We developed our unique Kombucha Kefir Hybrid after reading research investigating the biological activities of kombucha and milk kefir, including potential cancer-fighting activity in experimental settings.
Research informing our approach that lactic acid bacteria isolated from milk kefir could improve glucuronic acid production and enhance kombucha’s antibacterial, antioxidant, and other biological activities. We also took an interest in research exploring potential hepatoprotective—or liver-protective—effects.
These findings inspired our culture development and our continuing interest in the relationship between ingredients, microorganisms, and fermentation.

In our own brewing experiments and independent testing, we observed higher glucuronic acid levels with Silver Needle White Tea than with the other teas we tested.

Choose the Kit That Fits Your Household
The best starter kit is the one that suits how you actually want to brew.
For a basic batch, choose a live culture and sufficient starter tea for the recipe and batch size. If you plan to brew continuously, bottle regularly, or supply a household that drinks kombucha every day, consider a larger setup with equipment that keeps your batches moving.
Already have equipment? Start with the culture and add only the supplies you need.
