What are the small jelly-like things growing in the Kombucha tea stored in the refrigerator?
A Even with efficient filtering of the fermented liquid, you will not be able to eliminate all yeast and bacteria cells. These stimulate new culture growth, but the process is reduced enormously in the cold environment of the refrigerator. It is a simple process to strain every glass you pour through a small sieve. The jelly bits (we call them ‘little happenings’) won’t harm you and some people don’t even bother to do this. It shows the remarkable nature of the ‘live’ Kombucha tea health drink.
