MAKE IT YOUR OWN

What will you brew first?

One SCOBY. A world of flavour. Explore fruits, florals and herbs to find your next favourite.

Mango and guava chilli kombucha inspiration

JUICY · SUNNY · A LITTLE SPICY

Fruits

Mango sunshine. Guava chilli. Or a ruby-red mix of blueberries and raspberries.

Flavour notes +

Try ripe mango for tropical sweetness, pink guava with a little chilli for a familiar kick, or berries for a tart twist. Start with one flavour combination at a time.

Rose, lavender and butterfly pea kombucha inspiration

FRAGRANT · DELICATE · BEAUTIFUL

Florals

Rose, lavender or butterfly pea. Turn your next glass into something a little special.

Flavour notes +

Choose culinary, food-grade flowers. Rose brings a gentle fragrance; lavender is best used sparingly. Butterfly pea can give acidic kombucha a purple-pink hue.

FRESH · ZINGY · FULL OF CHARACTER

Herbs & spice

Fresh mint and ginger. Or explore earthy turmeric, fragrant tulsi and tangy amla.

Flavour notes +

Mint makes a lovely fresh serving garnish. Ginger brings warmth and zing. Try stronger flavours such as turmeric and tulsi in small amounts first.

Start with a finished first ferment.

Save your SCOBY and plain starter before flavouring. For bottled second fermentation, follow a tested recipe and use pressure-rated bottles. Chill thoroughly before opening. These are flavour ideas; the recipes below are ready to follow.

GET TO KNOW YOUR CULTURE

A SCOBY is
just the beginning.

SCOBY stands for “symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.” Together with mature starter liquid, it ferments sweetened tea into kombucha.

The familiar disc is the cellulose layer, often called the pellicle. The starter liquid matters too: keep both when you begin your brew.

A living fermentation

Tea, sugar and a mixed culture, working together over time.

More than one batch

Keep your culture properly and reserve mature starter to brew again.

Explore the science of live cultures ↗

KOMBUCHA, GUT HEALTH & THE SCIENCE

A living food.
A closer look.

Living cultures

Unpasteurised kombucha can contain live bacteria and yeasts. The mix varies by brew.

Goodness from tea

Tea provides polyphenols. Fermentation adds organic acids and its distinctive tang.

Digestive-health research

A small human trial reported improvements in some digestive symptoms. Research is still developing.

What did the study actually find? +

In a 10-week trial, 59 adults with excess body weight followed an energy-restricted diet; 30 also drank green-tea kombucha. The kombucha group reported fewer symptoms related to digestive motility, but there was no significant improvement in gut microbiota or intestinal permeability compared with the control group. This was not a trial of Zoh’s culture.

A FEW REASSURING ANSWERS

“Is this normal?”
You’re not the only one asking.

My SCOBY has sunk. Is that normal?

It can float, sink or sit sideways. Position alone doesn’t tell you whether the culture is healthy. Check the rest of the brew using your guide.

What are those brown strands?

Brown yeast strands and sediment can be part of normal fermentation. If you are unsure about any growth, send a clear photo before tasting.

It tastes too sweet or too sour.

Time and temperature change the flavour. A sweet brew may still be fermenting; a very sour one may have fermented longer than you wanted. Review your recipe and conditions with our troubleshooting guide.

Why isn’t my kombucha fizzy?

A cloth-covered first ferment may have very little fizz. Carbonation depends on a separate bottling stage. Follow the bottling guide and use pressure-rated bottles; don’t add extra sugar or leave bottles longer without guidance.

I think I can see mould.

Stop and don’t taste it. Dry, fuzzy surface growth needs attention. Don’t scrape it off and continue brewing. Consult the guide and send us a photo; a mouldy batch and its culture should be discarded.

FROM OTHER HOME BREWERS

Their kitchens.
Their kombucha stories.

Elsa Ann N.

I was apprehensive at first but turned out well!the team was there to support me and make me confident that I was doing everything right!this is my second batch.

Priyanka Reddy

Our family's new love for kombucha has made Sunday brunches a lot better. Even though we had never fermented anything before, we had everything we needed in the Zoh kit. My wife liked how the red cloth cap looked, and the kids liked giving the SCOBY funny names. They called it Boochie, and when it grew, they said Boochie had a baby! We love our kombucha with grape flavour and ive been gifting it to all our family frensz with kids.

Farhan Qureshi

Starter SCOBY by Zoh turned my kitchen into a mini-brewery!

Alok Varma

I bought the Zoh Probiotics Kombucha Kit so that my kids could learn about fermentation and healthy eating in a fun way. I had no idea that they would start making their own kombucha and even plan their own flavour combinations. The directions were so simple that my 12-year-old read them once and took over. The strawberry-mint drink he made was a big hit. A sure-fire winner for family time.

Neeta Marathe

Kabuja SCOOBY by Zoh Probiotics really lives up to the hype. Improved my sleep quality for sure. But some added flavor profiles in the kit would make it perfect.

Swati Rathi

Excellent starter kit.

Asha Sahu

I never thought the day would come when my kids would rather drink kombucha than soda. We mix flavours every Saturday as a family activity, and they can't wait to try the next batch. One time, they even tried to make a rainbow kombucha by layering different flavours in one bottle. It looked strange, but it tasted great! With the two bottles in the kit, it's easy to try out new things. Zoh is Highly recommended

Simran Oberoi

Grabbed the Rs. 1650 kit, worth every rupee.

Neelima Kulkarni

Even after spending Rs. 2000 on the Zohs kit, I had a ton of questions about secondary fermentation. Their customer service was beyond helpful and sent me a step-by-step guide. Can't wait to try mixing it with kala khatta and shikanji!

Divya Ahuja

It was my first venture into brewing, and I was a bit nervous. However, the Zoh Probiotics Kombucha Kit took away all the guesswork. For someone invested in vegan nutrition, it was great to hear that this brand is recommended by dieticians and nutritionists. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the black tea; it yields kombucha with such a smooth flavor profile. The customer service, especially Rupali, was fantastic at guiding me through my queries.

Tarun Kapoor

I am amazed at how easy it was to start my kombucha journey with Zoh's kit. The instruction sheet is fool-proof, and I didn’t even need a replacement despite my clumsy moments. I got into kombucha for the health benefits, and it delivers; it’s an excellent vegan source of essential nutrients. Their packaging is considerate, and they even have a Whatsapp customer service that was incredibly helpful.

Vandana Chauhan

I've been vegan for five years and have always missed the probiotic benefits of yogurt. This kit has been a game-changer! Not only do I get to enjoy a beverage rich in probiotics, but I also get to engage in a fun, DIY project. And the red and lace cloth cap is not just functional but also adds aesthetic value to my kitchen. The instruction sheet is a godsend, making the whole process easy as pie.

Aditya Thakur

As a vegan athlete, I am thrilled with the Zoh Probiotics Kombucha Kit. It’s added a new dimension to my post-workout routine. Kombucha is rich in essential amino acids, enzymes, and organic acids, which help in nutrient absorption and muscle recovery. The customer service is top-notch, with experts like Prerna available for any troubleshooting or advice. Easy replacement and fantastic packaging make the experience even better.

Ajeet Malik

I gotta say, getting into this whole kombucha thing was a bit intimidating, but Zoh Probiotics Kombucha SCOBY made it a breeze! My SCOBY arrived healthy as can be, and I was so excited to brew my first batch. The included starter tea gave it a kickstart, and soon enough, my kitchen was filled with the lovely aroma of fermenting goodness. What surprised me most was how much fun it was to watch my SCOBY grow; it's like having a living, breathing pet on my kitchen counter! Naming it was a blast – say hello to "Bubbles." The red cap and adoption certificate were cute touches that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Now I'm hooked, brewing batch after batch of delicious kombucha. Thanks, Zoh, for making this journey so delightful!

Naveen Kumar

If you're new to the world of Kumbucha like me this SCOBY from Zoh Probiotics is your go-to option. My Delhi kitchen is not the most conducive environment for fermentation yet this SCOBY did wonders. Survived the heat and gave me a tasty and rich kumbucha. Ordering was easy and fast delivery ensured that I could start brewing right away. For first timers in India I highly recommend this.

Rekha Sen

I adore this kit! I'm new to the vegan lifestyle and was worried about how I'd get all my nutrients. The Zoh Probiotics Kombucha Kit has been a revelation! It's like drinking a vegan multivitamin but in a much more enjoyable form. What I found endearing was that this brand is recommended by professionals across various fields, from chefs to dieticians, which really puts my mind at ease. The well-designed packaging and thoughtful inclusion of two bottles for fermentation make it all the more user-friendly. Love it!

Aman Yadav

The considerate packing and promise to fix any problems are excellent. to make you feel valued as a customer. All brewing instructions and secondary fermentation techniques are provided on the instruction sheet. I purchased the scoby from a kit and utilised it for the first time. It never seemed to make my tea nicely tart, even after two weeks. This Zoh scoby was something I purchased in the hopes of making a stronger beverage. I wasn't disappointed with the results. After two weeks, I received the delicious, tangy Kombucha that I loved. Very happy!

Ajay Bhat

Being vegan and health-conscious, I've always been curious about the world of fermentation. With Zoh’s kit, it was a breeze to get started. The easy-to-follow instruction sheet was a lifesaver for a newbie like me. I've heard horror stories about competitor brands, but Zoh Probiotics stands in a league of its own. Plus, the black tea provided has turned out some truly delicious kombucha.

Fatima Ali

Received a healthy scoby with starter fluid. I followed the instructions and had my 1st brew ready faster than expected. It fermented well, even in our cool kitchen, and started growing a 2nd scoby the first time. I'm on my third brew. Yay!!

Neha Saxena

This kit is a vegan's dream. I was searching for a way to enhance my plant-based diet, and kombucha has proven to be the missing piece of the puzzle. It’s packed with natural probiotics, and I've felt a marked improvement in my digestion. Even better, customer service was excellent. I had a minor hiccup, and Harsh from their team was just a Whatsapp message away. The red cloth cap adds a dash of charm to my kitchen!

Rekha Pandey

Four stars for Kabuja SCOOBY by Zoh Probiotics. Helped me a lot with my Crohn's symptoms, but I wish the kit came with more detailed instructions.

Kishan Aggarwal

Zoh's SCOBY is a reliable choice. The kit was well-packaged, and my SCOBY, "Scooby, was strong from the get-go. The red cap adds a nice flair, and the instructions are straightforward. My kombucha consistently turns out tasty, and the WhatsApp support team was helpful when I had questions.

Aman Shukla

Okay, so here's the scoop – Zoh's Kombucha SCOBY is the real deal. It showed up looking all healthy, and I was like, "Let's do this!" The red cap was cute, and I named my SCOBY "Bob." The instructions were pretty straightforward, and with the starter tea, I was in business. It felt like a science experiment in my kitchen, but a tasty one! My friends loved the kombucha, and I felt like a pro. So, if you're up for a DIY adventure, give Zoh a try. You won't be disappointed!

Anup Joshi

Make some tea, add some sugar, and let it sit for a week. It has a decent flavour. With this current batch I'm brewing, I'm going to attempt to perform a second fermentation, but I'm a little concerned about explosions in the kitchen ;)

Vipin Pasi

Zoh's kit had all I needed for my home brews.

Kusum Gupta

The Zohs SCOBY kit is nearly perfect. Bought it for Rs. 999, and it's way more cost-effective than Bombucha. Just wish the kit included pH test strips.

Pooja Verma

Bought the kit for Rs. 1650, and within days, my SCOBY developed mold. Definitely not a good start to my home brewing journey.

Mahesh Pillai

Our Sundays are now Kombucha Sundays, all because of the Zoh Probiotics Kombucha Kit. The kids couldnt believe that a SCOBY, which looks so strange, could make something so tasty. Even my picky eater couldn't get enough of the mango flavour.

Geeta Yadav

Look at this gorgeous gorgeous rose Kombucha. I made them with roses grown in my house. Better than rose wine. A plant mom turned kombucha mom, that’s me! I loved how the Zoh Probiotics kit blended into my boho kitchen vibe. Named my SCOBY ‘Bucha Billie’ after Billie Eilish. The black tea they provide adds such a smooth undertone. It’s like a comforting song for your gut. Didn't even have to bother customer service, the guide was my ‘How-To’ Bible.

Sanjay Singh

I'm a coffee person who got curious about kombucha. Ordered the Zoh Probiotics Kit, half-expecting a science experiment gone wrong. Boy, was I wrong! The red lacy cloth that came with it is so Instagrammable. I've named my SCOBY ‘FizziWig,’ and it’s behaving well. The customer service was super chill when I had a momentary panic about bubbles. Thanks, Harsh!

Kavita Joshi

What an amazing product! The Zoh Probiotics Kombucha Kit not only met but exceeded my expectations. I loved the robust starter tea that made my SCOBY flourish. I appreciated the two bottles designed for fermentation—they are a perfect fit. Also, the Whatsapp customer service is excellent; big shoutout to Harsh for helping me through my first batch. I’ve successfully brewed several times now, and the quality has been consistent. I'll never go back to store-bought kombucha!

Anil Verma

I'm a fan of the Zoh Probiotics Kombucha SCOBY and kit. The SCOBY arrived in excellent health, and I even received an adorable adoption certificate for it! I named mine Teatooo, and it's thriving. Customer service is on point—thanks, Rupali, for the quick responses. The brewing guide was easy to understand, and the final product tastes amazing. Don't hesitate to choose Zoh!

Lakshmi Menon

This was my first foray into kombucha brewing, and the experience with Zoh Probiotics has been excellent. The kit was complete with everything needed, including two perfectly sized bottles for fermentation. Customer service was helpful; Prerna answered my queries quickly on Whatsapp. The product also comes highly recommended by Payal from Kobo Fermentary, a name I trust. Extremely satisfied!

Suresh Nair

Check out my ferments. I can't express how thrilled I am with my Zoh Probiotics Kombucha Kit. The detailed instruction sheet made the brewing process straightforward, and the strong starter tea helped my SCOBY grow rapidly. My kombucha tastes phenomenal, thanks to the black tea blend. I had a minor hiccup, but Shreya from customer service sorted it out in no time. Oh, and the adoption certificate for the SCOBY is a quirky delight. Highly recommend!

Aarti Patel

I was hesitant about brewing my own kombucha, but Zoh Probiotics made it a breeze. The kit arrived well-packaged and included a robust starter tea that got my 3L batch going smoothly. I've successfully brewed multiple batches, and the black tea they provided has been exceptional. The customer service, led by Harsh, was top-notch, answering all my questions promptly via Whatsapp. With endorsements from dieticians and chefs, you know you're getting a quality product. The adorable red, lacy cloth cap was a cute touch. Highly recommend this kit for any kombucha enthusiasts!

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING

Your kombucha SCOBY
questions, answered.

From choosing your starter to caring for your next batch.

Ask us a question ↗

Which should I buy: a SCOBY or the brewing kit?

Choose the SCOBY and starter liquid if you already have suitable brewing equipment. Choose the kit if you want the culture together with a 3 L glass jar, bottles, tea, sugar and brewing tools. The contents comparison above shows what each includes.

Is the SCOBY supplied live or dehydrated?

Zoh supplies a live kombucha SCOBY with mature starter liquid. Follow the preparation and storage instructions supplied with your order.

How long does kombucha take to ferment?

Timing depends on temperature, batch size and brewing conditions. Follow your supplied guide rather than a fixed calendar: warm rooms can speed up fermentation, while cooler rooms slow it down.

Can I reuse the SCOBY?

Yes. With proper care, an established culture can be used for repeated batches. Save mature kombucha as starter liquid and keep the SCOBY with it between brews. You will need fresh tea, sugar and water for subsequent batches.

Does the 3 L jar make 3 litres of finished kombucha?

The 3 L measurement is the jar capacity. Working volume and finished yield depend on the recipe, headspace and starter liquid reserved for the next batch. Use the quantities in your supplied guide.

Can I brew kombucha in hot Indian weather?

Yes, but temperature changes the pace of fermentation. Follow the temperature guidance supplied with your culture, keep the jar out of direct sunlight and monitor the brew more frequently in warmer conditions.

What if my first batch does not turn out well?

Email support@zohprobiotics.com with your order number, preparation details and a batch photo. We will help troubleshoot and replace the culture free if we identify a product fault. Our returns and replacement policy explains the terms.

Read our replacement policy ↗

Where do you deliver?

The brewing kit is available for delivery within India only. Cultures ship free within India. For international culture orders, destination availability, shipping charges and any applicable import requirements should be checked before ordering.

How do I know whether my culture looks normal?

Yeast strands, sediment and a new surface layer can occur during fermentation. If you suspect mould or unusual growth, do not taste the brew. Consult the troubleshooting guide and contact us with a photo before continuing.
