and Damn!
Its pretty freaking tasty! Its "heavier" in the mouth then using black or green teas as a base, but its pretty darn good! I did get a pretty big build up of yellowish looking foam under my SCOBY, but I just scrapped it off when I was filtering it out. It reminds me of some of the coffee flavored drinks I bought when I visited Okinawa from the vending machines there.
Its a nice change from "regular" kombucha tea, and I'm going to experiment with it a bit more to see what kind of flavors I can come up with. I also just finished up a citrus flavored k. tea batch that is quite refreshing!
Yay for homebrewing and not paying $3.50 a bottle!

Re: So I tried using coffee as a base for K. tea...

I wonder if the pickling jars from the wok shop
would be good for kombucha.

Citrus K.Tea sounds absolutely smashing! Please tell us your recipes.
Is your Scoby still growing/flourishing after the coffee brew? I wonder about the long term effects. Does coffee give it the nutrients it needs? Does the Coffe-Kombucha have the same caffeine content?
So many questions, so many bacteria. Gotta love Momma Nature. ;)
