BB&R English Sparkling Tea by The REAL Drinks Co. Non- Alcoholic

We have worked with The REAL Drinks Co. to create this fine sparkling tea. It is made from a single-estate, first-flush tea from the Puttabong estate in the hills of Darjeeling. The pure mountain air, unique soil and altitude at the Puttabong tea estate all give character to the tea leaves, which are hand-harvested, rolled and dried to enrich the aroma and taste.

The tea is steeped ahead of a prolonged fermentation process to create a delicious and complex alcohol-free alternative to our favourite wines. Bright in the glass, it has a fragrant nose of soft fruits, tea and dried flowers, while the palate is dry and gently foaming. It offers fruit and spice notes, with a gentle bitterness, a hint of oak and a grape-like freshness.

Unlike many sparkling wines, this won’t benefit from additional ageing. We recommend enjoying this in the next few months, served chilled.
