{"title":"Sparkling Tea","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSparkling tea: alcohol-free bubbles built on tea instead of grapes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSparkling tea is a sparkling drink in which tea leaves do the work that grapes do in wine. The tea brings acidity, aroma and above all tannin, the gentle grip that makes a drink feel dry and grown-up on the palate. The result sits somewhere between a glass of fizz and a really good cup of tea: fresh, aromatic and with a length that ordinary soft drinks never reach. That is why sparkling tea has become one of the most convincing choices for anyone who wants the sense of occasion of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sparkling-wine\"\u003esparkling wine\u003c\/a\u003e without the alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCopenhagen Sparkling Tea Company: a sommelier's idea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopenhagen Sparkling Tea Company was founded in Copenhagen by sommelier Jacob Kocemba together with business partner Bo Sten Hansen. The idea came from the dining room: Kocemba wanted an alcohol-free pairing with the same complexity as the wines he would choose for a dish. The answer was blends of organic teas, assembled much as a winemaker builds a cuvée, with each tea adding its own layer. The bottles are now poured in restaurants, including many Michelin-starred ones, in a long list of countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe names follow a simple logic. The first versions, with a little alcohol, were named after colours. The alcohol-free versions took a lighter shade of the same name, so red became lyserød (pink) and green became lysegrøn (light green).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlå\u003c\/strong\u003e is built on white tea and Darjeeling, with jasmine, chamomile and citrus on the nose: the most floral and elegant of the range, and a natural aperitif where you might otherwise pour \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/champagne\"\u003eChampagne\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eLysegrøn\u003c\/strong\u003e starts from sencha style green tea and citrus, crisp, herbal and dry. \u003cstrong\u003eLyserød\u003c\/strong\u003e combines Silver Needle white tea, oolong and hibiscus, which gives colour, red berry notes and a refreshing tang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTimo \u0026amp; Co: handmade sparkling tea from Austria\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimo \u0026amp; Co is the label of Timo Weisheidinger, based in Taufkirchen an der Pram in Upper Austria. His sparkling teas are made by hand in small batches from real ingredients, with no added flavourings, stabilisers or preservatives. Verjus, the juice of unripe grapes, gives them a wine-like acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSparkling Grüner Tee \u0026amp; Jasmin\u003c\/strong\u003e combines green tea and jasmine tea with elderflower, lemon zest and a touch of hops, which adds a fine bitter edge. \u003cstrong\u003eSparkling Oolong \u0026amp; Kamille\u003c\/strong\u003e brings together Milky Oolong, green tea, jasmine tea, elderflower and chamomile for a rounder, softly creamy style.

Blå, Lysegrøn and the green tea and jasmine cuvée from Timo \u0026amp; Co shine with oysters, sushi, ceviche, asparagus and salads with citrus or fresh herbs. Lyserød and the oolong cuvée handle umami, gentle spice and a little sweetness: think Thai dishes, roast chicken, duck or a berry dessert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe well chilled in an ordinary wine glass or a tulip glass so the aromas gather.
