update on the kombucha: I'm bottling my third batch and I think I've finally made it drinkable. I mean, something I would WANT to drink versus something I have to remind myself to drink. In a couple weeks this batch will be delicious! The new batch will either be all black tea or a mix of green and black. The all green version I made was super strong and bitter. I used the wrong green, methinks. No more sencha. Meanwhile my 'cha mother has almost quadrupled in size. The green tea batch made it grow something fierce.
