26/08/2019, By CarmenLoved that everything came in a kit along with great instructions. Brewing your own kombucha definitely requires a few tries as we haven't quite got it right! I would recommend not adding the full suggested amount of sugar.22/08/2019, By BiancaThis kit makes making kombucha super easy. I'd never made kombucha before, and the step-by-step guide is very easy to follow. On my second batch now!01/06/2019, By JennaI love ny kit . It is so easy to use and is going to save me alot of money29/05/2019, By TanyaEverything you need to start your first batch. Easy to follow instructions, very impressed.16/05/2019, By LanéMy friends bought this for me as a birthday present and I haven't been as excited about a gift since childhood!! This is a wonderful starter kit with clear instructions and quality ingredients. I adore everything about this set! There is something very rewarding in making something and watching it grow every day. My new favorite passtime is making Kombucha and experimenting with flavor combinations. Thank you Theonista!!09/04/2019, By ManinieI was new to Kombucha and took a risk making it myself from scratch but it has been a hit in my household! Way more cost-effective than buying ready made kombucha.08/04/2019, By AkhenathaI would love to give 6 stars instead of 5. This product is above the best. I received a BIG HEALTHY SCOBY, in comparison to other suppliers who send a small flimsy thing that easily dies. Impossible to make errors with this kit. On top of that the special blend tea tastes REALLY GOOD! Definitely worth the price.04/04/2019, By TheanetteEasy to follow and clear instruction, including a comprehensive troubleshooting section. Great product and quality.02/04/2019, By MelissaSo glad I bought this kit. Comprehensive instructions. Well put-together kit. Made and bottled my first batch with ease. Have started making my second batch and am growing another scoby.
Really enjoyed the taste as well. Happy with this purchase.11/03/2019, By FiAbsolutely loved everything about the product, easy to use. The SCOBY was healthy and already have bottled my first Kombucha - specially love the personal message of the invoice.23/02/2019, By NinaLoved how simple everything needed was put together, with clear instructions. Excellent way to start brewing :)09/02/2019, By CarrieLovely lovely lovely! Perfect starter kit for any fans of kombucha out there, and only the best quality.22/01/2019, By ChaneBayI loved this starter kit. I made my first brew of kombucha and it was flop proof.14/01/2019, By MikeAll was good, except when weighing out the sugar to split into 2 x 200g batches I noticed they only supplied 360g of sugar, instead of 400g.02/01/2019, By JeanetteEverything was packaged so beautifully and the SCOBY looked really healthy. My kombucha is still brewing but I'm sure it will work out great :)04/12/2018, By DannyWorks perfectly!
Instructions are simple and easy.
It's making great Scoby continuously
Perhaps Theonista should sell their tea brew blend as well in bulk? I have now been using my own blend of loose leaf black and green tea.04/12/2018, By DannyWorks perfectly!

Uses a delicious tea blend. Instructions are simple to follow; step by step; no confusion or second guessing yourself. Delicious product.26/11/2018, By BeeGreat for starting your own Kombucha at home! Comes with wverything you need and easy step for step instructions!08/11/2018, By FreyaThe kombucha kit was excellently packaged, instructions were perfectly detailed and accompanied with pictures.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow especially for a first maker of kombucha.
Also, the service that I received was exceptional, the products arrived 2 days after ordering them.
Thanks so much Faithful To Nature team xx07/09/2018, By DylanThis is my first step into the Kombucha world.
I am very impresses with FaithfulToNature, the delivery service and the product itself.
Clear product instructions and the free samples where a bonus.
My first batch is still brewing but I am sure I will be impressed.01/09/2018, By KarmiaI would recommend a few YouTube tutorials, but the written instructions were quite easy to follow.
21/08/2018, By AnnaGood basic kit, 3L jars can easily be purchased at Mambo's for R39.99. Instructions are ok, but I read a lot online before I started to see what level of sterilisation of jars, bottles, utensils (don't use metal ones) was required. SA homes in winter are a bit cold for fermenting, so I kept a warm hot-water bottle & fleece on it. First batch came out well, 2nd just started!18/07/2018, By DiI made my first home brewed Kombucha tea with this kit and it tasted great! Lovely natural energiser. My boyfriend loved it too! I would prefer however, if it came with a jar like the Theonista kits sold in-store but overall, it is a fun product and so good for the gut!06/07/2018, By SamanthaAside from needing a glass jar to brew, this gives you everything you need and the confidence to do it14/06/2018, By DantéI was impressed that the scoby was in such a fantastic condition. Thanks to this kit I have made many successful batches of kombucha.13/06/2018, By MiaI bought this plant a few months ago and boy does offer great value, not just the then R350 that I paid for it but the value that just keep coming, We cannot do without this brilliant product in my household. Strangely enough, it's the one thing that keeps me regular, our skin has improved and all because the Gut has a really good cleaning. The plant grows new leaves almost every 2 weeks, so you can share the goodness, Healthy Guts to all.16/05/2018, By AyeshaWonderful kit, easy to use and takes the 'stress' out of trying to make this. the mouth of my jar was not wide enough, my scoby broke when trying to get it out,so i panicked and threw it away :( will definitely get another kit and wider mouthed jar and try again.
Thanks for a great product, and great service FTN:)25/01/2018, By DeonThank you for a great product. The samples included - the body wash leaked and went over the other products. I am very happy with the product.29/12/2017, By DanielI have been interested in Kombucha for awhile now and had just been buying it from the shops, it is pretty pricey at the shops so I decided to look online to see if I could make it myself. From knowing nothing about how to make Kombucha, this DIY kit gave me all the simple step by step instructions on how to make it happen. If you're on the fence, do yourself and your health and favour and GET IT! you will not regret it. Happy holidays x04/12/2017, By NickyI've been wanting to make my own kombucha for months now, and I wish I had known how easy it was all this time! The starter kit is so easy to follow and since the scoby doesn't come de-hydrated like some other kits, you can start brewing your booch immediately. I've just finished my second ferment, one as is and one with added lemon and strawberries and it tastes GREAT! Thanks Theonista!21/11/2017, By RichardExcellent kit, worked perfect, my Kombucha is going strong with very little effort.15/11/2017, By KarmaThis starter kit is perfect! A great way to get started on your Kombucha brewing journey, with step by step instructions! My scoby is now 4 times its size and my love for Kombucha continues to grow!23/10/2017, By JSI have just completed my first batch of Kombucha using this kit. So great! I love that you have just about everything you need to kick start this home brewing project. For the price, I was a bit disappointed that I needed to go out and buy a 3l glass jar. One can assume that most people have a 1l jar on hand - but a 3l one is a bit obscure!
another great thing is now I have a use for my extensive tea collection :-)22/10/2017, By DanielaA bit pricey, should maybe come with a brewing vessel but all in all An amazing product! Easy instructions to follow and good end result! I enjoyed the process.21/07/2017, By FredaExcellent product. Excellent quality. Made 2 batches so far and it already made 2 new Scoobies. Can't wait to experiment with different teas!11/07/2017, By JenniferI bought this a year ago and really had fun experimenting with Kombucha. The rest of the family were repulsed by the look and smell and never came close to tasting. I even had to hide it. When I offered other family members the excess scoobies, there were no takers.30/06/2017, By JessicaI bought this a couple of months back when I wanted to try making kombucha out myself. I honestly recommend this kit to anyone who is new to the kombucha world. The instructions are very basic, and I would've liked to some improvement in this area as, I assume, most newbies would purchase this kit. Us newbies, although I've learnt a lot over the past couple of months, need more info than most, especially when the scoby ACTUALLY starts doing its thing. Like forming that gooey white layer on top... Give some indications of what to look out for, etc. I was a bit scared to taste my first batch as it smelled extremely vinegary and looked odd as hell. BUT it was delicious! I've made about 7 different batches since then and I must say Theonista's approach is the best in my opinion. My batch using their instructions & tea blend was delicious. Since then I've dabbled with using honey instead of sugar, other teas, fruit chunks (DONT DO IT) and adding fruit juice. More info on secondary fermentation would also be good.12/06/2017, By BronA great starter kit for anyone looking to make some yummy kombucha. The instructions are also nice and clear. Theonoista is also great at providing support. I had a few questions about my scoby and they were more than happy to help me out via e-mail.20/05/2017, By CandiceI love this product! It's been almost 2 weeks since I received it and I have a finished batch of kombucha and a second one brewing. My SCOBY is very healthy and was already starting to grow a baby (lucky me!). The instructions were easy to follow and very detailed. I can't recommend this highly enough for the first time brewer.02/01/2017, By ClintI highly recommend this site to anyone who is seeking excellent customer service, high quality products and superb product delivery.
I placed my order on a Tuesday, before 8am, and the delivery arrived the following day, at 10:30am. This company truly lives up to what they promise.
The Kombucha starter kit, water kefir grains and milk kefir grains have flourished, producing many litres of the probiotic drinks.
A very satisfied customer.
Thank you Faithful to Nature.06/10/2016, By ernareceived a healthy Scoby and on my second batch already and new layers are forming, super stocked to find a supplier who really delivers above expectations06/08/2016, By NathalieThe scoby is so much bigger than I thought it would be! Just made my first batch, its wonderful! Thank you so much!18/06/2016, By AmandaThank you for the fast delivery of my order, I already have two Scobies. We are so intrigued by this, we love it. We hardly get to do a second ferment because everyone wants to taste some.....
We added apple juice to one batch of our second ferment batches and wow we loved it....21/05/2016, By ElizeI have became quite good at this! I have two 8 liter beverage dispensers doing a continuous brew. One ready every Monday and the other every Thursday. I do my second fermentation in empty Grolsch beer bottles. We love experimenting with various flavourings for the second fermentation. So far the apple and ginger seems to be the favourite in our family.
Kombucha has completely replaced fizzy drinks in our house. We have cut sugar completely from our diet since 1 Jan 2016. Lost a lot of weight and feel like a brand new person. I am also doing vegetable fermentation in my crock ordered from Faithful to nature. Kefir is also part of our diet. Really becoming a fermentation funding!09/05/2016, By SheenaLed me to invest in this kit. I found the instructions simple and straightforward and already have the second brew under way.
The kit is a great way to start this part of a healthy life,15/04/2016, By RenateLooks like I am the only one that thinks the instructions were not THAT clear.. I still had to google somethings here and there. SCOBY is not nice and round (looks a bit beaten) so I am HOPING it will heal itself over time.
very excited tho :)06/04/2016, By SamanthaI just started the brewing process, very excited to see how it tastes!20/01/2016, By MargieSo far I am very impressed. The scoby is doing all the things that it must. I am gong to try my first batch today.27/11/2015, By AlastairMy interest in fermented foods started when I read up about how our guts microflora can influence not just our physical wellbeing, but our mental wellbeing, too.
I chose to begin with this DIY kombucha kit as it offered an easy and cost-effective way to introduce more probiotics into my diet.
Since then and brewing kombucha has totally won me over. I have complete control over the strength of each brew I make (I like mine super strong with minimal sweetness) as well the kind of tea I use (various loose-leaf green and oolong teas being my preferred choice). I find myself having fun making my kombucha batches, and they
e a great conversation starter when folks come around to visit, too!
On the health side, introducing probiotics into my diet has definitely improved various aspects of my wellbeing. And while I can attribute this probiotic regime to kombucha alone, its worth noting that kombucha tea offers different microflora strains than those that are commonly found in capsules and yoghurt cultures.
So if yoghurt and probiotic capsules still leave you with gut issues, then trying out a different source of microflora might be worth trying out. And if you do decide to experiment, kombucha is an easy way to start.18/11/2015, By OliverSo I got this as a gift recently and turns out Im the best god damn kombucha chef around! My brews taste amazing and its super cheap and easy to do. The instructions are simple and it feels like Ive got a new best friend as well as a R1,000 of kombucha stashed in my fridge. Epic gift, thanks guys!
