Jun, or Jun Kombucha is a different type of Kombucha. This one is made with honey instead of sugar, and (mostly) with green tea. To find out more about Jun, please check out our "Jun Bärbucha Kombucha" blog entry from February, 2018 (by clicking here) Jun is less popular than Kombucha, and for that reason there's less information available about it. We've been making it since 2016, and we've been selling Jun Scobies since 2017. That means 10 years of experience already. In ou

How to take care of your Kombucha Culture (Scoby) when you are not making Kombucha! Plus some additional answers to FAQs. We get asked quite often by our customers about Scoby care in between brewing, or when taking a longer break. Since this is something that our Photo-by-Photo Instruction Manual (which is included in our Kombucha Set) does not cover, we have decided to clear a few things out in this blog entry. Let's start with the title: Scoby Hotel is simply a glass conta

This is a partial re-post of our latest blog entry from our sister website at Café Bärbucha Since it is also about drinks (including Kombucha), we have decided to post an introduction to to this blog. The rest you can read by clicking the button below. "When you think about describing foods or/and drinks, there are certain aspects which automatically come to mind. These are the physical aspects like: the taste (good, bad, OK, exquisite, etc), the flavor (sweet, salty, bitter,

This is an additional part to the Kombucha 101 series. In the previous parts we have concentrated on all the important ingredients which are integral parts of Kombucha (Water, Tea, Sugar and Scoby), as well as the Fermentation process. We have also taken into account the brewing vessels, and their influence on the final result. Still, there is one more aspect which was left out. And it is also quite important, as it influences how Kombucha tastes, but that influence happens

In this blog entry (unlike the posts from previous years), I will only describe specials made with new teas, skipping those specials which are re-runs. Re-runs are always welcome, as they are always good-tasting, and eagerly awaited by our steady customers (us included). The way our specials run is quite simple. We feature three different teas (in the form of Kombucha) which are usually available throughout the whole month. That gives enough time for our customers to get them

Wenn du neu in der Kombucha-Welt bist und deine erste Scoby Kultur kaufen möchtest, kann es schwierig sein, sich durch die verschiedensten Angebote im Internet durchzuwurschteln. Wenn du in deiner Nähe einen Kombucha-Hersteller findest (eine Seltenheit), der zufällig auch ein Ladengeschäft hat (noch seltener), in dem er Scobys verkauft, ist das fast wie ein Sechser im Lotto. Ansonsten kann die Auswahl des richtigen Herstellers ziemlich schwierig sein. Welche Optionen hast du?

When you are new to Kombucha and you want to buy your first Scoby, it can be quite challenging to go through all the offers and options which are available online. If you have a Kombucha producer in your neighborhood (a rarity), who happens to have a physical retail store (even more rare) in which he/she sells Scobies, that might be comparable to winning a Lotto. Otherwise, it can be a daunting process to pick the right one. Usually the options are like this: eBay, Amazon, an

We are continuing with single-tea Kombucha specials, as well as with other botanical substances, which are traditionally brewed like teas. Normally, it would take a lot of separate blog posts to write (and to read), I will just highlight most of those specials by briefly describing the tea that each of those specials are made with. And it will also be an ongoing post till the rest of this year. The current Kombucha specials will be listed on top of this post (so just below th

Single-tea Kombucha specials add quite a variety to our standard Kombuchas which are available all the time. These specials usually run for up to a month, but some of them can be available for only one week - all depends on the amount of tea that we have on hand. Some of those specials are returning teas that I already wrote blog entries about. Some are returning seasonals, like Stinging Nettle. And the rest, new and exciting teas. Since it would take a lot of blog posts to
