Lyserød is the perfect alcohol-free alternative to a sparkling rosé. It is the driest version of Copenhagen Sparkling Tea, yet still smooth and round in its taste. Enjoy intense aromas of red berries and red apples. A complex and comfortably dry taste follows, thanks to the oolong tea, combined with hints of blackberries and hibiscus. It’s balanced by the smooth Silver Needle white tea and finishes with light bitter fruity notes. The color is a light pink rosé.
About Silver Needle Tea: Silver Needle is the highest quality white tea available, and it is famous throughout the world for its impeccable flavor and aromatic fragrance. This premium white tea is grown in the mountains of the Guangxi Province (southern China) at an altitude of approximately 1,000 meters above sea level. When brewed properly, the resulting liquor of the Silver Needle tea will be a bright clear apricot color with a strong fresh and aromatic aroma that has delightful floral nuances. The resulting flavor is very smooth and mellow with no astringency or sharpness, and a lightly sweet floral aftertaste. White tea is one of the most delicate tea varieties because it is so minimally processed. It is harvested before the leaves are opened fully, and the young buds are still covered by fine ‘white’ hairs. Furry hairs are considered a sign of quality. Picking and choosing is done by hand.
About Oolong Tea: Lyserød is made from Happy Valley oolong tea, which is the second oldest tea estate of Darjeeling, the Happy Valley estate. It is grown at an approximate altitude of 2,100 meters above sea level. This organic tea is a very special one that combines the typical taste characteristics of oolong with the distinctive muscatel notes of a Darjeeling, giving this tea a wonderfully nutty and fruity taste. Oolong is neither a black tea nor a green tea; it falls into its own category. Oolong leaves are semi-oxidized. This means that during production, oxidation is initiated, controlled, and halted at some point before the leaves are considered fully oxidized. The flavor profile of some oolongs may lean more toward a fresh green tea (less oxidized) and others toward a malty black tea (more oxidized).
Pairing Suggestion: Lyserød pairs beautifully with light dishes within the salty kitchen. It goes especially well with seafood and particularly oysters. When the sun is out, it’s a sure hit!
Cocktail Suggestion: Tea spritzer with Italian bitter liqueur and hibiscus syrup (optional).
