Re: GT Daves' Raw Kombucha Original Metal taste

[Guest guest]

IMHO GT Daves is a really poor way to get started. None of his taste very

good to me. best to grab a scoby from someone on the list. Once upon a time

I would have been happy to offer, but alas I now live where there is no mail

service and I only have transportation about once every 2-3 months.

are you drinking it straight from the bottle? the metal lid sometimes leaves a

metallic taste around the rim, so i always pour it into a cup. other than that i

have never had it taste funny.

I bought a bottle of GT Daves Raw Kombucha the Original Flavor...there is a

scoby in it....I was told I could use it as my starter...When I opened the

bottle (my first taste of Kombucha) it seems to have a metal taste to it...I did

not have much carbonation in it...It tastes good except for the metal

taste....kinda of like apple cider...why the metal taste? Can I still use it to

start my tea?

The fact that it did not have much carbonation makes me wonder if the

vacuum was broken. I have never ever had a flat GT.

LOL, On top of a very isolated mountain in Western NC. No mail service

is common around these parts. So much so that the PO offers free PO boxes

to all of us, Problem is I can't get there to collect my mail. I should

have transportation sometime in the near future and that will change the

entire ball game for me.

The Upside is I don't havve to contend with all the blasted junk mail and

advertising.

I also think GT's has a metal taste, my guess is they make it in stainless

steel vats, don't know just a guess but every bottle of GT's I've ever had,

had the same taste. I have used GT's as a starter and it works just fine.

Will you get the metal taste in the batch you make? All you can do is try

and see, it could be the taste is coming from the culture GT's uses to make

their KT with. The batch I just made using the GT culture and tea does have

a little of the metal taste to it, but not as much as GT from the bottle.

Use what you have and see how it works.
