my tea keeps getting cloudy. many websites advise the cloudiness occurs when the brewed tea is chilled too quickly. i follow your directions, but

I let my tea brew for 2hours, take out teabags then refrigerate or serve. It gets bitter if you let it set out overnight.

You can call Kombucha Kamp directly and ask them about your specific situation; it should be ok unless it's left unattended for many hours in freezing weather. (note: I already answered this question in the forums; someone else asked, too, and I posted a direct quote from Kombucha Kamp, which I don't have to hand at the moment). This has been a really great company to deal with; prompt, great service, and willing to answer questions! Best of Luck!

I never thought to do this so I tried it last night, using the cold water that came out of my refrigerator filter. I used two of the tea bags and a large 8 cup Pyrex measuring cup. I poured the water over the tea bags and the water remained clear. When I woke up 7 hours later, the water was the usual tea color but a weaker shade. When I tasted it, it tasted weaker too. So I would say this does not work well. I usually let the tea steep for several hours after pouring boiling water over the tea bags but now I am thinking that simply hot water will do. But not cold water....

I have a dark glass container for my tea. It does bother me but if it means continuing to get the tea at this price I don't mind doing a container swap.

Once you have wet those leaves ...to me ... I there is no going back. I will steep more then a couple time through each gathering of leaves. Depending on the leaf. It's it's more then a couple hours I let them sit with the lid open. More things grow in moisture then dry. Mmmm tea

Not at all. It clouds up when it gets cold which probably happens in the shipping trucks. I'm just finishing up my second delivery of 6 bottles and have to order more. Good stuff.

The balls in the photo must be props. You will get a noticeable cloudy center whether you use distilled, boiled, or filtered water. The only way to get clear is to use one of the systems that has a reservoir of water connected to the molds, like the iceballer. I don't work for them, but I'm a satisfied customer. I suspect that all the positive remarks here are fake, because none show you photos of their ice.

I have not made iced tea with it but I know it makes great tea and you should be able to cool it after it brews or even put it over ice....this is so much easier than a tea pot and the clean up is quick and easy..I love it....

Yes it kills the good bacteria also, but only the bacteria that runs through the machine. You water is cloudy because you have too much bacteria in your aquarium so killing some takes the cloudiness away. Just a note...I got cloudy water because I was feeding too much. Remove 20% of the water weekly and lower your feeding amount and you shouldn't have trouble with cloudy water.

It is a good product, however the cloudiness of the water may be due to different causes: too much food, tank stabilization, overpopation of bateria so depending on your problem it may or may not work. sometimes people say it doesn't work because the issue they have will not get solve with this. If everything in the water is ok (chemically) this will help. New tank syndrome will help for a few hours and then come back. In those cases, you just have to wait for the tank to get over the stabilization period(new tank syndrome") for the water to clear up. Nothing else will work. I know it is not visually pretty but that just how it is.

Hello Eileen,We advise to brew the tea in the regular form with adding more tea for iced tea and then having it drain over a cup of ice.

I have not had any problems with cloudiness. I make a pot of it a day using my hot water dispenser, which isn't filtered water. But we have pretty good water where I live. I'm on my 2nd bag of Davidson's and haven't had any issues.

I haven't put really hot liquid in it. I usually want to drink it relatively soon. BTW, you shouldn't use very hot water to brew tea as the heat can kill off the nutrients in tea.

I haven't seen that happen. The only thing that has happened is the tea diffuser has changed color because of the black tea but it won't give off the black tea taste if you make something else.

I don't think (in my opinion) that it should be that cloudy, provided it was kept in a dark place at room temperature. I have heard they are one of the best. However it's always possible to have one that may not be the best. If it still smells like it did when you got it, it should be okay.

Do not double the dosage of this product. Over treatment can cause cloudy water. If this is not clearing your cloudy water you most likely have some other issues going on.

Had the same issue. Please soak overnight with dishwashing liquid that has lemon fragrance. Dont leave tea bag in after steeping.
