Delice Roussos is called after one of the most famous Greek singer Demis Roussos.
It is fermented with local honey (chestnut, linden, and fir) that adds sweetness without adding actual sugar. Fermentation follows a 7-day maceration with oxidized apples (kept in the dark for 3 to 6 months, similar to how black garlic is prepared). After this delicious blend, Elsa infuses the beverage for 3 days with saffron from Alsace. The aroma is dominated by honey, followed by ripe apple. On the palate, there's a lot of roundness brought by the honey, which prevails, and there's only 3g of residual sugar. Honestly, from a wine lover standpoint, this is a banger.
JUN is Kombucha's ancestor. Also commonly called XUN or Champagne of Kombucha, it is called as such because it is generally softer, more delicate and less acidic than regular Kombucha. The main difference lies in the use of honey instead of white sugar.
