Kombucha tea is a household name for those in-the-know and has introduced health-seekers to the wellness potential of fermented tonics. Now stepping into the wellness limelight is the mystical cousin of Kombucha, Jun tea.
Both Jun and Kombucha offer a delicious dose of probiotics in addition to an energy-boost from the tea base and natural, sparkly effervescence. Both fermented teas have similar health benefits and mystical origins, they are each unique in their own right.
According to researches on ancient Chinese lore, Jun may date back to 600 BC originating in the Tibetan Himalayas. It is believed that Laozin, an ancient philosopher, gave an heirloom culture to the monks of Bon in Tibet. Brewed by these monks, the revered health tonic was (and still is) prized for its capacity to open up ‘Chi’ (energy). The Tibetan Kampha Nomads, who were also trained spiritual and physical warriors, are said to have gained knowledge on how to brew this drink from the Bonpo Monks, cosseting Jun’s energising ‘Jing’ - the essence to balance body, mind and spirit.
