Raw Brewing Company Organic Loose-Leaf Kombucha Tea Blend, 8 oz — Makes up to 25 gal, SCOBY-Nourishing

Raw Brewing Company Kombucha.com Certified Organic Loose Leaf Tea is an 8-ounce mixed blend formulated to produce nutritious tea for home kombucha brewing, yielding up to 25 gallons of kombucha.

This premium loose-leaf blend combines USDA-certified organic black, green, and specialty teas sourced from small farms across Asia, Africa, and South America, then blended and packaged by Raw Brewing Company. The mix is developed specifically to support robust SCOBY growth, consistent fermentation, and well-rounded flavor — all while offering a cost-effective alternative to store-bought kombucha. One half-pound batch can produce up to 25 gallons, making this an economical choice for hobbyists and small-batch fermenters alike.

What makes this loose-leaf blend different from regular tea bags?

Unlike standard tea bags, this blend uses whole-leaf and large-cut teas selected for fermentable nutrients and aroma. Whole-leaf teas retain more oils and micronutrients, which nourish the SCOBY and contribute to richer color and deeper flavor in finished kombucha.

• Blended from certified organic leaves for consistent nutrient content
• Formulated to promote healthy SCOBY formation and fermentation
• Provides stronger aroma and fuller body than typical bagged teas

How much kombucha can I make with the 8-ounce package, and how do I use it?

The 8-ounce (half-pound) package is concentrated to yield up to 25 gallons when used per recommended steeping ratios. Use loose-leaf tea in a tea infuser, muslin bag, or reusable extra-large tea bags, steep to desired strength, cool, then ferment with a SCOBY and starter liquid.

• 8 oz yields up to 25 gallons when following Raw Brewing Co. brewing guidelines
• Compatible with reusable infusers, muslin bags, or extra-large disposable bags
• Steep, cool, then add SCOBY and starter liquid for primary fermentation

Will this tea help produce a healthier SCOBY and better-tasting kombucha?

The blend is created to supply fermentable compounds and micronutrients that support SCOBY growth, consistent color, and layered flavor development. While individual results depend on brewing conditions and hygiene, many home brewers prefer loose-leaf blends to achieve more reliable SCOBYs and richer-tasting brews.

• Designed to deliver nutrients SCOBYs use during fermentation
• Encourages consistent fermentation, color, and aroma when used correctly
• Best paired with clean brewing practices and a proper starter liquid

How does choosing this product impact cost and sustainability?

Brewing at home with concentrated loose-leaf tea is significantly less expensive than buying bottled kombucha, and it reduces packaging waste. Raw Brewing Company sources teas directly from family farms and packages in-house, which helps limit supply-chain markup and supports more sustainable sourcing practices.

• Up to 90% cheaper than purchasing commercial kombucha per serving
• One pound can make roughly 300 standard tea bags worth of tea
• Direct sourcing from family farms reduces intermediaries and waste

Who is this for? Home fermenters, small-batch kombucha makers, and beverage enthusiasts who want a high-quality, certified organic tea base that supports consistent SCOBY development and cost-effective brewing. It’s suitable for beginners who follow basic brewing instructions and for experienced brewers seeking a reliable loose-leaf foundation to customize with flavoring concentrates or secondary fermentation additions.
