fruir (lemons, plums and apricots) along with some shop bought ginger for flavouring.
