How much caffeine is in Lavender Jun Kombucha?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 12 mg of caffeine. For comparison, a standard 8 oz cup of brewed drip coffee contains around 95 mg. Actual content varies with dose, water temperature, and contact time.

What temperature should I use for Lavender Jun Kombucha?

Target 80°C (176°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Lavender Jun Kombucha be extracted?

Extract for 5-8 days using F1 Fermentation Jar, at a ratio of 50ml starter per Liter, prepared at Whole Leaf. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Lavender Jun Kombucha taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid Lavender Jun Kombucha?

Check acidity, residual sugar, alcohol-by-fermentation risk, and food-safety controls in homemade versions. Use individualized guidance for pregnancy, medication interactions, allergies, reflux, or other health concerns. Do not use a beverage as a replacement for prescribed care; preparation strength can change exposure.

Where it sits

Stronger than 52 of the 345 other drinks in the catalogue, and weaker than 291.

That is 12 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 5 mg per 100 ml. The scale above ranks whole servings, and servings differ in size, so a larger drink can sit further right while being weaker cup for cup.
