Why does Kombucha need to be in the dark?
A Sunlight and ultra-violet light are harmful to certain micro-organisms and will inhibit Kombucha’s vital processes. It is therefore important to keep your fermen-ting beverage and culture in the dark or shade. If you have your container on a kitchen surface your Kombucha may be exposed to too much light. To shade it, fold a tea-cloth in half and place over the secured muslin cover, creating a small peep-hole at the front to allow air in. If you are using a glass container then place it inside a box or with something suitable to shade the sides of the bowl as well.
