What might affect the production and composition of kombucha?
Adding tea or other flavourings can change the composition as you could possibly destroy the SCOBY from adding some teas
herbal tea are not able to provide the necessary nutrients to feed SCOBY
using over-steeped tea such as infused tea overnight can weaken SCOBY over time
SCOBY cannot thrive in non-tea liquids
black tea is supposedly the best for growing SCOBY
Adding sugar feeds the SCOBY so adding too much or too little or anywhere in between will change how the SCOBY will affect the end result

the SCOBY can die if they are old, temperature-damaged or starved
Individual SCOBY have a life span of around 6-9 months
Seasonal temperature changes likely affect SCOBY growth in kombucha: thrives in warmer temperatures
