This way it will cool down faster too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Firstly, you should use real tea leaves that are derived from a tea plant named <em>Camellia\u00a0<\/em><i>synesis<\/i>. Leaves and buds from this plant are used to produce black, green, oolong and white tea. Those tea leaves are full of beneficial components that are necessary for SCOBY growth and successful fermentation.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, tea leaves should be from organic production. Regular tea can be covered with harmful chemicals and pesticides, which would be released in hot water when preparing tea for kombucha. This can inhibit the growth of SCOBY. Kombucha could also be potentially dangerous to consume.<\/p>\n<h2>Black, green or oolong \u2026 How to choose correctly?<\/h2>\n<h4>BLACK TEA<\/h4>\n<p>It is considered the best tea for kombucha, especially for beginners. Those tea leaves are fully oxidized therefore, black tea has a stronger flavour and it contains most nutrients necessary for SCOBY growth and fermentation processes. It also provides best brewing conditions and most consistent pH. Black tea kombucha has a rich, caramelly flavour, similar to cider.<\/p>\n<p>There are several varieties of black tea. Most common types that work best in kombucha are Ceylon and <a href=\"https:\/\/kefirko.com\/hr\/proizvod\/organski-crni-caj-darjeeling-chamong-prva-berba-150g\/?v=ce774d9cab3a\">Darjeeling<\/a>. From our experience, Darjeeling black tea gives the best results. The tea leaves have a flowery scent that is distinct and bright. The colour of the brewed tea is light and clear. Due to their freshness, colour and mild sweetness, the first flush teas are commonly more luxurious than the other flushes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_597552\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-597552\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-750x563.jpg.webp 750w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-155x116.jpg.webp 155w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-400x300.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-240x180.jpg.webp 240w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-500x375.jpg.webp 500w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1.jpg.webp 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-597552 size-medium webpexpress-processed\" src=\"https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"black tea for kombucha\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-155x116.jpg 155w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Black-tea-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/picture><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-597552\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black Tea &#8211; Darjeeling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>GREEN TEA<\/h4>\n<p>It is minimally oxidized and has milder flavour than black tea.

It works amazingly together with <a href=\"https:\/\/kefirko.com\/hr\/proizvod\/organski-caj-od-sipka-100g\/?v=ce774d9cab3a\">Rosehip<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_598113\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-598113\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-300x224.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-750x563.jpg.webp 750w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-155x116.jpg.webp 155w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-400x299.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-1024x765.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-240x180.jpg.webp 240w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-768x574.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-1000x748.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-500x375.jpg.webp 500w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala.jpg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-598113 size-medium webpexpress-processed\" src=\"https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"hibiscus\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-155x116.jpg 155w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-400x299.jpg 400w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-1024x765.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-1000x748.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/kefirko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/82159_Hibiskusblueten_mala.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/picture><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-598113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hibiscus tea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>MINT<\/h4>\n<p>Generally it is not recommended brewing with <a href=\"https:\/\/kefirko.com\/hr\/proizvod\/organski-caj-od-zelene-metvice-100g\/?v=ce774d9cab3a\">Mint<\/a> tea, because of the high content of essential oils. Those can damage kombucha culture and encourage mold growth. However, it is possible to use this tea for kombucha when mixed with black and green tea to provide caffeine and tannins to keep SCOBY healthy and promote proper yeast-bacteria ratio in the brew. We recommend you to use 2 parts of black and green tea blend and one part of mint tea. Make sure you use real mint tea.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_598109\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-598109\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source
