## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A week and no sign of a SCOBY.
*by I***. on September 4, 2024*

UPDATE: After the company was kind enough to replace the tea, and provide a SCOBY, I was able to brew two gallons so far. This company has wonderful customer service, and sells huge healthy SCOBIES. I will be back if needed. Once you purchase a SCOBY you will grow a new one with each batch you brew. Such a fascinating science.The initial starter tea did not work, but I learned a trick that might help you. Instead of making a whole gallon, I would add the SCOBY and starter or just the starter tea if you want to create the SCOBY, to 4 cups of sweetened tea and let it set aside for a few days so the mixture can feed and ferment before adding water. If you do this, you should not have any issues with brewing. I tried this with a very thin SCOBY I grew from the original SCOBY in a black tea Kombucha. I put the thin but healthy new SCOBY in a black/green tea mix. I let it set aside for about a week. When it was really sour, I added the liquid alone, to 8 cups of water and 4 cups of sweetened tea. Overnight, a beautiful SCOBY has already started growing, and the tea has a nice flavor. I discovered you can rinse and cover your SCOBY in honey and eat it. I was scared to do it, but I tried it. Despite it sounding bizarre, it was yummy. I was sure to let it marinate in the fridge for a few days to remove the residual sour flavor so I might do it again with the thin SCOBY I used to make the green/black tea starter. I am not suggesting anyone eat their SCOBY, just saying I saw it and tried it, and I am still alive and happy.ORIGINAL REVIEWI gave five stars because though there is no SCOBY after a week, the company did a great job with customer service. I would have given a 1 star because I would have felt like money and resources to make this were wasted. When I received the package, I was concerned because the bottom of the bottle was bloated, but I was told that was a good sign. I will wait a little longer and see if a SCOBY finally forms. Smelling the tea, there is a vinegary smell so maybe it is doing something. Product was nicely packaged in a plastic bag.

### ⭐ No Scoby
*by S***N on October 3, 2024*

Followed directions carefully. After 15 days, there was zero scoby formation. Brew still tasting very sweet. Appears that no active microbes were present in the product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just started my first batch yesterday
*by T***N on December 29, 2024*

We will see how this turns out. Since it can take around 6-10 days to make Kombucha. I think it will be worth the wait
