Review

This is a really nice, light, sparkling drink – my sister loved it.  Made from delicate and high quality teas, it has lovely light, dry tannin induced astringency which has been balanced with just a little sweetness and flavours of strawberries and rosehips to produce a delightfully subtle and refreshing drink that won’t leave you bloated.  There is not too much sugar either (it carries just 12 calories per 100ml).  All in all, it is a very classy sparkling iced tea.

But there are some drawbacks: the caffeine level is quite high (150 mg/litre) which is nearly as much  as a normal cup of black builder’s tea (200 mg/litre), and, above all, the price is exorbitant at £18 per bottle.   So to drink this you must either really love it or have very deep pockets (and easy access to Fortnums).

Makers Notes

Highlighting complex flavours and remarkable layers, the palate opens with notes of tropical fruits, cranberry, hints of ginger, and deep layers of Darjeeling – complemented by light, fresh Japanese Sencha. Delicate tannins from the teas and hibiscus lend firm, precise structure and herbal complexity, whilst a nose of raspberry Pavlova, sherbet, wild strawberries, elderflower and oolong delivers a wonderful freshness. The finish is long and satisfyingly round, with white tea, a touch of baked dough and delicate spice inviting the next sip.
