TerriorOur teas are sourced from specific geographic regions of China and India. Just like wine, the climate and landscape of a particular region has a great influence on the tea quality and flavour.
Our Tea BlendsOur teas are produced by artisans who spend their working lives inflecting the tea into different styles and expressions. We select and blend exquisite loose-leaf teas with the same respect that a winemaker affords their grapes. Only the finest teas will go on to deliver the exceptional flavour we demand.
Steeping Both temperature and time plays a crucial role when managing tannins and astringency. Each tea is expertly steeped to they reach their full potential — a balanced infusion of flavours and aroma that allows the delicate notes and nuances shine.
non-Saccharomyces Yeast Our process includes the introduction of a non-Saccharomyces yeast strain lauded for its properties to enhance wine aromatic, mouthfeel and overall complexity.
Prolonged Fermentation We use a prolonged 60 day fermentation allows us to manipulate the composition of our tea-based fermentation metabolites. This control allows us to promotie gluconic acid, glycerol and fruity esters which contributes to our signature zesty acidity, soft mouthfeel and fruit and floral aromas.
Gum Arabic We use Arcacia Gum (also known as Gum Arabic) which is celebrated for its transformative properties in winemaking. Gum Arabic helps balance tannin and asringency, adds to mouthfeel and helps suspend colour.
The Result A sparkling with new and exciting flavours and aromas, perfect for the wine occasion. The profile is light and dry, with floral and fruit notes and the perfect balance of tannin and acidity.
