Sparkling tea is brewed tea with carbonation — designed to function like dry sparkling wine at the dining table, without any alcohol or sugar.
Unlike sweet soft drinks, sparkling tea focuses on the natural character of the tea leaf: aroma, dryness, and food pairing.
Lacto-fermented tea (Bodai-Sancha) is produced by fermenting tea leaves with naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria — the same microorganisms found in yogurt and kimchi.
No bacteria are added from outside. The fermentation is driven entirely by microorganisms naturally present in the tea leaves themselves.
The process: Steaming → Anaerobic fermentation (~4 weeks) → Sun drying → Finished tea leaf.
Zero added sugar — and this is a deliberate philosophy, not a compromise.
We designed these beverages to be enjoyed during a meal, the way you would drink a dry wine. Sugar competes with food flavors and masks the natural character of the tea leaf.
