Can one produce Kombucha Tea without using a colony?
Michael Roussin, Director of the Kombucha Consumer Research Group ™ says “. . . the colony brings to the ferment everything it needs to reproduce itself. And fermenting without a colony will breed out some of the symbiotes, and it will also breed in new ones.” “. . .I strongly recommend that you introduce a colony to each new ferment you start. It has all of the information necessary to replicate itself, and while some of that information is not necessary, much of it is. The colony is not an effect, it’s a purpose.
