Loose Tea in SCOBY

[lagreider]

Is there a problem if there is loose tea in my SCOBY? Will it attract bacteria or? Can I use this SCOBY for my next batches?

Do you mean like loose tea leaves? I don't see how it would harm your SCOBY. But if you are really worried about it, just remove your SCOBY and filter your kombucha, then return the SCOBY to the batch (unless the batch is done, then just bottle and enjoy!). Hope this helps.
