How filtered does the filtered water need to be?

The main thing is chemical free water. If you are using tap water there are chemicals in the water that kill bacteria purifying the water. These same chemicals can effect the kombucha brew. Reverse osmosis is best in this situation to remove the chemicals. If you are using well water or purchasing purified water it should be free of chemicals and ready to use as is.

What is the total amount of sugar per 8oz?

1 Cup of sugar/gallon.....you figure it out.

What kind of tea(s) can i use with my scoby? i'm not asking for a particular brand but like what's the difference between barooti assam and others?

Almost any tea (camellia sinensis) will work. Even herbs like yerba mate can work, however with only herbs such as yerba mate you can brew a few cycles but then you need to add black tea or some other (camellia sinensis) to help the scoby grow. We find that black tea grows the best scobies.

So happy I purchased this kit. I just tasted my kombucha from my first batch and it's amazing. Everything arrived safely and packaged beautifully. The scoby was thick and healthy and it came with plenty of starter tea. The kit includes everything you need except the bottles and was very easy to use. The value for the price was great.

I bought this starter kit for my husband & I because we found that we really loved the taste & health benefits of Kombucha but didn't like the high price of purchasing it in the store. This kit makes it very easy to get started brewing your own Kombucha. It has clear, easy instructions & shows you how to keep your Scobi going so that you can enjoiy delicious Kombucha over and over again. It is an amazing value & makes a great gift!
