Sparkling tea box
Cold-brewed sparkling tea is a fun way to steep tea in summer.
For our sparkling tea box, Anna has selected four of her favourite teas with floral or fruity base notes which are beautifully accentuated when steeped in cold, sparkling water.
Sparkling tea is the perfect alternative to champagne. Serve it at the beginning of an event to create a celebratory vibe or to ring in Christmas morning.

It was started in 1859 by a Scottish tea company who then passed it on to one of India’s pioneering tea families, the Prakashes, whose hands it remains in today.
Each tea is 20-grams (1 gram of tea per 100 mls sparkling water - the same leaves can be cold brewed multiple times). The teas are packaged in our small gift box. *please note you will need to purchase your sparkling water separately.*
The gift box includes a card to introduce the box to the gift recipient, instructions on how to cold-brew the teas in sparkling water (sparkling water is not included in the box), and our tea steeping and tasting guide. And of course, the teas can all be hot-steeped too!
Instructions:
1. Using a funnel, add 1 gram of tea per 100 mls* into a bottle of sparkling water. Screw the lid on tightly.
2. Place in the fridge and steep for 2 hours, then open the lid very slowly (it can bubble over) and gently pour through a strainer into a serving pitcher. When ready, pour into glasses (champagne glasses work well). Garnish with edible flowers or fruit if you wish, serve and enjoy!
If your bottle is 300mls, add 3 grams of tea; if it is 750 mls add 7.5 grams; if it is 1 litre add 10 grams and so on.
Tips: - you can quickly soak the leaves in hot water first as this can make them easier to get into the bottle.
- use the same leaves for a second infusion.
- fully sparking water, not lightly sparking, works best. If you have a Soda Stream, you can use this.
