    Organic Kombucha SCOBY – Fresh, Active & Ready to Brew

    Experience the crisp, refreshing taste of homemade kombucha with our premium organic Kombucha SCOBY. Grown in small batches using organic green and black tea and organic raw cane sugar, each culture is carefully nurtured in a clean, temperature-controlled environment and arrives active and ready to brew.

    Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned fermenter, making kombucha at home is simple, rewarding and more affordable than buying it by the bottle. With tea, sugar, your SCOBY and the included starter liquid, you’ll have everything you need culture-wise to begin your own brewing routine.

    Enjoy your kombucha plain or explore your favourite fruit, herb and spice combinations. With proper care, your culture can keep producing batch after batch, with each brew providing starter liquid for the next.

    Every Kombucha SCOBY purchase includes our Complete Guide to Kombucha & Jun digital eBook at no additional cost. Learn how to understand your culture, control your ferment, care for your SCOBY and starter liquid, troubleshoot common problems, explore second fermentation and enjoy eight flavour recipes. Most importantly, learn to read the ferment, not just the clock.

    You Will Receive

    • Ongoing support – friendly, personal help whenever you need it to get the best results from your culture.

    Note: Your kombucha culture is reusable. With proper care and enough mature starter liquid reserved from each batch, you can keep brewing for years — a buy-once, brew-again culture.

    Simple Home Brewing

    Start with sweetened tea, allow it to cool, then add your SCOBY and starter liquid according to the included instructions. Cover your brewing jar with a breathable cover and let your culture get to work.

    As fermentation develops, the sweetness gradually gives way to kombucha’s familiar tang. Your brewing conditions and taste preferences will help shape each batch, giving you the freedom to find the balance you enjoy.

    Make It Your Own

    Once you’ve established your plain brew, there’s plenty of room to explore. Enjoy the flavour of the tea itself or try combinations such as ginger and lemon, raspberry, passionfruit, or apple and cinnamon.

    Your included eBook explains flavouring, bottling and second fermentation, with practical guidance on carbonation and pressure management, plus eight Kombucha and Jun flavour recipes to inspire your next batch.

    Confidence Beyond Your First Batch

    A living culture won’t behave exactly the same way every time. Your SCOBY may float, sink or tilt, and new layers, yeast strands and sediment can develop as you brew.

    Our instructions, included eBook and ongoing support help you understand those changes, care for your starter liquid and recognise when something needs closer attention. You’ll have a practical reference to return to as your confidence grows.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is the Kombucha & Jun eBook included with my SCOBY?

    Yes. Every Kombucha SCOBY purchase includes our Complete Guide to Kombucha & Jun digital eBook at no additional cost. The 45+ page guide covers your first batches, understanding fermentation, long-term culture care, troubleshooting, second fermentation and eight flavour recipes. It also includes separate brewing instructions for Kombucha and Jun, handy reference pages and a brewing record.

    Is this suitable for a complete beginner?

    Absolutely. You’ll receive an active culture, starter liquid and clear instructions to help you begin. Your free eBook explains the process in more detail, and our friendly support is available if you need help along the way.

    How much kombucha can I make?

    Your culture can brew up to 3 litres per batch when following the supplied instructions. Use the recommended proportions of tea, sugar and starter liquid, especially for your first brew.

    What else do I need to get started?

    You’ll need tea, sugar, suitable drinking water, a brewing jar and a breathable cover. Your SCOBY and starter liquid are included, and the instruction sheet and eBook explain how to prepare your first batch.

    Why is the starter liquid important?

    Starter liquid is mature kombucha that contains living microorganisms and provides acidity for a new batch. It’s an essential part of your brewing culture. Always reserve enough plain, unflavoured kombucha for your next batch before flavouring or bottling the rest.

    Can I reuse my SCOBY?

    Yes. With proper care, your culture can keep producing batch after batch. Each successful brew provides mature starter liquid for the next, and new surface layers may form as fermentation continues. Your eBook explains how to maintain your culture and manage breaks between brews.

    What if my SCOBY sinks?

    A SCOBY can float, sink or tilt in the jar — its position alone doesn’t tell you whether fermentation is working. Your eBook explains normal culture changes and how to assess your brew using more than a single visual sign.

    Can I flavour my kombucha?

    Yes. Flavour your kombucha after the main fermentation, keeping your starter liquid aside first. Your included eBook covers flavouring and second fermentation, with eight Kombucha and Jun flavour recipes and guidance on suitable bottles and managing carbonation.

    Does the eBook also explain how to make Jun?

    Yes. The guide includes separate brewing instructions for Kombucha and Jun and explains their differences. To make Jun using those instructions, you’ll need an established Jun culture, which is purchased separately.

    Is the included eBook a physical book?

    No. It’s a digital eBook that you can refer to on your phone, tablet or computer. You’ll also receive a printed, double-sided instruction sheet with your culture.

    What if I need help with my brew?

    We’re here to help. Your purchase includes ongoing support, so you can get in touch if you have questions about your first batch, culture care or changes in your brewing routine.
