Pros & Cons
Pros
Double packaged to assure quality. Well packaged, already been through several batches. Speedy shipping.
The only bummer is that i measured the starter tea volume and it is exactly 8 ounces, not the advertised 12 ounces. Good scoby, wish they added more starter tea.

Competitiveness
When you get the hang of it and your scoby reproduces start a scoby hotel in your fridge so you always have a spare scoby or two
Will definitely buy again when my scoby dies
If you have to handle your scoby only use clean gear
If you experiment too much in your primary chamber you might have a scoby get sick and die

Definitely easy for beginners if you follow their instructions instead of another recipe which is why my first one wasnt that great
