Taupo Sourdough Questions, Answered

How long until my starter is ready to bake with?

Most bakers see their flakes bubbling away within a few days of following the included instructions. Because the culture is already established, you skip the wobbly early weeks entirely and get straight to baking.

Is shipping to Taupo really free?

Yes — shipping is free to Taupo and everywhere else in New Zealand. The flakes are shelf-stable, so they arrive in perfect condition no matter the distance, and you can keep a spare packet tucked away for later.

What if my starter does not activate?

That is what the activation guarantee is for. Follow the instructions, and if your starter still refuses to wake up, we will sort it out — you are not left holding a dud culture and a pile of wasted flour.
