description Jun tea Overview
Jun tea is a fermented drink made from sweetened green tea and a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, using honey as the principal sweetener. Its production resembles kombucha fermentation and typically yields a tart, lightly effervescent beverage containing organic acids and residual sweetness. Claims that Jun has an ancient Tibetan or northern Chinese monastic origin are widely repeated but are not securely documented, so it is more accurately described through its ingredients and method.
