This is the main page for any research and experiments done with dried Kombucha SCOBY. A SCOBY is a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast created as a byproduct of fermenting black tea and sugar. When dried the culture becomes harder and stronger, resembling something like leather. Because it is still alive, just dormant, when dried, you can join two edges of the material by wetting the two edges with sugar water and having them grow into eachother. As of now there has been little to no research on potential applications of the material.
