Can I use porcelain pots for fermenting Kombucha Tea?
People using porcelain containers should be very cautious. Make very sure there are no cracks, breaks, or chips in the porcelain finish of your pots that may come into contact with the fermenting liquid. In public health circles it has been known for some time that leaving acidic liquids in long-term contact with cracked or chipped porcelain can lead to heavy-metal poisoning. The use of cheaper metal materials under the enamel may contain heavy metals which may leach into the tea by the acids in the fermented tea.
