Yes it is a SCOBY, just without the mother
So this starter SCOBY is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to grow my own pellicle which means it is exactly as described. People commenting that it doesn’t come with SCOBY are just not reading.This does indeed have the live symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. It does indeed start a batch of kombucha for you. I did a half gallon and it took about 10 days to get to the level of tang I wanted my brew tk be at.My pellicle growth is a little more yeasty than anticipated which is why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. I am still working on my second batch so after more time I will edit to give it another review. There has not been enough time to grow my full pellicle yet to truly show the SCOBY that people want to see. But if you read this understand you can start your own batch of kombucha and grow your own pellicle or mother with this tea. It’s exactly as described.Update: after more time the pellicle is growing quite well and beautifully. Will definitely recommend to other people looking for starters

Pretty good
Good starter. Not much to complain about here, just a simple starter tea. Had zero issues.

No SCOBY! Only Kombucha
As other buyer mentions, there is no SCOBY in this item (even though the word SCOBY is in the title). It's just a bag of the world's most expensive kombucha. If this is what you're after, just go to Whole Foods and get a bottle of unflavored, raw kombucha.Waste of money - one star because it arrived on time.

Perfect Kombucha Starter Kit
All the ingredients you need is sugar, tea, and this product to get started on your first homemade Kombucha. I do recommend that you boil or just buy distilled water as your H2O source.

Adjust Delivery Options
Package was delivered extremely hot. As if the package was in direct sunlight. My fear was that product would not work because of the heat. Turns out i was correct and was not able to create the product that was intended

I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED!
I was ALL EXCITED to start my Kombucha and had the other items needed to start my first batch. However, I needed a SCOBY and a cup of starter tea. I ordered from this Company and was EXTREMELY EXCITED when I received it in the mail. But my face "DROPPED" and I was "EXTREMELY SAD" when I noticed there was NO SCOBY, just starter tea with a tiny, tiny every so small residue of the mother floating in it. WHAT?! I thought to myself, "I paid w/ tax $14.00 for this! If I just needed starter tea I could have gone to my whole foods store and bought raw, unflavored Kombucha and used that for started tea BUT I WANTED A MATURE SCOBY + starter tea to start my first batch of Kombucha because I have done my homework by reading countless Kombucha experts and although you can start with just starter tea it's going to take A LOT LONGER which I didn't want to have to do. I GAVE 1 STAR ONLY BECAUSE IT DID ARRIVE AT MY DOORSTEP.
