Embrace the art of ancient fermentation with Buchi, Australia’s premier source for home-brewing and the only provider of 100% Certified Organic cultures in the country. A SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast), often called the "Mother," is the living heart of your kombucha. This resilient, pancake-like culture transforms simple sweetened tea into a tangy, effervescent, and probiotic-rich tonic that supports gut health and natural energy levels. Product Details & Benefits Only Certified Organic SCOBY in Australia: Ensure your home brew starts with the purest possible foundation. Our cultures are grown without synthetic chemicals, ensuring a robust and healthy fermentation. Brew Forever: Kombucha is the gift that keeps on giving. With every batch you brew, a "Baby SCOBY" will form on the surface. Properly cared for, this culture allows you to produce delicious kombucha indefinitely. Complete Control: By brewing at home, you control the fermentation time, the sugar levels, and the final flavour profile—from crisp apple to zesty ginger. Living Probiotics: Home-brewed kombucha is raw and unpasteurised, meaning it is packed with live enzymes and beneficial acids that are often lost in commercial, shelf-stable versions. What’s Included Premium Certified Organic SCOBY: A healthy, active "Mother" culture vacuum-sealed for freshness. Starter Liquid: High-strength organic kombucha liquid to ensure the correct pH level for your first batch. Brewing Instructions: Simple, professional guidance to take you from your first steep to your first pour. How to Use If you already have a brewing vessel, organic tea, and sugar, this SCOBY is the final piece of the puzzle. Simply follow the included instructions to combine your sweetened tea with the SCOBY and starter liquid. Within 7–14 days, you’ll have a fresh, sparkling batch of kombucha ready to bottle or flavour. Storage & Care Before Use: Store your sealed SCOBY in a cool, dark place (pantry) if you aren't ready to brew immediately. Ongoing Maintenance: Once brewing, keep your vessel in a well-ventilated spot away from direct sunlight. Never use metal utensils or containers for long-term contact with the SCOBY, as the acidity can react with the metal. Ingredients 100% Certified Organic Kombucha Culture (Bacteria and Yeast strains), Organic Starter Tea. Dietary Information Values: Certified Organic, Raw & Living, Vegan-Friendly, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO. Crafted in: Australia, by the fermentation experts at Buchi. Expert Tip: To ensure your SCOBY stays healthy for years to come, always use high-quality organic black or green tea. Avoid teas with added oils (like Earl Grey) or artificial flavourings, as these can weaken the "Mother" over time. If you need to take a break from brewing, simply leave your SCOBY in a small amount of tea—it will create a "SCOBY Hotel" and wait patiently for your next batch!
