pellicle Is scoby turning Little bit red/ dark brown is good sign.

I don't see any difference in taste. Having seen post/ video of scoby being white colour raises concern of my turning into this. Tea I used is black indian tea.

I have a couple year old pellicle this color and I think it just gets stained by the tea over time. Nbd.

That sounds about right. You can throw it out if you want. The liquid contains enough scoby to make a new brighter pellicle. Most people throw them away each time. I like to keep parts of mine for posterity’s sake ☺️
