Try to brew it in a cool place in your house, and note that it will be ready more quickly than kombucha in most cases. The trick is to catch it before the flavor turns boozy or too sour.

I think I’d like to start making kombucha again and this Jun tea sounds great. However, I live in Georgia and there’s no way my house will be between 65 and 70 degrees in the summer! Mostly between 74-78. Would I still be able to make the Jun tea at these summer temps? I used to make regular kombucha and it worked okay but did brew pretty quickly in summer.

Whether you do due two 1/2 gallons or 1 gallon, you only need 1 SCOBY per container. The advantage of 1 gallon is that it will take up less space. The advantage of two batches is that you can make them on odd days so that one matures before the other in a cycle. Alternatively, look into continuous brew. The method is the same whether it's kombucha or jun.

My wife is addicted to kombucha now. We drink about2-4 a day. These are a replacement for soda.
I found your recipe and thought this would be easier. Her Neice tried making kombucha and said it was terrible.
I have done some fermenting of vegetables like sauerkrauts and have had great success. Jun seems to be straight forward.

The starter tea arrives in the same package as the SCOBY when you order it from any reputable source.

Hi EJ,

I find that the flavor of sencha works better, but this is a personal preference rather than a hard-and-fast rule. If you prefer gunpowder green, dragonwell or another type, please use that. No other changes to the recipe are necessary.

Hi Ronda -
I don't recommend adding any herbs to this tea.
