Good Kombucha

Peter, the gentleman who sent us the Kombucha SCOBY/Mother last week, sent us a large sample of his Kombucha.  After hearing that we had never tasted Kombucha, he wanted us to taste “good” Kombucha Tea before attempting to make our own.  Well… a bottle of the stuff arrived this morning.

Homemade Kombucha Tea

This bottle of Kombucha Tea was sent sent to us to try.

A few minutes after it’s arrival, I needed to try it.  Most folks say that chilled Kombucha tastes best, but I couldn’t wait.  I think Carol could have though.  After opening the bottle I inhaled.  The lightly carbonated tea smelled like a very mild apple-cider vinegar or a nice hard cider.  In a glass glass, I poured a few ounces… then tasted it.  It was quite good.  As I had read: “good Kombucha Tea should taste like a combination of apple-cider and champagne”… and it did.  Carol thought it had too many bubbles… the same reason she doesn’t care for champagne.

I put the cap back on and tucked the bottle in the fridge.  I can only imagine how good it will be when chilled.

Peter… you brew a VERY nice tasting Kombucha Tea.
