Orange-Kombucha

Darjeeling tea is a tea from the Darjeeling district in West Bengal, India. For this batch we used 10 cups water, 14 grams of DavidsTea Second Flush Darjeeling, 1 cup sugar and 1 1/2 cup starter buch.

We harvested this on 2/25, letting it go a couple of extra days. It still tasted sweet and not too vinegary. We flavored it with 1/4 cup of mandarin orange puree and 1 tbsp of sugar in bottles #21-26. We will try it in three days.

We did try this after three days and it was plenty fizzy so we moved the rest the next morning. We’re very happy with our first batch of Orange Buch!

We threw this out. We just aren’t diggin’ the fresh fruit flavor these days. We’ll try some fruit juices and other flavors but for now our favorite flavor is Plain
