While our tea is blended for brewing good ol’ Southern iced tea, the blend is a worldly one -- directly imported from Asia, Africa, and South America, these tea blends are organic with all the natural goodies that come with them.
Raw Brewing Co' tea contains as little plastic and paper packaging as possible, so the planet will be happy. And our tea products contain leaf sizes that are the ideal for brewing tea that has the best flavor and all the nutrients. Unlike big tea brands, our tea is not a fine dust that blows with the wind. Not too big, not too small --- our tea is just right.
Included are unbleached, biodegradable tea bags (50 in 8oz, 100 in 16oz). Our system is easy --- instead of unwrapping a tea bag out of plastic that goes to the landfill, you just fill it up yourself quick and easy. Whatever blend you choose, you’ll make a delicious, refreshing brew that is THE Southern Standard!
The RBC System
Brewing with our system makes it exceptionally easy to make your own kombucha at home.
Act 1: Brew tea for kombucha
Step 1
Put desired amount of tea into disposable kombucha.com Drawstring Filter Bags (tea balls and muslin bags not recommended for this blend). PRO TIP: tea will expand in water, so only fill your tea bags up about half way, otherwise bags may burst.
Step 2
Add your sugar and filtered water to a pot, heat to a rolling boil, then add filled tea bags. Immediately remove from heat, cover, and allow to cool to room temperature. Remove tea bags. PRO TIP: Need to cool your brew more quickly? Use only 1/4 to 1/3 of the total water to boil, allow tea to steep, then add the remainder at chilled or room temperature.
Step 3
Add your cooled brew to your scoby and starter liquid. Cover with a piece of cloth (or kombucha.com Fer-Mesh) and an elastic band, then place in a well-ventilated area between 72-80 degrees. Do not place in direct sunlight.
Act 2: Ferment Your Booch
Step 1
Allow your brew to ferment for 5-10 days (warmer >temperatures take less time), or until your brew reaches desired flavor.
Step 2
Optional: flavor with kombucha.com Brew Booster or your favorite booch fixins, and bottle for secondary fermentation. Enjoy your creation!
Act 3: Boost your brew with Brew Booster
before you begin
For kombucha and other living beverages, reserve your scoby
and/or any starter liquid needed for your next batch, before adding
Brew Booster. Use during first (primary) fermentation notrecommended.
Step 1

Step 2

Step 3
Remove the bag, tea ball, or strain your brew. For kombucha and other living beverages, bottle for secondary fermentation and carbonation if desired. Store in refrigerator. Enjoy your brew!
