I have done a little research on what type of tea works best with kombucha, and I have found that a lot of people say blacks and green teas. That is a huge spectrum of tea, and comes with a lot of varieties and flavors.
My question is how much does the tea play a role in the Kombucha? Can I get a low grade oolong and have the same results as a ancient mandarin Pu-erh?
Or better yet, can I use my favorite tea, Yerba Mate, even though its not really a tea(not made from a tea leaf)? I know that Yerba Mate has much more nutrients than normal tea, so I would think that it would work...
