It was packaged well and everything was included. That out of the way, the good stuff. The instructions are easy to follow even for newbies, which I was when I received the package. Everything you need to get started right away is in the package. If you have any further questions, she (Kombucha Mama) has an entire website which I have referenced numerous times since my first batch. The SCOBY is packaged well and is healthy, and it gets started right away making delicious KT (Kombucha Tea). The first batch was delicious! I made two batches using this kit. Then I decided I was drinking more Kombucha than I could make, so I upgraded to the continuous brewer and turned this gallon pitcher into my SCOBY hotel. I now have two full sized extra SCOBY's already! I haven't tried any other brand, but I'm so pleased with the service, quality of SCOBY, website, etc that I have no need to look anywhere else. In my opinion the cost is worth it because everything in it is organic, and that is important to me. The SCOBY is healthy, fresh, never frozen or refrigerated and that is important for getting started right away. Don't settle for lower quality SCOBY's. It is important the SCOBY's are healthy, young, fresh (never dried nor refrigerated) and packaged with KT. This ensures that you receive the highest quality and healthiest SCOBY's. Making KT is easy and foolproof to make with this kit. It is delicious and good for your health. The only downside is you may really love KT, realize you must make more, and either buy more kits or upgrade to continuous brewer like I did. Review: Awesome for first timers, highly recommend! - Bought this as a gift for my husband who loves homemade kombucha from a friend but hates all store bought versions. I bought it for him, but I'm the one who's been making it. I had never made it before and the instructions were extremely clear and easy to follow, even for a newbie like myself. We got a scoby from the homemade friend and used that. We've made 2 batches already with it and we are hooked. (We will use the scoby that came with the package soon.) The kit was very well packaged to protect the glass jar. Everything is labeled, it comes with pH strips for testing, a little tiny straw/sucker thing to taste as you go to find your proper level of sweetness, the huge glass jar, a lid and cloth, everything you need. Oh, and the tea and sugar! It really is completely ready to go right out of the package. Our first batch wasn't super awesome as we were figuring out how long we wanted to let it do the first fermentation and then the second fermentation. But we learned a lot with the first batch and our second batch was much better. I think we will be doing this for a very long time. This kit makes a great gift, anyone can follow it, and it seems to produce pretty good results. Love that you can change the flavors anyway you want. Note: Like many people, I rely heavily on desertcart reviews before making almost any purchase, online or in brick-and-mortar stores. I am always honest with my reviews. If I love something, I shout it from the rooftops. And if I hate it, I have no problem telling you that too.

I have cancer, & I'm trying to avoid as much sugar as I can. Thoughts?** A: I've read that the amount of sugar that remains in the finished product is very little, as the sugar is what the scoby feeds on, so the longer it ferments, the lower the sugar content. I think that brewing your own vs. buying it will allow you to control the sugar content better because you can taste it throughout the fermentation process and decide how sweet you want it. **Q: When is the addition of flavors done? When steeping, during fermentation, prior to bottling?** A: Couple of options. After your first 7-30 day fermentation remove the SCOBY and start a second batch or place in a SCOBY "hotel". You can then add flavors to your fermented Kombucha and bottle and leave at room temp for a day or two (or longer if you want more carbonation). This step is called secondary fermentation as your Kombucha will continue to ferment. After that place the bottles in the fridge (slows down the carbonation process) and enjoy your home brew! You can also leave your kombucha in the gallon jar (after removing the SCOBY), add flavorings to the gallon jar and let that sit at room temp for a day or two and then bottle afterward if that method is easier for you. **Q: Ok if the Scoby absorbs some of the plastic due to leeching and the acidic tea then would each batch I make have plastic in it?** A: Hello! Thanks for the question and very happy to answer. Your SCOBY will not absorb any plastic. They come packaged in 4 mil poly bags that meet USDA and FDA specifications for food contact, are BPA Free, and a 100% virgin low density polyethylene (#4). Low Density Polyethylene is ideal for food and beverage storage (particularly those with high acidity like Kombucha) and can withstand temperatures between -148 to 176Β° F without leaching. Kombucha Cultures are packed and shipped in these plastic bags as they are the safest and healthiest for the culture and you. **Q: I wasn't careful with instructions and covered my Kombucha culture with the lid over the cloth and rubber band for two full days, is this bad?** A: The culture should be fine if the lid was on for only two days, but be sure to finish the brew with the lid off and the cloth and rubber band still on. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend *by C***N on August 21, 2015* The item was shipped promptly and arrived as described.

Also a few helpful products that make the process even easier! *by J***S on February 22, 2015* This is a great kit from a really great company. I have made two batches of kombucha with it, both of which turned out very well, and I'm in the process of brewing my third. The kit has everything you need to get started but I would highly recommend checking out the Kombucha Shop's website (http://www.thekombuchashop.com) for more instruction, tips, and ideas for making a great, flavorful kombucha. I really like that they use organic and locally sourced ingredients where possible. I generally let my Kombucha go for about 7-9 days for the first fermentation then another 2-3 days for the second fermentation. This seems to create a brew that is slightly sweeter than most I've had with a good amount of fizz. I've tried peaches, strawberries, raspberries, and several combinations of those ingredients and they have all turned out great. I use fresh fruit when I can but frozen fruit seems to work well too. Here are a few products I've found to be helpful when making and serving the kombucha: -OXO Good Grips 3-Inch Mini Strainer: This is great for filtering out the fruit and particles when serving your kombucha following the secondary fermentation. -Calphalon Nylon Ladle Utensil: I use this for transferring the kombucha from the big gallon jar to the flip top bottles that I use for the secondary fermentation (see below) and this works great because it has notches on either side for more precise pouring of liquids. You could use an auto-siphon but I just find this to be easier and more simple. -CASE OF 12 - 16 oz. EZ Cap Beer Bottles - CLEAR: These are some fantastic flip top bottles that I use for the secondary fermentation process and they are much cheaper than the ones on the Kumbucha Shop website. -OXO Good Grips 3-Piece Funnel and Strainer Set: The smaller size works perfect with the bottles above and makes bottling a snap. -Cuisinart CTG-08-SSK Stainless Steel Skimmer: This is entirely optional because you can just as easily use your hands but it works great for gently fishing the culture out of the kombucha. I know some say not to use metal with kombucha but stainless steel is supposed to pretty safe and it's only in contact with the kombucha for a few seconds so I don't believe it has much of any effect on the kombucha but if you want to be ultra safe, just go with the tried and true method of using your hands. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Kombucha Shop Organic Kombucha Starter Kit - 1 Gallon Brewing Kit Includes All The Essentials Required for Brewing Kombucha At Home - The Kombucha Shop, Kombucha Heating Wrap - Heating Pad with Adjustable Temperature Control - The Big Book of Kombucha: Brewing, Flavoring, and Enjoying the Health Benefits of Fermented Tea --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5274500-the-kombucha-shop-organic-kombucha-starter-kit-1-gallon-brewing](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5274500-the-kombucha-shop-organic-kombucha-starter-kit-1-gallon-brewing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-04*
