Why does it matter that the SCOBY is live?
Kombucha only happens when a living culture meets sweet tea. That is why the Natural Probio SCOBY is sent active, in its liquid, rather than in any form that has to be revived first. You open the pouch, follow the leaflet, and your jar is under way the same afternoon. Our cultures are selected for their vitality and guaranteed alive on arrival; you can read more on our quality promise.
On arrival, your SCOBY may look pale or tawny, smooth or a little uneven, sometimes with brown strands hanging from it. That is simply how a live culture looks. If anything puzzles you, send us a photo and we will tell you straight away.
"Both cultures worked perfectly on the very first try, and the drinks taste absolutely delicious."
Elisa, June 2026Trustpilot review, water kefir and kombucha"Client service was very quick at sending me the missing item. Both grains and SCOBY are producing great drinks."
Juliette M., June 2026Trustpilot review, SCOBY and water kefir"Fast shipping. The product is superb."
Elli S., August 2025Trustpilot reviewWhat else will you need?
Nothing you would have to go out and buy. A large glass jar, a sieve, a clean cloth or tea towel with an elastic band, and a few swing-top bottles cover everything. For the brew itself, you need tea, sugar and water. The guide lists it all and explains which teas give which results.

Is the SCOBY the right product for you?
If you enjoy tea, like flavours with a bit of depth and do not mind waiting about a week for your drink, it is a great place to start. If you would rather have something fruity and ready the next day, or you want both, look at the kombucha and water kefir duo. To try every culture at once, there is the complete kit. Still unsure? Our range comparison helps you decide in a couple of minutes.

What should you do when it arrives?
Open the parcel on the day it lands and start your first jar that day or the next. If you need to wait, pop the pouch in the fridge: it is happy there for a few days. A slightly puffed-up pouch is a good sign, because the culture keeps working on the way. A first jar that seems slow is normal too; the SCOBY finds its rhythm within two or three brews.
Questions about your order
Does the SCOBY really arrive alive?
Yes. It travels in its own liquid, in a well-sealed pouch, and is active on arrival. If it does not get going, the guarantee applies.
Can I order from anywhere in the UK?
Yes, from anywhere in the UK and from most countries. The options, cost and delivery time for your address appear at checkout.
Is one SCOBY enough to begin?
Yes. One SCOBY with its liquid is exactly what you need for your first jar, and the guide is written around it.
What if the pouch arrives damaged?
Email a photo of the parcel and its contents to hello@natural-probio.com. We send a replacement straight away, with no return needed on your side.
