As easy as it would be to refer to this Rosé Sparkling Tea as an excellent non-alcoholic alternative to Brut Rosé or other sparkling blushes, that’s really only telling half of the story. While this bright, bubbly, and charmingly floral Tea is, indeed, a great non-alcoholic option for all kinds of occasions, it’s also simply a fantastic drink in its own right. It’s made for TJ's by a supplier in Germany who takes a curated selection of premium black, green, white, and oolong tea leaves, slowly steeps them in cold water, then adds in a bit of grape must for a touch of sweetness. The resulting tea is easy-drinking, refined, and subtly complex in a way that’s reminiscent of, but delightfully distinct from, a sparkling wine, with notes of red berries, peaches, and hibiscus flower.
Best served nice and chilled, and, for full effect of flavour and aroma, in a Champagne flute or wine glass, enjoy this Rosé Sparkling Tea at any event, big or small, that calls for celebration. Use it to toast the occasion at a holiday feast with extended family, serve it during a nice weekend dinner with just those closest to you, or even just sip it slowly as a flavourful, post-work pick-me-up. As for food pairing, think much in the same way you would a dry Prosecco: roast turkey, grilled seafood, spicy stir-fries, fluffy frittatas, and fruity desserts.
