Rich, Honeyed, and Beautifully Balanced

Step into a world of pure sensory harmony with Saicho Osmanthus Sparkling Tea, an incredibly elegant non-alcoholic alternative designed to bring luxurious complexity to your dining table. Sourced from the high-altitude mountains of Xianyou County in Fujian, China, this blend features premium Tie Guan Yin oolong tea scent-infused with golden osmanthus blossoms harvested during their brief autumn flowering season. It unrolls on the nose with an enchanting, honeyed bouquet of ripe apricot, yellow custard apple, and crisp mountain cucumber. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced, its delicate oolong mineral structure is lifted by a fine, champagne-like sparkle, offering a long, clean, and beautifully detailed finish.

Terroir & Craftsmanship

  • High-Mountain Oolong Sourcing: The backbone of this sparkling tea is Tie Guan Yin oolong, grown at 800 meters elevation in the mineral-rich red soils of Xianyou County, Putian, within China’s Fujian Province. This terroir imparts a classic structured oolong minerality to the blend.
  • The Autumn Scenting Art: During the brief autumn blooming season, the freshly harvested oolong tea leaves are meticulously scent-infused with golden osmanthus blossoms. This traditional scenting process marries the natural stone fruit facets of Tie Guan Yin with the deeply honeyed floral perfumes of osmanthus.
  • 24-Hour Cold Brew Method: To preserve the delicate, volatile floral aromatics and avoid the bitter extraction of oolong tannins, Saicho cold brews the oolong tea leaves in local Shropshire spring water for a slow, gentle 24 hours.
  • A Global Wine-Alternative: Poured alongside world-class gastronomy in over 120 Michelin-starred venues across 25 countries, Saicho's sparkling teas showcase the absolute heights of premium non-alcoholic table pairings.

Highlights

  • 100% Single-Origin Tie Guan Yin oolong tea from Xianyou, Fujian Province, scent-infused with autumn-harvested golden osmanthus blossoms.
  • Cold-extracted slowly over 24 hours in local Shropshire spring water to lock in pure flavor and smooth textures.
  • Lightly sparkled and rounded with white grape juice to construct a luxurious, champagne-like effervescence.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Shimmering, brilliant straw-gold with a gentle, persistent stream of delicate bubbles.
  • Nose: Intensely aromatic, sweet, and comforting. It opens with rich aromas of honeyed osmanthus blossoms and ripe apricot, balanced by high-toned notes of custard apple and a refreshing splash of mountain cucumber.
  • Palate: Off-dry, medium-bodied, and wonderfully harmonious. A champagne-like effervescence reveals flavors of sweet stone fruit and honeyed florals, balanced beautifully by oolong's crisp mineral structure. High natural freshness runs through the palate, concluding in a clean, persistent, and remarkably elegant finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve chilled (6–8°C). Enjoying it in a white wine glass or wide champagne flute allows the honeyed yellow fruit and floral aromatics to unfold and expand beautifully.
  • Gastronomic Food Pairing: Saicho Osmanthus' unique, textured stone-fruit profile pairs spectacularly with rich, savory dishes like roasted duck, crispy pork belly, and fresh, crisp garden salads.
  • Alternative Pairings: Outstanding alongside traditional mooncakes, roasted game bird with fruit compotes, or light, fruit-driven desserts.
