Sparkling Tea

BLÅ | Bottle 75cl

Description

Sparkling Tea's BLÅ cuvée is currently the most accomplished non-alcoholic sparkling drink, specially designed for gastronomy. Created by award-winning Danish sommelier Jacob Kocemba, this innovative drink offers a complex and refined tasting experience. Certified 0% alcohol, BLÅ is the most versatile cuvée in the range, with an aromatic profile reminiscent of the elegance of a Blanc de Blancs Champagne. It is the ideal choice for sophisticated tasting, from the beginning to the end of a meal. It is a cuvée with sweet notes and an added sugar content of 50g/l. In the range, the LYSERØD cuvée is the least sweet with 20g/l, while the LYSEGRØN cuvée is in the middle (40g/l).

The Art of Blending and Infusion

The unique taste of Sparkling Tea is the result of a careful selection of organic ingredients. Instead of fermenting grapes, the process involves infusing around ten varieties of tea at different temperatures and for different lengths of time to capture the full richness of the aromas.

The Selection of Teas

The BLÅ blend is based on a delicate harmony between several families of teas:

• White, Jasmine, and Chamomile Teas: These provide delicate, floral aromas.
• Green Teas: These offer complexity and structure.
• Darjeeling 1st Flush: This prestigious black tea marks the finish with supple tannins.

The history of Sparkling Tea

Sparkling Tea was born from the imagination of Jacob Kocemba, a Danish sommelier who wanted to create a non-alcoholic drink that could rival the best wines on gourmet tables. Inspired by the complexity of the world of wine, he transposed the concept of terroir to tea, selecting leaves from prestigious regions such as Yunnan and Darjeeling.
