The dedication to sourcing traditional tea for making kombucha is what sets this SCOBY starter pack apart. But just to be clear, this pack contains a grow your own SCOBY starter and not a fully formed one, which means more time and work is needed before you'll be sampling the fruits of your labour.

This popularity can be put down to their many years of doing what they love, as well as using the highest quality tea and ingredients to grow their SCOBY. The only hitch is you will need to source the rest of the kit which, if just starting out, may not be your cup of tea. 

As their name suggests, Kefirko specialises in the fermented milk drink 'kefir'. This prior expertise means they know a thing or two about the fermentation process used in making kombucha too.

Inside the kit is a small SCOBY, muslin cloth, thermometer strip, how-to guide and a jar. How ever, the one litre size means that this kit is really only for first-time growers who want to see if they've got what it takes, before scaling up to something more substantial. 

Kombucha Kamp's is the cheapest kombucha starter kit found online that actually works! You can forget about fancy packaging or crafty online branding techniques, instead, they've chosen to focus on quality ingredients and that is it. 

The kit includes one organic SCOBY (not certified) and one cup of strong starter liquid, which are the two key ingredients that you can't easily conjure up at home. Sure, this means you'll need to do some scouting around for the other essentials, but for the price, who's arguing?

Unfortunately, Brew Your Bucha haven't included the SCOBY's size, so it may not be suitable for continuous brewing. You should also be aware that this kit does not come with the brew jar and cloth featured in the product images.
