Sparkling Green Tea with Honey. Jun is an almost mythical beverage, known as the Champagne of Kombucha and thought to originate in Tibet, where it was traditionally made by fermenting tea with honey, to create a naturally effervescent and refreshing beverage. Stories abound of legendary samurai warriors riding through the Himalayan mountains with this sacred elixir to boost their energy and spirit.

Loving Foods Jun is naturally cultured using organic green tea and organic honey, using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) to drive the fermentation process. This technique is a time-honoured method of preparation, resulting in a drink packed full of vitamins, enzymes and probiotics, prized by cultures all the way through the world, who value its ability to promote good health and wellbeing.

Our Kombucha and Jun beverages are fermented using either organic cane sugar or organic honey, both crucial nutrients for the growing bacteria to live on and multiply. Throughout fermentation, the symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY), consume the honey and in the process, produce wonderful strains of beneficial bacteria, vitamins, minerals and enzymes. The final product only contains a small amount of the original sugar, as most of it is consumed by the bacteria and yeast. As another lovely side benefit, they also make the drink nice and fizzy.

Additionally, all of the water used in our drinks is double filtered using both active ceramic and granular activated carbon to remove impurities and for a great taste. Jun is an incredible, tasty, clean alternative to commercially available fizzy drinks.

GLUTEN FREE, VEGETARIAN & PALEO – Everything we produce is gluten free, paleo and either vegetarian or vegan. They are perfect for people with food intolerances, for the health-conscious, or for those who just want to incorporate some live fermented foods into their daily diets. We use no chemicals, additives, preservatives, vinegars or stabilisers in any of our products.
LONG SHELF LIFE – As a result of the fermented nature of our food and drink, everything we sell has a 6-9 month shelf life, which makes them ideal for multipack purchases – for which we offer discounted pricing. Ordering in bulk also reduces the effective shipping costs of each jar or bottle. Just make sure you keep them in the fridge to slow down the fermentation and help them last longer.
