Gift Ideas

Our most popular gifts are our Original Kombucha Brewing Kit (as seen on Shark Tank) and our Deluxe Kombucha Kit.

Both of these gifts are perfect for beginners or first-time kombucha brewers, and contain all organic ingredients.

The Deluxe Kit contains everything in the entire Original Kit plus 6 swing-top bottles, a bottle cleaning brush and a stainless steel funnel.

If the person receiving this gift does not already have thick-walled glass bottles that can handle the pressure during carbonation (or if you are unsure if they do) then this is usually the better option.

These swing-top bottles can be purchased later, however, they are pretty expensive to ship standalone and often cost about $10-$15 just for shipping.

Are bottles required? Absolutely not! Kombucha can be enjoyed unflavored, immediately after the 1st fermentation and many people prefer this taste.

Yes, the SCOBY, and starter liquid are made up of live yeasts and good bacteria, similar in concept to a sourdough bread starter.

Each kit contains a live SCOBY with starter liquid and which we generally recommend is that the kit is used within 6 months of purchase.

We guarantee that our SCOBY and starter liquid pouches will brew a successful batch of kombucha, and if something goes wrong, we’ will send a free replacement.

Yes, making kombucha at home is fun and easy. Our kits include step-by-step instructions.

Each kit contains enough tea and sugar to make 1 gallon of kombucha. We highly recommend adding a Tea & Sugar Rebrew Bundle which makes an additional 5 gallons or about 24-30 bottles.

This means when the person receiving the gift finishes their first batch, they can immediately start their next batch.

During the fermentation, it’s important to keep the brew between 68º and 86ºF, with mid-70s being ideal. If your gift recipient keeps the house cooler or will keep the brew in a cooler area, then consider one of these following options.

Our Heating Wrap which wraps around the jar and helps to maintain the proper brewing temperature, or our Cold Weather Brewing Bundle, which includes the Heating Wrap along with additional tea and sugar used in future batches.

If your gift recipient has brewed kombucha before and made several recipes, let's consider them an expert.

The worst thing is picking out a gift that they won't use or will perceive as low quality.

Take a look at the other topics below to help you find the perfect gift.

If they are not actively brewing and you don't see a jar of SCOBYs laying around the house, then they will need 1x SCOBY Kombucha Culture to start brewing again.

Second they will also need tea and sugar. We recommend our Rebrew Bundle which contains the finest, gourmet loose leaf tea and organic cane sugar, which will make the kombucha they create taste amazing.

In case you were wondering, what would be the wrong thing to do? Go to the grocery store and get some tea bags and white sugar.

Brewing a new flavor can be fun and exciting.

If you already have enough tea, then also enhance the flavor with our Syrup Variety Gift Pack.

1. If the gift recipient is actively making kombucha (like they made kombucha last week) they probably have a SCOBY. You can't go wrong with our Tea & Sugar Rebrew Bundle or Syrup Variety Gift Pack.

2. If they are NOT actively making kombucha. At a minimum they will need 1x SCOBY Kombucha Culture, Tea & Sugar to get started again. Then consider our Syrup Variety Gift Pack.

3. If you are unsure, but know they love making kombucha, you won't go wrong with our small batch Syrup Variety Gift Pack.

If Dad loves to brew beer at home and Dad loves kombucha, then Dad will love our Deluxe Kombucha Kit.

Note that the bottles included are different than those typically used for beer. Beer bottles will explode if used!

They are specifically for kombucha because they handle the pressure better during carbonation.

My Mom grew up on a farm, loves to garden (and although Dad was the cook in the family), she is the one that loves to make kombucha. Our Deluxe Kombucha Kit is a good place to start.

Mom will also love our cute Brew Jar Covers. My Mom has a different one for each brew jar.

The most popular gift notes we see are for the holidays, birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day and weddings.

It depends on how long you brew for; a longer brewing time will render less sugar in the final product. An average 14-day brew will yield just 3 to 6 grams of sugar per 8 oz of plain kombucha.

Not to worry! Kombucha cultures can be flash frozen during transit and will bounce right back once it has thawed. Simply leave the culture pouch on your kitchen counter for a day or two and allow it to fully warm back up to room temperature. Once it's at room temp, you can go ahead and brew with it :)

We recommend using filtered water, spring water, or purified water from reverse osmosis. You can use water from the tap if you run it through a Brita type filter, or if you have a built-in filter in your fridge that works too!

No, simply rinse with hot water and distilled white vinegar if you have it. You can use a little soap, but not antibacterial soap. Always rinse well before brewing or bottling.

Almost everything we sell is Certified USDA Organic with exception to our small batch Syrups.

It's ok to have other fermentations going on in the same room so long as you don't mind non-kombucha yeasts possibly getting in your brew. The main concern is if anything goes awry with your other fermentations, it could cause problems with your kombucha. Small risk, but it's there. If you have enough space, it's not a bad idea to keep fermentations separate from one another.
