Mine are brewed with organic green and black tea, white sugar, and distilled water in large Pyrex bowls. These scobies are very large and weigh in excess of 14oz each. You can easily make two batches by splitting the one SCOBY. They have never made contact with anything other then Pyrex glass.
I use Distilled water because it is the only pure water available. Do Not use any other water source as these contaminants can cause serious illness.
I have to ship them out Priority($9.95), double bagged with starter tea(kombucha tea not feeding solution). I do not have tea to include for the feeding solution but I do recommend about any green and black tea that is not flavored or decaffinated. Organic is good but there are differing opinions on this as some suspect mold with organic teas. Though I have not experianced this myself, as I use organic tea.
I will be including information and instructions with each baby.
I recommend purchasing 2 glass pyrex bowls(4qrt):

and one glass pitcher:

with NO plastic or metal(like tea jars) for storing your Kombucha after you have brewed it. You will need cotton cloth kitchen towels(the thin kind) for the top and electrical tape if you can not find rubberbands large enough to keep the towels on the bowls. Also make sure you have a large area to put the bowls and keep them in a nice warm area(NOT by an air conditioner or by food).
Do not use any other bowls or jars, only pyrex.
Kombucha is perfect to help you become regular and I have noticed more energy. I can not list any certain health aspects(as none have been proven and it is against the FDA to do so) of the brew other then I feel great when I drink it and sluggish when I do not. So even though the taste doesn't thrill my family the effects of it do:) My two year old likes to drink it also:)
I have to charge a little more then the average because of the listing fees, selling fees, and Paypal fees. Sorry but the $5.00 price is for the supplies, information and fees not for profit. I hope you understand.
I want these guys to go to a good home and if you do choose to purchase you will be happy you decided to.
My original starter culture came from www.laurelfarms.com which are FDA approved.
Make sure to purchase only from reputable people. If you see some one using a pickle jar or anything that may not be Pyrex please be aware that the containers 'could' have such things in it like lead and never use plastic! As plastic will always degrade and leach harmful chemicals(yes it is doing it to the prepackaged food that was or will be in that vary plastic). We are firm believers of NO PLASTIC..lol. The Kombucha, when stored in any plastic for any time, will have these contaminants in it as well.
