What is our Kombucha Hybrid Mushroom?

Our Kombucha Kefir Hybrid Mushroom Culture combines a traditional kombucha culture with bacteria sourced from milk kefir. Each large, creamy, smooth SCOBY measures approximately 6 inches across and ¼ inch thick.

We developed this hybrid out of an interest in how different cultures and teas influence kombucha fermentation. Our culture is grown with organic sugar and Silver Needle White Tea.

Why combine kombucha and kefir cultures?

Kombucha and milk kefir contain different communities of microorganisms. Researchers have studied whether adding selected lactic acid bacteria from kefir can change kombucha’s fermentation profile, including its organic acids and activity in laboratory tests.

These findings are an area of research, rather than evidence that drinking this product prevents or treats cancer, protects the liver, or provides a particular medical benefit. Results from selected laboratory cultures also do not establish the effects of our finished product.

Why Silver Needle White Tea?

We chose Silver Needle White Tea for its delicate character and the flavor it brings to our kombucha. Tea selection, brewing temperature, and fermentation time all influence the finished brew, giving you room to explore your preferences as you gain experience.

Brew with confidence

Follow the included Kombucha 3.0 Brewing Guide for starter-tea proportions, sanitation, temperature, and fermentation instructions. Use the recommended starter tea with every batch, and contact us if you need help.

With a little care and a regular supply of tea and sugar, your culture can become the beginning of a lasting home-brewing tradition.
