Jun, an exotic probiotic culture....
It's supposedly from Tibet. Has anyone ever heard of this? Tried it? Know where I can get a some of the culture? It's similar to a kombucha scoby, but one source I found claims that it is an anaerobic culture and should be brewed in a closed container. And that it uses primarily honey as a sugar and green, not black tea. I got interested because I heard about a guy brewing jun tea with chaga (medicinal mushrooms) and various medicinal herbs - I would love to try that!
Found this video on youtube - it's kind of laughable their touting it's origins by showing tibetan monks and claiming therefore drinking jun leads to enlightenment, but at least you can see what a brew of jun looks like:

Sugar from sugarcane has been around, in the tropics, for well over a thousand years. It was first tasted in England in early 1,000 AD. And there has also been coconut, palm and beet sugar for equally long : )

Yes! I have some cultured right now! A friend gave it to me from a culture he started years ago with a bottle of Herbal Junction's Jun, the people who put out your video. I first had it at their vendor booth at the Seattle Hemp fest, but I didn't know how to continue a culture then. Now they sell a kit on their website. Google herbal junction and you should find it.
Hardly anyone knows about this, wow, thanks for the video. It does taste much better, a different flavor even when you factor out the sugar burn and black tea taste. I'm not much of a soda person though, even if it is healthy. But email me for tips if you like, I've made it many different ways, it is fun stuff.

You can always ask a produce dept. employee at Whole Foods to cut one open so you can try it before you waste your money. It's store policy to let people sample things:)

"Healing With Whole Foods" by Paul Pitchford is a great veg-friendly book on Chinese food cures. Here is the spleen section on googlebooks:

LOL- yes, I meant blood vessels. I must've been typing in a hurry;) The spleen (in Chinese medicine) holds things in their place, like blood in the vessels, and organs (keeps them from prolapsing). I wonder if you had a spleen issue back when the ...
