Great starter kit... Well packaged scoby in food saver bag double bagged, sugar and a tea bag with green and black tea. All you need is a 1.5 L// 1/2 gal glass container, breathable cover and water. I used cheese cloth and elastic band. As others have mentioned you can use a coffee filter and rubber band. Here, it's been fermenting for 3 days... and smells good. Looking forward to the taste test.

I had to try this coffee in an attempt to find a lower price on k-cups. I love it! It's a good strong brew, with a nice smoky aroma. The 36-count comes as 3 plastic bags of 12 cups. After opening the 1st bag, I'm keeping the remainder in the bag, sealed with a clip. It's possible that these could have freshness issues if left out for several days/weeks. I don't think my supply will last long enough to go bad though. I like the idea of less plastic - I like to compost my coffee grounds in the summer and these have much easier access to dumping out the grounds. (I can just tear open the mesh bag.) They fit in the Keurig and brew just fine.

In fact, I usually buy the strongest coffee k-cups so I can "double-brew" mine into a bigger mug. True coffee aficionados may not prefer this. It may be too strong if you like lighter roasts or flavored coffees.

Tastes great, cheaper and more environmentally friendly than other k-cups!

Just finished my first batch.  I found answers to my questions at the Kombucha Shop website.  The thermometer and ph strips were so helpful.  I would order this again and would recommend highly for beginners.  The taste is much better to my liking.  I don't care for the highly carbonated commercial brands.  Making this at home allows me to brew to my taste.  Great going Kombucha Shop!

Have been using this for Kombucha. Has worked wonderfully and it's very tasty. Will purchase again.

I found that I love kombucha and buying in bulk was the best way that I could afford it. I was stoked when I came across an amazon coupon for a 24 pack of kumbacha. I realized it was smaller and different than the kumbacha drinks in the bottle but I was willing to try it. I loved having them in stock at my home and do not regret buying these, but I prefer the bottled stuff.

Best bagged green tea ever. Makes for excellent kombuchas as well. I use 5 of these with a cup of organic sugar and a gallon of spring water. Great stuff.

No kidding...I'm in love.

I like a nice refreshing drink at night; I'm not in the mood to guzzle, but rather I like a nice, soothing, mellow tasting beverage that's easy on the tastebuds. Of course, I didn't want caffeine, and I am not a huge water lover at night. So I tried Dasani, and found it immediately AMAZING.

It's delicious...the drink has no strong tastes, but is quite pleasantly sweet, and has a nice pineapple flavor. The coconut is almost an aftertaste...it's mild and doesn't overpower the pineapple; it just provides a nice, mellow kind of hint...like ambrosia.

It's not cheap, but it's not expensive, either, especially when you figure it has about 32 servings. Well, in all honesty I probably get about half that, but at about $4 a bottle (and it's easy to find a little cheaper than that), it comes out to about a quarter or less per 12 ounce serving. Not bad.

I do really find them to be delicious...absolutely wonderful. I love that the bottle of drops is so portable--so I can carry them with me everywhere, and I love the fact that you can choose the level of sweetness and flavor; I only lightly flavor a bottle of water that I take out to do yard work, but I more heavily flavor my drinks at night, as the ice melts when it sits around before I drink it.

NOTE: Before closing, however, I think it's important to say that there are a lot of chemicals in this drink: potassium citrate, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, sucrose acetate isobutyrate, medium chain triglycerides, potassium benzoate and potassium sorbate, red 40, yellow 6. If you're not uncomfortable with this (and I have no big problem with it; I figure there are equal chemicals in most foods nowadays. I'm certainly getting them in soda, and snacks, etc.) So it's not enough for me to switch.

Especially not when it tastes this good.

I use this to make kombucha, and it does have a good flavor! Mind you, I haven't made kombucha with any other teas, so I can't compare tastes. But I was really glad to get a 100% organic tea, which is not available in any stores close to me.

A tip to share for cost-conscious kombucha makers: various recipes will tell you to use 5-10 tea bags per 3-qt batch of booch. Through experimentation, I've learned that it works just fine to use half the amount of recommended tea, as long as you let it steep twice as long as recommended in the recipe. What a great way to halve the cost of the tea used! This is especially important when using expensive teas such as this one.

I had some skepticism upon reading the reviews as my earlier comment below (below the line of stars) points out.  However, I did order the kit and I can say the positive feedback is warranted.
I think I am a pretty typical buyer, likes Kombucha, drinks it fairly often and thought it would be a fun idea, that may even save money, to make my own.

Many months ago I picked up a scoby at my local natural grocery.  It said it its neat little package (still there actually) for months.  I had good intentions to make Kombucha but life got in the way.  I did not have all the other things needed like the jar etc.  For that matter I did not even know what I needed.

The beauty of this kit is that you have everything you need to get started as well as a very detailed instruction sheet.  The instructions are easy to read, step by step and thorough.

I made my first batch of Kombucha, Letting it sit for 2 weeks.  My kids asked me everyday if it was done :)  My house is a little cold this time of year so it was at the low end of temperature range indicated in the instructions.  It turned out great.  My 6 year old is very excited an told me homemade Kombucha is way better!

The flavor is great and it is very satisfying to have made my own.  I am going to start another batch today which should be one as soon as the first one is gone.

I have no reservation giving this kit 5 stars.  I would order it again without a doubt.

This may be a great product but looking at the stellar reviews I was a little suspicious.  Out of 18 reviews 13 were made on the same day by customers that had only reviewed the kombucha Shop products.

Again it could be great but I don't think the reviews on this product are unbiased.

perfect for doing contuous kombucha brewing. make sure you test the spichot with water and tighten it up till there are no drips. we have cycled these through several rounds of continous brew without a hitch. we are running three of them because we have 4 booch drinkers in the house and also share with family and friends.

I have bought this kombucha kit several times from Oregon Kombucha. They include everything you need to make your Kombucha tea. Their brewing guide is simple and easy to follow. Would buy from them again.

I went to www.culturedfoodlife.com and watched Donna's video.  I was hooked.  Bought grains and making my own kefir for a year soon.  Just started making Kombucha and I just keep getting younger and healthier. (and prettier.)  We need to do what we can to protect our health.  Give it a try and you can get great results also.

This is The Best Kombucha book to get. I am pretty new to booch brewing and this has been my go-to as well as Annna's Kombucha Kamp website. If I have questions, I can usually find the answers on her site or I refer to this book. I had originally borrowed an older edition of this book from the public library first, just to make sure it was worthy of me buying it. Well I renewed it two times (the max) and found it to be very useful for making Kombucha and learning the science behind it as well as the history of Kombucha. After having the borrowed book for almost 2 months, I had to reluctantly return it to the library. I then decided to purchase the book. When it arrived, I started flipping thru it and found there were some things that were different from the borrowed one. There was even a letter from GT Dave that I didn't remember from the other copy. This book is worth every penny that I paid for it and it's nice to have all the information in one place as opposed to papers that I have printed off the internet for reference later.

Many kombucha kits on the market come with small or dehydrated SCOBYs.  My kit came with a large, thick, healthy SCOBY!  Also, many kits come with non-organic basic black tea.  Dave includes his specifically formulated, certified organic tea blend.  Its so good that I enjoy using it for a nice cup of hot tea!  The kit comes with easy to follow instructions and the GetKombucha.com website has a lot of helpful information.  The only think you need to supply is your favorite 1+ gallon container.  Brewing your own kombucha is easy, so save yourself money by making your own!

Absolutely loved this kombucha. Hadn't try it before in cans and wasn't sure about how it would taste. It is absolutely fantastic. The flavor is amazing. A really complex brew, with each sip a new flavor revealed. Totally recommend this and can't wait to try the other flavors! Ordered and it arrived in no time.

This is my first time making kombucha and its been almost 8 days since I made it. I sampled it this morning and it tastes great.
The scoby was sent quickly, and had a good amount of liquid tea with it. Clearly enough to make this first batch.
Make sure the scoby you buy has the tea. Its needed for the first batch. After that the kombucha you make can be used to make the new batches.

Wonderful black tea with a touch of natural cardamom flavor.  I use an Ekobrew Refillable K-Cup&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Ekobrew-Cup-Refillable-Cup-for-Keurig-K-cup-Brewers-Brown-1-Count/dp/B0051SU0OW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Ekobrew Cup, Refillable Cup for Keurig K-cup Brewers, Brown, 1-Count</a>&nbsp;with my Keurig to brew one tea bag for a tall glass of tea.  I stir in some sugar and pour this tea over ice.  It's lovely cold.  I have not tried it hot yet.  I don't think I'll ever get sick of it, and that's a good thing since there are 100 tea bags!
