Bottled tea spirit mixer launches in UK
Non-alcoholic drinks producer Benjamin & Blum has announced the UK launch of its collection of “rare” bottled teas designed for mixing with spirits.
Benjamin & Blum’s bottled tea range can be mixed with whisky and other spirits
The range includes two varieties – Darjeeling White Peony, which is grown at high altitude in Darjeeling and picked once a year; and Connoisseur Oolong, which is grown in New Zealand.
The teas are then cold-brewed in Britain in small batches using Scottish spring water and then mixed with a “dash” of starflower honey from the Cotswolds and a “hint” of orange.
Each infusion is then hand-bottled in bespoke glass decanters.
“Our products are not just to complement fine spirits; they can be enjoyed on their own as a refined non-alcoholic beverage,” said Paul Benjamin, founder of Benjamin & Blum.
“We want to offer something new and sophisticated for consumers who do not wish to drink alcohol, and the demand is rising for alcohol-free drinks with complexity and elegance.”
Benjamin & Blum’s bottled teas are now available to purchase at Selfridges for £25.95.
Last year, the “world’s first” non-alcoholic distilled spirit, Seedlip, launched to fill a gap in the market for a “sophisticated alternative” to alcoholic drinks.
