Terroir & Craftsmanship

  • The Majestic Himalayan Foothills: This sparkling tea is sourced from the prestigious Gopaldhara Tea Estate, situated at an extreme elevation of 2,000 metres. The pure mountain air and mineral-rich soils yield a summer flush Darjeeling black tea with an incomparable muscatel profile.
  • Precision Cold Brewing: Saicho employs a dedicated 24-hour cold-brewing process in local English spring water. This slow extraction coaxes out the tea’s highly delicate volatile aromatics and complex flavors while leaving bitter, harsh tannins behind.
  • The Champagne-like Finish: To transition from a garden brew to a celebratory table drink, the tea is delicately carbonated and balanced with a touch of grape juice. This creates a fine, persistent mousse and a beautifully rounded mouthfeel.
  • Globally Acclaimed: Saicho’s collection is proudly poured in over 120 Michelin-starred restaurants across 25 countries—including culinary institutions like Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester, Otto e Mezzo Bombana, and Rosewood Hotels.

Highlights

  • Single-origin summer flush Darjeeling black tea harvested by hand from Gopaldhara Tea Estate, India.
  • 24-hour cold brewed in Shropshire using local English spring water to ensure pure flavor expression.
  • An exquisite, zero-alcohol alternative designed to bring the ritual and sophistication of tea to the fine dining table.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Shimmering amber-gold core with a lively, fine, and persistent sparkling bubble trail.
  • Nose: Intensely aromatic and inviting, opening with vibrant citrus notes of mandarin peel, warming ginger, and refined wood spices, layered with sweet mountain air.
  • Palate: Beautifully balanced and highly detailed. A gentle, champagne-like effervescence reveals ripe orchard fruit flavors and distinctive, elegant muscatel characters. A touch of grape juice adds subtle weight, leading into a dry, clean, and gently spiced finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve chilled (6–8°C) in a white wine glass or champagne flute to properly focus the delicate wood spice and mandarin aromatics.
  • Food Pairing: Saicho Darjeeling’s structured, spicy profile pairs spectacularly with grilled meats, slow-cooked roasted vegetables, and intensely flavored main courses.
  • Asian Dining Pairing: Outstanding alongside Peking duck, tandoori meats, or wok-fried dishes featuring rich, savory soy reductions.
