Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 LMAO I love these so called experts. Hon I use organic tea when i can get it, and have never ever had a mold problem. I would question her brewing techniques or the age of her Organic tea and how it was stored.

This warning on organic is bogus, regardless of your friend's sincerity, it has no basis in fact. Organic does not mean moldy or dirty, in fact it is usually far cleaner than commercial products. Organic simply means it has been produced without toxins and has no toxic residues on it, unlike commercially grown food. Many of us here on the list use organic tea and sugar/sweeteners. Warnings like those against organic occur in other contexts and it is basically a scare tactic to get people to stay in line with the industrial farming and medical complex. Your friend is probably unaware of this background/backlash against organic and means well, but she's wrong. Organic is not only good for the people who eat it, but good for the people who farm it, and good for the planet. If humans are to have a sustainable future as a species, organic agriculture is a necessity. --V ~~~ There is no way to peace; peace is the way ~~~~ --A.J.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I used organic tea from whole foods and have had no problems so far. Make sure to put your scoby in the room-temp tea first, then pour the starter tea on top of the scoby and let it flow into the container. This helps stop any mold on top as well(by killing the mold sports with the acidity) and doesn't hurt the scoby. --ph > > Hi, > Another question - A friend of mine told me just today to *only* use > conventional tea to make KT because if you make it from organic tea it will > mold.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Yes, I have.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hi EveryOne, As someone who had been making Kombucha tea with both Organic Teas and Organic Sugar since 1994, I can tell you for sure that using Organic ingredients to make your KT will only make it better for you, it will not cause any problems, such as mold, whatsoever. The person who said this may know her Kombucha but she sure doesn't understand about Certified Organic.....all that is left out is the chemical fertilizers and pesticides...who needs them....
