How to Store Kombucha Scoby (3 Steps)

Kombucha tea, which is made from a colony of bacteria and yeast, is gaining popularity in the United States. The tea's culture is called the scoby. There are some claims that drinking kombucha tea can have health benefits, including aiding digestion and liver function and stimulating the immune system, though no conclusive scientific studies have been done. Once you purchase the scoby to make the tea, you must store it correctly in a cool, enclosed space.

Things You'll Need

  • Glass container
  • Refrigerator

Instructions

  1. Remove the scoby from any plastic packaging that it came in. Plastic can leach into the kombucha, so you should remove it before storing the scoby for any period of time.

  2. Place the scoby into a jar of kombucha if possible. If you don't have another batch of tea already made, put the scoby into a container that does not leach, such as a glass jar with a lid.

  3. Seal the jar or container and place the scoby into a refrigerator. This will help the scoby go into a dormant state. Never keep the scoby in the freezer.
