How to ship kombucha and brewing supplies

PACKING GUIDELINES

How to ship kombucha drink

1. Pack kombucha drinks into glass container: if home-made, or if your kombucha is commercially-made, keep it in its original sealed container.
2. Wrap each bottle separately: using bubble wrap, wrap each bottle several times. Ensure the glass container cannot leak.
3. Use gel packs: To keep the container cool during transport.
4. Pack each bottle into a separate box: ensuring it can hold the weight of your glass container. Fill any extra space with newspaper, packing peanuts and additional gel packs to prevent movement during transport.

How to pack kombucha starter kit for shipping

Send your kombucha drink along with all the pieces of a starter kit, including the best way to transport a scoby and other items.

• Pack kombucha jar: According to the previous instructions, protect your glass jar with multiple layers of bubble wrap, and if transporting an empty jar, fill any space inside with cushioning material.
• Pack kombucha scoby: Place the scoby into a separate glass jar with a small amount of starter tea, and ensure the container is sealed. Wrap the container several times with thermal bubble-wrap and use gel packs or dry ice to keep the container cool.
• Pack remaining items: Place tea bags and sugar in separate containers, and wrap each of these separately with bubble wrap. You should also protect your brewing cloth and coffee filters with additional layers of bubble wrap for protection. Place all the items into a box, ensuring any extra space is filled and items cannot move during transport.
