We love everything about summer. There’s always something happening, and the hot weather calls for chilled beverages to accompany those laid-back summer mornings, afternoons, nights or early mornings too!
Have you tried Copenhagen Sparkling Tea? If you fancy bubbly and are after the finer things in life – this could be your new summer drink.
Copenhagen Sparkling Tea, brought to you by Tettiera, combines Nordic innovation and Asian tea traditions, presenting an organic low or nonalcoholic sparkling drink based on the careful selection of exclusive tea sorts.
Low alcohol, uncompromised heavenly experience
When it’s hot, we sometimes consume more alcohol than we would like to. Gulping down your drink may leave you lightheaded and unable to consume more with bad consequences the day after. Copenhagen Sparkling Tea offers two options – one which is low in alcohol and the other with no alcohol at all – perfect for all the family, expecting mothers or those who would rather skip alcohol altogether.
Serve your guests something uniquely fresh
Just like Christmas, Summer calls for catch ups with loved ones who we invite over for the traditional barbeque or terrace get-together.
Sparkling Tea is not only refreshing but a sheer celebration. The bubbles play beautifully on the palate whilst the tea provides earthy umami, inspiring, ‘joie de vivre’… what the French describe as ‘exuberant enjoyment of life’. Although many may think that Sparkling Tea is to be served as an alternative to dessert wine, think again! If you’d like to serve up something refreshing, give the usual Rosé or Sparkling wine a break, and try this out. We’d love to hear what you and your guests think about it.
How to Serve Copenhagen Sparkling Tea
It’s time to bring out your chilled flutes. Serve the chilled Sparkling Tea with cooked or raw seafood for the ultimate, classy combination. Otherwise, if you’re not into fish, with some soft cheeses like brie cheese as the bubbly cuts perfectly through the fattiness in the cheese. We promise you and your guests won’t be disappointed.
The ultimate bottle for that sneaky midweek romantic beach date
Stock up your fridge with some sparkling tea because you never know when an opportunity might hit! As it takes longer to get dark, stepping into the car for an impromptu date with your love interest, or simply getting together for a casual catchup with friends by the sea, is what summer is all about. The lower alcohol is gentler on the stomach, but also guarantees you can keep up those intellectual conversations for longer, whilst ensuring you are fresh as a daisy the next day for a productive day at the office.
Take your pick from our selection of Copenhagen Sparkling Tea
LYSERØD (o% Alcohol), the lighter and more aperitif-like of the options out there. The various types of tea from different locations in Asia give LYSERØD a rather Asian character. LYSERØD’s presents floral and herbaceous notes from the Darjeeling and Oolong teas, an almost smoky berry character from the hibiscus and the subtle umami character coming from the Japanese tea, which contributes with an almost seaweed kind of aroma and taste. You must be gentle when pairing food with this sparkling tea in order not to overpower its subtle notes.
Another Sparkling Tea, BLÅ (o% Alcohol), starts out with delicate aromas of Jasmine, chamomile, and a hint of citrus. This is followed by a round taste from the careful selection of white teas and accompanied by good complexity and depth from the green teas. It ends in a long finish joined by comfortable tannins created by the Darjeeling First Flush. The colour is light green with yellow nuances.
BLÅ is the perfect alcohol-free aperitif. It also pairs beautifully with various starters, vegetarian or light mains, and most desserts.
RØD(5% Alcohol), is our alternative to sparkling Rose. The hibiscus provides a ruby red colour with pleasant bitterness and crisp tones of red berries. It’s a perfect match for appetisers, seafood, fish and white meat. It is not as sweet as the others and slightly bitter and dry, thanks to the defining hibiscus with a longer aftertaste from the black teas.Pairs fantastically with light and white fish, meat and seafood in particular.
GRØN (5% Alcohol) has crisp notes of citrus and green tea. The addition of white tea creates a freshness that makes it ideal as an aperitif, paired
with sushi and other dishes from the Asian kitchen. It provides a fresh and crisp experience with a comfortable level of acidity, balanced with the softness from white tea with a lovely underlying hint of umami from green tea.
