What is a Kombucha SCOBY? A kombucha SCOBY (also known by some as the kombucha mother or mushroom) is used in the process of brewing kombucha tea.

SCOBY is an acronym standing for symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast. Kombucha is created by fermenting tea with sugar and the SCOBY. After enough time, you have delicious kombucha tea to enjoy. The longer you leave the kombucha unrefrigerated, the more it can ferment and change in flavour, which you can experiment with to find what suits your tastes. Placing your kombucha in the fridge puts it in a dormant state, where the cold will halt or slow the fermentation process. This beverage also naturally becomes effervescent (fizzy) over time due to the fermentation process. You can reduce and slow the fizziness and fermentation by placing your brew in the fridge. Brewing your own booch can give you a living brew with a natural fizz, which is important for many people given that some brands of kombucha on the market aren’t properly fermented; some brands resort to using additives to create a fizzy sensation or kombucha-like taste.
