It is safe but my understanding is that you have to use black tea for the SCOBY to make glucorionic acid, which is one of the main health benefits. If you use herbal tea, you won't get nearly the same health benefits. During the fermentation, almost all the caffeine (as well as sugar) is chemically converted.

So, the greatest health benefits are found in kombucha made with black tea. How does white tea compare? Green? Are there any benefits of the glucorionic acid in those? I love the taste of green tea kombucha. I slacked off making it during my pregnancy, and now I can't get my kids to drink it.

They used to LOVE it. I'm going to try making a batch of pomegranate and a batch of raspberry kombucha today. Maybe I can get them to start on that and move back to regular kombucha. Kind of a gateway kombucha.
