I love kombucha. So grateful I just found this forum! So about 8 months ago I made two gallons of tea and they just sat there. About four days ago, I checked them. Both had awesome scobies but one was moldy and one was good. I discarded the bad one without any possible contamination. Took out the layers out of the good one and made six different batches of tea. Assam, Keemun, Yerba Mate, Gunpowder, Assam/Chunmee, and Chunmee
I will probably start tasting tomorrow. Do I need to use plastic spoons and let them air dry before I use them? Should I just get like several spoons? Do you have any favorite flavoring go-tos for any of these? Any other combinations or suggestions I could try with these teas? Any of these you would not leave for a second fermentation and just drink as is?
Here are my objectives: To learn to appreciate the unadulterated flavors of these teas. To compare their rates of progression. To experiment with second fermentation. I sell fresh squeezed juice to a small, limited market. I want to test Kombucha with my customers. . Make kombucha for my home. We all love it and spend beaucoup money at the store on it! I have read a bit on the subject, but the actual doing is a bit different for me. I am used to instant results. My teas look so lovely. I do not want to mess this up. Sorry for the super long post! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
