Good starter, great flavor. This starter worked great for me. I think the instructions were actually made for regular kombucha if I remember correctly, so make sure you look up how to care for Jun SCOBY when you are ready to start. The flavor is great and I have made like 5 different gallon batches of Jun with this culture already. Definitely worth the initial investment if you drink kombucha regularly and have an interest in brewing your own!!Side note: I recommend using coffee filters with rubber bands to cover your brew during its first fermentation cycle to keep out dust and fruit flies. I leave mine at room temperature (about 66-72f) for 3-5 days (depends on how strong you like it) and then bottle it in swing top beer brewing bottles for another 2 days to get it carbonated naturally. Jun takes much less time to ferment than regular kombucha because its made with honey. Delicious.
