The mother culture of Aquela Kombucha to help you begin your journey into homemade kombucha fermentation. It comes with a recipe guide detailing the step-by-step process for the 1st and 2nd fermentation, along with our best tips.
One 25cl unit of Aquele Scoby yields 1.25L of kombucha.
**Not for drinking** Our liquid-state SCOBY is a living culture full of bacteria and yeasts - essentially kombucha with a long fermentation time. It’s an intense, strong, vinegary liquid, full of life and the microorganisms needed to transform sweetened tea into kombucha. The classic SCOBY (the cellulose disk) will form as fermentation develops in a new batch, as it is a natural by-product of the process.

Kombucha is alive, containing bacteria and yeast that are sensitive to room temperature, as it is unpasteurized. For this reason, even our mother culture should be refrigerated.

AQUELA KOMBUCHA is fermented tea, made from a blend of green and black tea with sugar. The symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast - better known as S.C.O.B.Y. (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) - consumes almost all of the sugar and caffeine, transforming the tea into a lightly fizzy elixir packed with probiotics, organic acids, and enzymes beneficial to gut health. Using high-quality, 100% organic ingredients, the fermentation follows its natural course, and we honour its ancient tradition.
Kombucha consumption is personal. The rule is to listen to your body and enjoy Aquela Kombucha in a way that nourishes and respects it. Kombucha is not a medicine, but rather an excellent complement to a balanced and healthy diet. We recommend regular consumption rather than large quantities.
It can be enjoyed on an empty stomach, between meals, or during meals. It’s a healthy alternative to soft drinks and processed beverages. You can add it to smoothies, cocktails… the possibilities are endless!
Aquela Kombucha is alive and contains bacteria and yeasts that are sensitive to room temperature, as it is not pasteurised. For this reason, it should be kept refrigerated - and besides, it always tastes better chilled!
Sugar is the fuel for fermentation and is almost entirely consumed during the process, leaving only a very small amount in the final product - approximately 2.6 g per 100 ml.
The theine found in the green and black tea used in Aquela Kombucha is essential, as it feeds the fermentation process just like the sugar does. Its final concentration is insignificant - it won’t keep you up at night!
Aquela Kombucha contains no gluten, no lactose, and does not use any common allergens in its production. It is made only with tea infusion, sugar (consumed during fermentation), SCOBY, and organic ingredients.
However, if you have a specific allergy to any of the ingredients used in a particular flavour (such as spices, fruits, or herbs), we recommend checking the full ingredient list.
Due to the natural fermentation process, kombucha contains a very low alcohol content and is considered a non-alcoholic beverage. However, its consumption is not recommended for individuals under 18, pregnant women, or breastfeeding mothers. In case of doubt or other conditions not listed, please consult your doctor.
