What you get

30 g of live water kefir grains.
A live kombucha SCOBY with starter liquid.
Both step-by-step guides and our online recipe collection.

How to start a batch

The water kefir goes into a jar with sugar water, a dried fig and a slice of lemon, and is ready after 24 hours. The kombucha needs sweet tea and 7 to 10 days. Every step is in the guides to water kefir and kombucha.

Storing the cultures

Water kefir: between batches, the grains wait in the fridge in fresh sugar water for up to two weeks.

Kombucha: between batches, the SCOBY stays in a little finished kombucha, covered, at room temperature.

Can't start on the day they arrive? The cultures wait in their pouches in the fridge for two to three days.

Two sparkling drinks

Water kefir every day, kombucha every week

One drink is ready after 24 hours, the other after a little over a week. Between them there's always something cold and fizzy in your fridge, and not a drop of milk in either.

Water kefir

Fruity and light: 1 litre every 24 hours, with a second fermentation that turns it into sparkling lemonade.

Kombucha

Tart and aromatic, made with the tea you choose. A proper brew of strong breakfast tea is the place to start. Ready in 7 to 10 days.

Better value as a set

You save £4 compared with buying the two cultures separately.

From traditional methods

Two cultures, unique and vigorous, with everything you need for the first batch.

Side by side

Two rhythms that fit together

	Water kefir 30 g	Kombucha SCOBY
Base	1 litre of water, 4 tablespoons of sugar, a fig, a slice of lemon	1 litre of tea, 80 g of sugar, starter liquid
Fermentation time	24 hours	7 to 10 days
Taste	Fruity, light	Tart, aromatic
Second fermentation	24 to 48 hours with fruit	2 to 5 days with fruit or ginger
Work	2 minutes a day	About 10 minutes a week

Not sure which of the two you'll drink most? Read kefir or kombucha? If you'd like milk kefir as well, go for the complete starter kit instead. Or add the ginger beer plant to the set and your order passes £35, so standard tracked delivery is free.

Getting started

Your first fortnight

Start both on the day the parcel arrives. The water kefir gives you its first litre the next morning, and from then on you strain and restart it once a day. The guide to your first days with water kefir tells you what to look for. The kombucha jar sits quietly under its cloth for a week or so: start tasting on day 7, and bottle it when it's pleasantly tart. All the steps are in how to make kombucha.

By the end of the second week you'll have flavoured bottles of both. Try lemon and ginger water kefir on a weekday and an apple and cinnamon kombucha for the weekend. Fancy something spicier again? The ginger beer plant makes a fine third jar.

Questions

What people ask us before ordering

Can I start both straight away?

Yes, ideally on the day they arrive. If that's not possible, the grains and the SCOBY wait in their pouches in the fridge for two to three days.

Can the jars sit next to each other?

Yes, with a hand's width of space between them and both covered with a cloth. That way each culture stays in its own jar.

How much space do I need?

A spot on the worktop for two jars of about a litre and a half, out of direct sun and away from the cooker.

Does it make a good gift?

It's a lovely one for anyone who prefers a fizzy drink to a cup of coffee, for Christmas, Mothering Sunday, Father's Day or a birthday. Fill in the recipient's address at checkout and the invoice comes to you by email.

What if a culture doesn't get going?

Email us with a photo. We'll look at it together and find a solution: a replacement or your money back.

Great client service

Great client service I ordered kombucha SCOBY and water kefir grains and when the package arrived, a part of the kefir was missing. Client service was very quick at sending me the missing item. Both grains and SCOBY are producing great drinks.

Juliette MaysReview on Trustpilot Excellent service and fantastic culture kits!

Highly recommended! I recently purchased the culture kits for both water kefir and kombucha, and I couldn’t be happier! The package arrived right on time and was packed with so much care. To be honest, I was a bit nervous at first, but the instructions are incredibly clear, thorough, and easy to follow (the included booklet is an amazing guide if you're a beginner like me!). Both cultures worked perfectly on the very first try, and the drinks taste absolutely delicious.
