Hello! I'm new to the site and to the world of kombucha. I have ordered my scoby, read a little bit on different forums, and am working on getting my supplies together.
I have purchased whole leaf organic english breakfast tea (100% assam special tippy golden flowery orange pekoe). I'm not sure what all of that wordage means... I spent 20 minutes on the tea aisle trying to decide which kind of tea was the best. Is this a good tea to start with?
So far for supplies I have a gallon glass jar, wooden spoons, and various GT kombucha bottles. I am debating about whether or not to buy cheese cloth as I have read a paper towel or other cloth can also be used. Thoughts? Are there any "must haves" I am leaving out?
What is the best way to sample the tea?
How long is the average time I should let the tea ferment and how long on the counter for carbonating?
Any suggestions for a newbie would be appreciated! Thanks!
