Transferred that scoby. For fun, tried some of the tea from the scoby incubation jar, and man, I mean, it tastes ok, but WHOOF is it acidy. Could feel my tooth enamel.

what's fun is that I actually do not care for straight up black tea, like Yorkshire or whatever, but that's what they recommend you use as it is the Most Nutritious, and I actually do love the (well, anticipated, once it's less acid-y) flavour of the kombucha stuff. yum man

because I love talking to myself, let me rank tea styles from best to pretty okay but not something I really love

  1. Pu-erh (like Rose shou, this stuff: https://www.taotealeaf.com/rose-pu-er-tea-shou/ )
  2. Greens of various types
  3. White
  4. Tisanes (rooibos, others)
  5. Black

Have not tried yellow tea. There are probably others I haven't had either.

I look at this list of tea and I'm like "Am I british enough" but british people like black and milk, so, maybe not

worth noting that I first encountered tea in SE Asia as a kid, and that was just straight up plain green served at church, so that's where my tastes started. If I had been a southern US person, I'd probably be all about sweet tea, and if I only found tea when I moved to Canada or something, I probably would be black+milk

@adr Canadians aren't as rigid about milk in tea as some of the other colonies are. I've never had milk tea, for example.
