Flavor:Sencha This loose leaf tea blend is specially crafted for kombucha home brewing. Our Sencha Kombucha Tea Blend combines organic Japanese Sencha tea with organic Yerba Mate. Using only first and second flush harvests from farms in southern Japan, this Sencha has a delightful, grassy aroma and clean finish. It pairs perfectly with Yerba Mate, a traditional plant of South America well loved for its health and energy-boosting properties. Together, they make an unbeatable energizing kombucha sure to elevate both mind and body. Behind every refreshing sip of kombucha is an exceptional tea. At The Kombucha Shop, we obsess over the details. Using only organic, fair-trade ingredients, we craft our custom tea blends to promote the healthy balance of yeast and bacteria that helps you produce a delicious brew - every time. Directions: Use 3 TBSP of this tea blend to make 1 gallon of kombucha. Bring water to a boil and turn off. Add tea and steep for 5 - 7 minutes. Remove tea and proceed with standard kombucha brewing instructions. Tea blends come in bag sized to brew enough for 10 gallons of kombucha PLEASE NOTE: We recommend at least a basic knowledge of and/or experience with kombucha brewing when using flavored tea blends such as this. Additionally, because each blend will infuse a distinct flavor into your culture and the kombucha brew, we recommend dedicating one kombucha culture and cup of starter liquid solely to this blend. We do not recommend transferring cultures and starter liquid back and forth amongst different flavored blends. The first brew with this blend may be slightly slower to ferment than normal and the culture may look atypical. After the first brew, your culture will adapt to the new tea blend and ferment at its usual pace. Ingredients: Organic Sencha Green Tea, Organic Yerba Mate

Very nice flavored tea for home brew
I'm new to brewing kombucha. I only just got the kombucha shop kit and am on my third batch (to be bottled today). I started by buying kombucha on tap at a local grocery store, and a couple of bottled brands. I've had mostly really good kombucha, but I occasionally run into one that has a strange hops taste that I really don't like. Not sure what it is, but this blend of tea does not have it and I really like it. The resulting brew from this blend is very smooth and well balanced. Easy to drink without any flavoring or secondary fermentation, and it also has blended well with strawberries, pineapple and mango (so far). I'm glad I started out my brewing with such a tasty blend of tea. Highly recommended.

My husband loves the flavor of this tea for kombucha ...
My husband loves the flavor of this tea for kombucha. No added flavor needed, but we have made a couple flavored during second fermentation and they were yummy too.

Ideal blend for home brewing
Perfect tea blend for everyday brewing! I really love how it's mild enough to take on complimentary fruit flavors in the second fermentation but also strong enough to have a distinctly strong tea flavor as well. It's my go-to everyday tea blend for homebrewing.

The best kombucha tea blend ever!
This makes the best kombucha brew I've ever had! It's so balanced and flavorful on its own that it doesn't need any add-ins.

Perfect Kombucha every time!
This blend makes perfect Kombucha and the taste is great. I left some in a small jar and I was astonished when it made its' own scoby in a few days without a mother. Just wish we could bring the price down. We would be willing to purchase in larger amounts if the price were less. Overall this is a great blend for Kombucha and I feel a great blend for fermentation.

Love Kombucha Shop!
Brewing your own Kombucha is soooo much cheaper and tastes delicious. Plus you get to flavor it after the initial fermentation any way you want. I highly recommend the Kombucha shop. I purchased their deluxe kit before buying this tea for subsequent batches. I'm on my third batch and loving every one!

A great premium blend
This tea is wonderful for brewing kombucha. It’s s great blend and turns out a great product. I’ve tried less expensive brands but come back to this one because it’s so good. And my scoby loves it.

Not my favorite mint taste.
I really like most brewed mint teas, but this is a little funky and sharp. It also takes more weird when fermented as kombucha. I much prefer adding fresh mint leaves to the bottles in the second ferment of kombucha. Note, I really like the plain kombucha tea from this vendor. It's quite good by itself or as kombucha.
