Fizzy, tart, and tangy, Junbucha, the “champagne of kombucha” has a distinctively different taste than that lingering “vinegar soda” vibe you might remember kombucha as having. 

That difference is from using green tea instead of black tea, honey instead of cane sugar. These swaps give Junbucha a lighter, more delicate, effervescent flavor profile (and adding floral notes makes it less sour).

“It’s a great alternative to alcohol during the season,” said Junbucha’s founder, Shane Avery. 

Reminiscent of sparkling cider, Junbucha promotes good gut health with its blend of raw, organic ingredients, amino acids, and vitamins that aid digestion, increase energy levels, and boost immunity.

“You’re getting trillions of probiotic and lactobacillus bacteria to breakdown food and repopulate the gut biome – it supercharges your gut.”

Gladsome Tidings Now We Bring

Not overly complicated, Junbucha skips a second fermentation, adds fresh, cold-pressed juice, and pours several servings of the fragrant elixir into jazzy 10-ounce bottles. 

“The swing-top bottles are returnable, reusable, and sustainable. We encourage reuse – it helps cut down on waste recycling and, as a small business owner, I try to do my part,” said Shane. 

Plus, recap Junbucha and it will keep for months. “It’s only going to get stronger and better for your gut.”

Drinking Seasonal Cheer

Junbucha is available in a variety of flavors including; Cherry, Ginger, Matcha, Pineapple Turmeric, Concord Grape, and Jasmine; as well as Spiced Apple and Blood Orange with Mint seasonal blends. It’s sold at eleven area farmers’  markets and online through the Lewis Waite Farm Local Food Marketplace. 

Shane, who also owns Earth to Mind Hemp Oil, said every good company needs a set of wizards, and along with his wife, Dr. Sarah Avery, founder of In Motion Integrative Physical Therapy and Moon Cycle Seed Co., there are plenty of staff and volunteers to help them with such a strong regional showing. 

“We identified early on that the markets were a great place to incubate our businesses. Because of the one-on-one interaction, we’re getting so much data at such a rapid pace that it really informs our decision-making. Every decision we make is a result of there being a demand. We were really taking a risk, but going to the markets was worth it,” said Shane.
