Usually, people who brew both Jun Tea and Kombucha say they prefer the flavour of Jun Tea to Kombucha. It’s referred to as the “champagne of Kombucha's.” Now that’s saying something! Jun Tea is thought to have derived from the East, where it is said to have been brewed in monasteries and consumed by monks and warriors for its health benefits to promote a state of well being and as an aid for a clear mind. However, Jun Tea is still brewed in Western Tibet and is well known there.

It could be the fact that jun tea is the ‘original’ Kombucha, given that sugar was hard to come by long ago on the Tibetan plain. Perhaps the Jun Scoby was taken out of Tibet and was brewed with sugar, adapting to the regular sugar brew and becoming the kombucha scoby.
