La Maison Tea Royal No.7

Jess and I [Chris] have been trying to build a small but interesting non-alcoholic collection at the shop, but boy, it’s been challenging. Most of the options are slathered in sugar or taste manipulated. This one blew us away, and everyone we’ve poured it for has loved it. It’s made in southern Austria, right on the border of Slovenia, and its base is Ceylon tea infused with hibiscus, lavender, and lime blossom. It is sweetened, but only gently, with honey, which gives it a great texture, and the sweet element is balanced out with the tannins from grape pomace. I have no shame in sharing that I drank a whole bottle by myself the other evening!
