Why quiet?

Because it's almost like a baby in the womb.

I mean, I used to sometimes just stare at the vessels like fermenting because it almost, you start seeing like this life force, this living energy of bubbles and transformation and all of that.

What are the stringy things?

So those are like a combination of the yeast and bacteria.

And it's almost like,

its tendrils extending down because it really wants to interact with all the liquid because it really is consuming the nutrients that are in the tea, the carbohydrates and whatever fermenting agent you're using.

No, so what is like the best analogy I can give for kombucha is it's like a plant, right?

So the tea base is its soil and fertilizer.

It breathes air.

The humidity and warmth is almost like it's sunshine.

And just like anything, you plant a seed, you nurture the plant.

At some point, its byproduct is a fruit or vegetable.

The byproduct is the tea.

And that's basically the outcome of this miraculous fermentation that takes place in every batch.

And so, yeah, so when I delivered it to Air One, I mean, that's when I knew I was on the right path is that I remember delivering it and I polished every bottle like it was like a trophy.

Do you remember how many bottles were in the first batch?

Yeah, it was 24 bottles that they ordered.

So at the time that was like,

that almost two batches.
