Do you want to dive into the fascinating world of Kombucha brewing, but are unsure how to start? Our beginner-friendly Kombucha Set makes fermentation easy and a guaranteed success!
Our Oleni Mason Jar | Wide | 2 Liter is not only an aesthetic highlight in your kitchen, but also the ideal environment for your Kombucha culture. This is where the Kombucha is brewed and fermented, while the small Oleni Mason Jar | Wide | 0.5 L is used to store future SCOBYs (which form automatically with each fermentation) and your starter liquid. This allows you to continuously produce probiotic drinks in your home.
The Kombucha starter, also known as Kombucha mother, is the key to successful fermentation. Our starter set contains 100 ml of this liquid, which is used for immediate Kombucha production. Your SCOBY will form automatically with your first batch. Everything you need to get started is already in our starter liquid: With it, you can ferment real Kombucha from the very first batch; it may often taste a little milder at first. During the first fermentation, a SCOBY forms automatically, which continues to develop with each subsequent batch and supports the fermentation process in the long term.
The included Kombucha guide will lead you step-by-step through the process, so you can enjoy your own Kombucha creation in no time.
Our Grow Lid is versatile and suitable not only for making kefir, but also perfect for Kombucha, ginger bug, sprouts, and many other fermentation projects. Especially for Kombucha fermentation, it ensures optimal conditions: air can circulate, fruit flies stay out (thanks to the cover), and the finished Kombucha can be easily poured out, while the SCOBY and yeast residues remain safely in the jar.
With our Kombucha Starter Set, making Kombucha becomes child's play, and the taste will delight you. Start your own fermentation journey today with our set and satisfy your craving for homemade Kombucha. Perfect for beginners and anyone who wants to explore the world of Kombucha brewing.

Brewing Kombucha – Step-by-Step
Step 1: Kombucha Starter
Boil 200 ml of water and steep 2 tsp of black tea in it for about 5–10 minutes. Then remove the tea and dissolve 70 g of sugar in it. Pour the sweetened tea into your Mason jar and fill it with cold water until there is a total of 1 liter of liquid in the jar. Now let the tea cool completely to room temperature.
Step 2: Starter Fluid
Once the tea has completely cooled, add 100 ml of our Kombucha starter liquid. The living bacterial and yeast cultures it contains are particularly sensitive to heat – so the mixture should never be hot. Stir everything carefully to ensure the starter culture is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Fermentation
Now place the grow lid (including cover) on your Mason jar and let the starter ferment for 7–12 days at room temperature. During fermentation, your first kombucha will develop its typical slightly sour note and living cultures. Store the jar in a place protected from light and out of direct sunlight.
Over time, a thin film may form on the surface – this is a SCOBY, which develops naturally during fermentation. You can save this, along with some kombucha liquid, for further batches and make new kombucha again and again.
The longer your kombucha ferments, the less sweet and more intense its taste will become. As soon as it tastes pleasantly fresh and slightly sour, you can enjoy it or proceed directly with a second fermentation.
