What is Pét Nat Tea?

Pét Nat Tea is a uniquely crafted beverage resulting from the fermentation of sweetened tea with a symbiotic colony of yeasts and bacteria (SCOBY). This natural fermentation process imparts a distinct tangy and complex flavor to the tea, creating a delightful and refreshing drink.

Pét-Nat stands for "Pétillant Naturel" and is the name for sparkling wines that are made using the traditional "Méthode Ancestrale" method. Instead of grapes, we use high-quality organic teas for our Pét Nat Teas, which are fermented naturally. This process creates a unique taste experience with complex aromas and a sparkling freshness.

Why does it contain alcohol?

Our Pét Nat Teas naturally contain alcohol as a byproduct of the fermentation process. Our recipes are crafted to produce a unique flavor profile, and the alcohol content typically ranges between 1.5% and 3%. While this places our beverages above the threshold for non-alcoholic drinks, it adds to the nuanced and complex taste that sets our Pét Nat Teas apart.

Why are the teas aged in the bottle for several months?

The extended bottle aging period is a deliberate part of our process. It allows the flavors to mature and develop, resulting in a more refined and harmonious taste. This patient approach contributes to the unique qualities that make Pét Nat Teas stand out.

Is the product shelf-stable?

Yes, our Pét Nat Teas are shelf-stable. The fermentation and bottling process is designed to preserve the integrity of the beverage. However, for the best taste experience, we recommend consuming it within a reasonable timeframe.

What makes your Product so special?

Our Pét Nat Teas are a living testament to nature's artistry. Unlike many commercially produced beverages, they remain unfiltered and unpasteurized, allowing the beneficial live cultures and subtle flavors to thrive and evolve over time. This unique approach mirrors the complexity and depth found in fine wines.

Packed with beneficial probiotics, our Pét Nat Teas remain unfiltered to preserve the full spectrum of flavors and nutrients they naturally develop. The gentle bubbles are a result of a natural fermentation process, similar to sparkling wines, creating a refreshing and authentic experience in every sip.

We take the time to age our Pét Nat Teas in the bottle, allowing the flavors to develop and deepen, resulting in a distinctive and nuanced taste profile. Just like a fine wine reflects the character of its grapes, our Pét Nat Teas preserve the unique characteristics of the tea leaves used in their creation, offering a truly authentic tea experience.

What ingriedients do you use?

Our goal is to produce the highest quality Pét Nat Teas. That's why we only use the finest ingredients and place great value on transparency.

The first and most important ingredient is high-quality tea leaves. These come from sustainable agriculture and are carefully picked and processed to preserve their natural taste and aromas.

To start the fermentation process, we add natural sugar to the tea. This comes from sustainable agriculture and provides a subtle sweetness without compromising the authentic tea taste.

The heart of our Pét Nat Teas is a living culture that is responsible for the natural carbonation and the development of the complex flavor profile. This culture is completely harmless and even beneficial, contributing to the liveliness of our product.

Whats that thing floating in the bottle?

Don't worry, it's perfectly normal! It's a by-product of fermentation composed of 95% cellulose. These floating fibers are a sign that your kombucha is completely unfiltered, unpasteurized, and full of life. You can safely drink them or simply strain them out.

Are Pét Nat Teas healthy?

Pét Nat Teas offer a range of potential health benefits associated with fermented beverages. The natural fermentation process introduces probiotics and other compounds that can be beneficial for gut health.
However, it is important to note that Pét Nat Teas are still alcoholic beverages, and alcohol can be harmful to health in general. It is important to be aware of the potential risks before consuming alcoholic beverages, regardless of their production method.

STORAGE & ENJOYMENT

  • For optimal freshness, store the bottles in a cool, dry place, preferably upright.

  • To enhance the drinking experience, we recommend chilling the bottle for several hours before opening. For best results, place the bottle in the refrigerator the day before serving.

  • Due to its carbonation, we advise opening the bottle slowly and carefully, similar to how you would handle a bottle of sparkling wine or champagne.

  • We recommend consuming the Pet Nat Tea within 3 days of opening to ensure the optimal flavor experience. It's best to use a sparkling wine or champagne stopper to seal the bottle airtight between tastings. Store the bottle in the refrigerator after opening to preserve freshness.
