    Jun tea, the "Honey Kombucha"

    Hiya! It is rumored that Jun has a higher alcohol percentage, however, I think it does in fact depend upon many factors...particularly when one pulls the brew... You can find Jun scobies online. I am prepping to sell my scobies thru Amazon, but feel free to contact me if you need a Scoby ; )

    Jun tea, the "Honey Kombucha"

    Jun has a brew preferred brew temp of 68 to 69 degrees...about 5-10 degrees cooler than Kombucha. You can brew at higher temps, but brew time may be shortened (it’s already shorter brew time than kombucha). I find that the flavor profile changes at higher temps as well...

    Aloha!! Due to brewing Jun, I started keeping bees as well : ) Fascinating!! To address your questions: 1) I have found no other way to produce Jun sconces at a quicker rate. Time and patience, my friend! 2) I have used white and jasmine teas with good results. Play away! 3) I too get...

    Jun tea, the "Honey Kombucha"

    I use one cup of honey per gallon. And a Jun Scoby is recommended, as it can handle the antimicrobial properties present in honey.
