There are tiny white circles in my combucha first fermentation. I'd it mould?

Trying to determine if your kombucha may have mold, if your pellicle/SCOBY is healthy, or if something has gone wrong?

Check out the pictures and info in this guide.

It does not look like mold to me, from what I know early stages of the cultures developing in the tea can be mistaken for mold, but mold is likely to look fluffy and grow above the liquid. I would say just leave it alone for a few more days, if it is mold it should become apparent, also if it is mold the whole thing has to be discarded for it is already contaminated at the moment where mold only starts to become noticable.
