FAQs
SCOBY stands for 'Symbiotic Culture of bacteria and yeast'. Very simply, it's a group of microbes that consume the sugar in the tea and ferment it to turn sweetened tea into Kombucha.
We send a super easy-to-understand instruction sheet along with your Kombucha SCOBY. We're also available to handhold you through the process.
A great SCOBY, ideally, is at least a month old. You want to get a SCOBY that is free from pathogenic microbes. Wild fermentation results from the surrounding air coming in contact with and reacting with the ferment. Especially in a country like India with questionable and undesirable air quality, lab testing and trained microbiologists are essential to ensure they don't contain pathogens.
Apart from that, organic ingredients, sanitised space for SCOBY cultivation, experience and technical knowledge all contribute to quality!
