We’ve gathered all of our favourite celebratory tea drinks for you to explore and enjoy.
Welcome Drink
Rose Petal Black Tea Royale
Welcome your guests with the romantic warmth of Rose Petal Black Tea – a hand-fired Fuding black tea blended with naturally vibrant rose petals for an intoxicating floral aroma and deep, malty richness. Serve it warm on arrival or turn it into a syrup to add to sparkling wine for a Rose Petal Black Tea Royale for a decadent first impression.
Hojicha and Prosecco Cordial Fizz
Cheers to our Hojicha and Prosecco Cordial Fizz. A sparkling treat that blends AVANTCHA Organic Hojicha Powder with the bubbles of prosecco. A drink made for Christmas brunches, winter days, or shining nights that call for a toast.
Sparkling Hojicha
If Sparkling Hojicha is new to you, get ready to be amazed. Our Organic Hojicha Powder brings its signature toasty, nutty flavour, and when paired with fizzy bubbles, the result is magic. Light, refreshing, and a little unexpected, this Sparkling Hojicha is perfect for sipping on winter days or as an early evening aperitif without the alcohol.
Matcha Violet Kir
Floral, effervescent, and elegantly unexpected, this Matcha Violet Kir is a delicate fusion of French charm and Japanese vibrancy. With sparkling wine, fragrant violet liqueur, and a vivid layer of AVANTCHA Matcha Ceremonial Grade Kagoshima Natural Farming, it’s a show-stopping apéritif that tastes as stunning as it looks.
After Dinner
Bon Bon Hojicha
Warm, toasty, and deliciously layered, this Bon Bon Hojicha puts a decadent twist on the classic Spanish Latte. Made with AVANTCHA Organic Hojicha Powder, sweetened condensed milk, and topped with bold espresso, it’s a café-style treat with rich, roasted depth and creamy indulgence. Perfect for cosy Christmas mornings or a quiet evening by the fire.
Mocktail
Lucidity Mocktail
A delicate AVANTCHA Organic Chamomile Blossoms infusion balanced with the tropical taste of pineapple and zesty limes for a long, cooling drink. We call it our Lucidity Mocktail, created in collaboration with Giffard.
