  • what is jun?

    jun or jun tea is a drink brewed with green tea, sweetened with honey and fermented in the same process as kombucha with a scoby (symbiotic compound of bacteria and yeast). it is often referred to as the champagne of kombuchas because of its bright acidity and crisp effervescence.

    while jun’s origins are ambiguous, it is commonly attributed to the khampa nomads of tibet who were former monks turned warriors that drank jun to have superior fighting capabilities when kicking out invading chinese forces.

    at jun bug kombucha we lightly ferment our jun with naturalitea sencha (high quality steamed japanese green tea) and bee-utiful raw chicago honey. we use reverse osmosis filtered lake michigan water and locally harvested cultures. those four ingredients make our flagship flavor jun tea.

    we make no claims about superior fighting power in our product but jun tea does contain a plethora of probiotics, which are great for gut health.
