SAICHO Sparkling Tea Gift Pack - Darjeeling (750mL)

SAICHO Sparkling Tea Gift Pack - Darjeeling (750mL) is a premium, non-alcoholic bottled sparkling tea beverage, designed to offer a sophisticated drinking experience similar to champagne or sparkling wine. It is an ideal gift choice and also suitable as an elegant drink for various occasions.

• Brand Story: SAICHO was founded by husband-and-wife team Charlie and Natalie, both of whom hold PhDs in Food Science. Since Natalie could not drink alcohol, they wanted to create a non-alcoholic beverage that could pair with meals just like wine, offering complex flavors. The brand name "Saicho" is derived from the Japanese word "最上 (Saijō)," meaning "the best" or "supreme."

• Flavor Profile: This tea features Darjeeling's distinctive muscatel grape notes, along with aromas of citrus, ginger, and woody spices, complemented by a soft, dry tannin structure.

• Tasting Notes: The body is a silver-gold color. The aroma carries fruity hints of peach and orange. The mouthfeel is crisp and delicate, harmonizing well with food without overpowering the ingredients' natural flavors.

• Single-Origin Tea: Uses black tea from the Gopaldhara Tea Estate in Darjeeling, India. The leaves are hand-picked in summer, when their flavor is at its most intense.

• Cold Brew Process: Utilizes a cold brew technique, where the tea leaves are steeped at low temperatures for 24 hours. This method extracts a more refined, balanced, and complex flavor profile while reducing bitterness and astringency.

• Low Calorie: Contains only 22 calories per serving (125ml).

• Serving Method: Recommended to be served well-chilled in a champagne flute to best appreciate its aroma and bubbles. After opening, it should be refrigerated and consumed within a few days.

• Food Pairings: This tea pairs wonderfully with a wide range of dishes, particularly excelling alongside roasted meats, grilled vegetables, charcuterie boards, and lasagna.

SAICHO Sparkling Tea Gift Pack - Darjeeling is a premium sparkling tea crafted for those seeking a sophisticated non-alcoholic beverage. From the selection of tea leaves to the production process, it strives for perfection, aiming to deliver the complex flavor and drinking experience of a fine wine. It is an excellent alternative to champagne or sparkling wine.
