This has been discussed a few weeks ago, and the consensus was that teas high in essential oils -- especially antimicrobial ones -- may cause problems if brewed straight. However, one member was going to run a test batch or three . . . any news yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 > > How can I tell wish tea has to much essentials oils You'll have to consult an herbal reference to be certain, but as a general rule of thumb, highly-aromatic teas have higher concentrations of essential oils. For instance, mint, catnip, and chamomile all contain high concentrations of essential oils. These teas may or may not -- in varying proportions -- adversely affect kombucha growth. They're almost certainly suboptimal when cultured in isolation, though testing would be required to determine what proportion mixed with tea, rooibos, or some other non-oily base tea isn't a problem.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I received my copy of the famous " Kombucha " book by Guenther W. today. It contains a list of all the herbs and their volatile oil content. Sage, peppermint, camomile and st-johns-wort are his examples for herbs you should not use for kombucha. But how about brewing with black or green tea and then do a second fermentation with camomile flowers added? Would that work? Would you then get the benefit of kombucha and the herbs?
