1 Gallon Jun Kombucha Starter Kit - Includes USDA Organic Jun SCOBY & Starter Tea + Ingredients To Start Brewing Your Own Jun Tea * Jar Not Included *

Such a great kit! I really appreciated the clear directions. I found them easy to change it over to a continuous brew setup. My Jun kombucha is delicious! My scoby baby has grown quickly and is so pretty and creamy colored! I’m the first photo taken June 11th, you can see the outline of the original “mama” scoby in the lower left corner, some yeast processing in the center, and the baby scoby all around. For anyone brand new to this like I was when I bought this kit, don’t be alarmed by the look; this is a very healthy and happy scoby family. The second photo is the “mama” that comes in the kit and the baby scoby at an earlier stage of development on May 27th, third photo is from May 10th with the baby scoby very young, thin and hard to tell apart from the yeast and the “mama” scoby quite thick and easy to see in comparison. Very healthy and happy, just very young. I’m sharing these earlier “ugly duckling” stages so anyone brand new (like I was) doesn’t freak out unnecessarily and feel the need to send a concerned email with a bunch of photos to a kombucha group for analysis (like I did). LOL! Though feel free to do so. They are so helpful and reassuring; told me I was blessed with a beautiful baby scoby! 😄

I am super happy with this purchase. Being a novice at making any kind of kombucha, I was really anxious to start. But the instructions were very clear and the kit really has everything you need for your first batch. Since then, I've made 7 batches of jun kombucha and I love it! I've been told that using green tea for kombucha is not conventional, but it has a really nice and bright flavor ( I use jasmine tea) and so delicious!

I wanted to have a variety of brews to make at home so purchased this as I already have experience with kombucha and thought this would be an easy next addition. The SCOBY and pellicle took a bit to get acclimated but now that it is it is brewing Jun tea within 3-4 days and then it’s ready for 2f. Excellent flavor profile and healthy robust culture. Lots and lots of carbonation if that is some toons you want. Highly recommended!

A little disappointed in that the advertised photos show a large bag of tea but it’s only 1/3 oz of tea. You’ll need to buy more tea. It’s almost a joke. Luckily I bought extra and bought 48oz of honey because they didn’t list the details of how much you’d actually get. But 1/3 oz of tea is a joke. You need more than that to make your first batch.

The overall kit was good. The scoby I received did not produce another scoby. When I received the kit, the scoby package was ballooned with no give to plastic. Tried it anyway. I believe that the scoby was no good. I let it brew for over 3-weeks temp was never below 72 degress for the first few days. Maintained 75 degrees after I got a heater for it for the rest of the time. It never produced a new scoby.

I am so happy that I purchased this Jun kit. I am able to brew more than enough to cover my bottle a day addiction. This saves me between $20 and $30 a week at the store. Plus I get to customize my own flavors. So far my favorites are white dragonfruit/ginger, mango/ginger, blueberry/basil, and raspberry/goji berry/hibiscus. I have a long list of flavor combinations I want to try. I ran into a slight glitch with my second batch due to temperature, customer support was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and got me right back on track. I highly recommend Fermentaholics.

UPDATE: seller contacted me and made the transaction right, sent all products. This product was supposed to be a kombucha starter kit with like 5-6 items included. It does NOT contain a scoby, no thermometer, no instruction booklet or other starter kit items as described.

I am a huge fan of kombucha but this is my first time actually making it and the whole experience brought me right back to 8th grade science class and using the ph strips. i ended up needing to call customer service and was able to chat with Jerry. Just want to say that Jerry was extremely patient and had lots of helpful information about the process. I have not tasted it yet. that will be another review, but overall i would recommend this product and Fermentaholics as your embark on your kombucha journey

It did not grow a new scoby. However I used the origin list one for the next batch. Hopefully it turns out as well as the first batch!🤞🏻
