Questions,
answered.
Short, honest answers. If yours is not here, message us on WhatsApp and a human (the brewer, usually) replies.
What is kombucha, in one sentence?
Sweetened tea fermented by a living culture of yeast and bacteria (the SCOBY) until it turns tangy, lightly fizzy and full of organic acids and probiotics.
Does kombucha contain alcohol?
A trace, like ripe fruit or kefir: typically under 0.5%, which is the same threshold as "non-alcoholic" beer. It is not an alcoholic drink, and we do not sell it as one.
How much sugar is in a bottle?
We add cane sugar to feed the culture, and the culture eats most of it. A finished bottle has roughly a quarter to a third of the sugar in a same-sized soda. Original Booch is the lowest; the fruit flavours are a little higher.
How much does Scoby Doo kombucha cost?
A 275 ml bottle is ₹120. Mixed boxes of any available flavours are welcome; message us on WhatsApp and we confirm the price and delivery slot within minutes.
Can kids drink it?
We suggest 5 and up, in small amounts to start. Apple Pop is the usual favourite. If in doubt, ask your paediatrician; we are brewers, not doctors.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Kombucha is unpasteurised and contains trace alcohol, so many doctors advise avoiding it during pregnancy. Please ask your doctor first; we would rather lose a sale than guess.
Is Scoby Doo kombucha vegan and gluten-free?
Yes. Tea, cane sugar, fruit, water and a living culture — nothing from animals and no gluten-containing ingredients.
Why does my bottle have floaty bits?
That is a little bit of live culture forming in the bottle. It is completely harmless and a sign the kombucha is alive and unfiltered. Shake gently or strain if you prefer.
How should I store it, and how long does it keep?
Fridge, always. Cold slows the fermentation. Unopened, it is at its best for about 4–6 weeks; once opened, finish it within 2–3 days before it gets too tangy.
Is it pasteurised? Is it carbonated?
No and no. Pasteurising would kill the cultures, and the fizz comes from the second fermentation in the bottle, not from a CO₂ tank. That is why the bubbles are finer and softer than soda.
How much should I drink in a day?
One bottle a day is plenty for most adults. If you are new to fermented drinks, start with half a bottle and see how you feel.
Where do you deliver?
Across Amravati, usually same or next day. We also ship chilled to Nagpur, Wardha, Akola and nearby cities on set days each week. Message us and we will confirm.
How do I order?
WhatsApp +91 77698 98666 with the flavours, how many bottles and your address. You can also call between 10 am and 8 pm. We reply within the hour during the day.
Why are some flavours "on hiatus"?
We brew in small batches with real fruit, so a flavour goes quiet when the fruit is out of season or a batch did not meet the bar. They come back; ask us to notify you.
Still curious?
Ask us anything about the brew, the fridge or the delivery. Real person, real answers, usually within the hour.
