You may have heard people talking about bokashi tea, or bokashi liquid, or bokashi juice. The terms mean the same, the liquid produced during bokashi fermentation of organic waste. The liquid is light brown in color and is actually a mix of dissolved materials produced during the fermentation

If you use bokashi composting to handle all your organic wastes at home, then you will produce two products: solid and liquid. The liquid product resulted from bokashi composting is as a product of microbial fermentation during the process of bokashi composting. As bokashi fermenttaion is a closed system, nutrients presents in organic wastes placed in composting bin will all be converted into either the solid or the liquid product. So there is no nutrient leakage in bokashi composting system. The exact proportion between solid and liquid product will vary, depending on many factors including what organic wastes are you put in the composting bin and your bokashi starter composition (especially for home made starter). These also determine how much bokashi liquid you produce.

Bokashi composting bin comes with a hole underneath to drain off the bokashi liquid at a regular time. Liquid draining is an intergral part of bokashi fermentative composting system and you have to do draining for a succesfull bokashi composting. Both solid and liquid products are valuable organic fertilizers.
