Advent Tatratea
Tatratea’s versatility makes it a great companion for the festive season

Born in the heart of the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia, Tatratea is a unique herbal liqueur made with black tea, natural fruit extracts and herbs. The brand captures the purity of its surroundings, combining mountain water and craftsmanship to create a one-of-a-kind beverage described as ‘both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition’.

Tatratea comes from a small, family-owned distillery where generations of passion and expertise combine to guarantee that each bottle meets the highest quality standards. Every step of the process, from selecting ingredients to the maceration techniques, is managed with care, resulting in an authentic product.

The molasses and prime fruit distillates-based liqueur is made with ingredients left to rest and infuse for up to eight weeks in a tank, allowing them to gently mix. The brand offers a wide range of tea liqueurs at different alcohol strengths and colourful designs, including the Original at 52% ABV, Apple & Pear at 67% ABV, Peach at 43% ABV, Coconut at 22% ABV, Citrus at 32% ABV, Forest Fruit at 62% ABV and Outlaw at 72% ABV.

The liqueur’s versatility makes it a great companion for the festive season, whether as a key ingredient in cosy hot drinks by the fireplace or sipped neat during holiday gatherings. Plus, the sleek and modern bottle design with bold typography will make Tatratea a centrepiece on the Christmas table, reflecting the spirit’s character.
