The SCOBYing is strong with this one !!!
Growing since summer 2024 it has made many a beautiful SCOBY for me and others ⭐️
AKA "Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast "
Did you know I grew my own SCOBYs from scratch in my North Kerry kitchen, so they are uniquely mine.
It took months of trial and error to have one grow for me, definitely more fails than yays.
From that original one, I have now approx 30 in my home in and out of kombucha rotation. Some have aged out and are popped on my compost and others are going strong !
I sell some occasional when I have too many, but mostly I keep them for the many many kombuchas I make and sell to my loyal and new customers.
My SCOBYs have given me many opportunities over the last 4, going on 5 years now. I have done all the markets and food festivals I can manage and have met some amazing people in the process.
More recently, my SCOBYs and I won an award, which then, in turn, has given me to another amazing opportunity in the coming months.
My passion and patience for fermentation have paid off, and I can't wait to see what else we (my SCOBYs and I) can achieve together!
