Organic kombucha scoby

What's round, beige-brownish and rhymes with Toby? That's right, a SCOBY. Also called a tea fungus, the Scoby is indispensable for making the refreshing drink par excellence: kombucha! The fermented drink tastes deliciously sour, is vegan and is a great alternative to iced tea, lemonade and co. Our kombucha tea mushroom is now available in organic quality at an unbeatable price – get it now!

Growing kombucha mushrooms

The Scoby tea fungus is a living organism and continues to grow in the right environment, which can be thought of as a Scoby Hotel. You will receive our kombucha Scoby together with a suitable preparation liquid consisting of water, sugar, black tea, green tea and Kombucha cultures – everything you need to open your own Scoby Hotel. Important: During fermentation, structures may form on the surface of the Scoby that look like mould at first glance. In most cases, however, these are harmless yeast structures – a normal part of the process. A real mould infestation would show up as fluffy, dry, greenish to black spots. Simply rinse the receptacles used with warm water between fermentations and always wash your hands when using the scoby. This way, you can always be sure that your Scoby is ready for the next round.

Home-made fresh kombucha

To make delicious kombucha with your tea mushroom, you first need a large, heat-resistant container in which you pour 600 ml of boiling water. Steep 12 g of black tea or green tea for approx. 15 minutes (for green tea, we recommend our organic green tea Sencha ), then dissolve 100 g of sugar completely in the liquid and add 400 ml of cold water. Let the liquid cool to 20-30ºC and only then add your Scoby with its liquid to it. Cover your jar with a cotton cloth and leave it at room temperature for 10-14 days. When you are satisfied with the acidity of your kombucha, pour it into bottles and keep them in the fridge. And this is how a beige-brownish piece of goo (sorry, we cannot describe it any other way) becomes an incredibly delicious, carbonated drink in a fortnight – pretty cool, isn't it!
