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 cups starter buch.

We harvested this batch on 11/24 and flavored it with less than 1/4 cup of raspberry puree (2 pints) and 1/2 tbsp of sugar in bottles #91-96

Well we moved this a little late (1 pm 11/30) so with a 6 day 2nd fermentation we should have some explosive buch.

Oolong RP: /uːlɒŋ/, GA: /ulɑŋ/ (simplified Chinese: 乌龙; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: wūlóng) is a traditional Chinesetea (Camellia sinensis) produced through a unique process including withering the plant under the strong sun and oxidation before curling and twisting.

For this batch we used 21 grams of Tung Ting Oolong, 10 cups of water, a cup of sugar and 1 1/2 cups starter buch.

We harvested this on 11/23 for a seven day buch. It was fizzy but still very sweet so we flavored it with 1/2 tbsp of sugar and we’ll do a nine day 2nd fermentation for our favorite flavor these days, Plain Oolong.

11/10 LB Psycho Buch #71-76 Grape Ape

Grape Ape

For this batch we used 9 grams of David’s Breakfast black tea and 5 grams of Gyokuro Yamashiro green.

This is our last Psycho Buch batch and we harvested it on 11/19 into bottles #71-76 with 1/4 cup of concord grape juice and 1/2 tbsp sugar. We’ll do a five day second fermentation. We are turning our Pyscho Buch brew into a green tea brew so we’ll see how our SCOBY (which doesn’t seem too happy) does with a green tea nute.

We moved this to the fridge on 11/24 for a 9/5 Grape Psycho Ape. This is our last psycho blend. We have switched our psycho SCOBY to green tea.
