Kombucha Luisella

Earl Grey Tea with Bergamot and Lemon Verbena: Fresh, Pungent, Cheerful — Lively and Unpasteurized

Afternoon tea meets fermentation: the world's most famous tea is reborn sparkling, with the smile of the lemon verbena.

Selvatica Lab's Luisella Kombucha

Selvatica Lab's Luisella Kombucha starts with an icon: Earl Grey, one of the world's most famous teas and the most beloved for afternoon tea—a blend of Chinese and Indian black teas flavored with bergamot peel oil. Lemon verbena is added to enhance its freshness and aroma. Fermented with volcanic water in small batches and bottled, it is naturally sparkling and unpasteurized: a vibrant, vegan, and gluten-free product with a fresh, pungent, and cheerful character. Best enjoyed chilled, ideally at 9-10°C, opening carefully: the bubbles are eager to escape.
 
 
 

The roots of this Kombucha Luisella are deep in tradition

Behind this bottle lie two flavor legends: Earl Grey, the bergamot tea named after Earl Charles Grey, 19th-century British Prime Minister, and afternoon tea, the five o'clock ritual invented—it is said—by Duchess Anne of Bedford to stave off afternoon hunger, which later became a national ceremony. And there's a third story, hidden in the name: lemon verbena is known in Italy as "erba Luisa," named in honor of Maria Luisa of Bourbon—and it is from her that this kombucha takes its affectionate name, Luisella. Three elegances from another era, brought together in a vibrant Etna bubble.
 
 
 

Choosing Luisella Kombucha means taking care of yourself

A live kombucha is a sparkling sense of well-being: unpasteurized, it preserves the active fermentation cultures—it may contain culture residues and traces of alcohol, a true hallmark of a live product—and with just 14 kcal per 100 ml, it's a smart alternative to sugary afternoon drinks. Fairtrade cane sugar is largely transformed by the ferments, while bergamot and verbena provide an aromatic freshness that quenches thirst without tiring. Vegan and gluten-free: afternoon tea, rewritten for those seeking true lightness.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Kombucha Luisella

Ideal to enjoy accompanied by biscuits and shortcrust pastry, baked desserts or soft cheeses.

• FERMENTED AFTERNOON TEA — Its moment of choice: serve it in a wine glass with homemade biscuits and shortcrust pastry — perhaps with the Type 1 Spelt Flour, created specifically for shortcrust pastry and biscuits: the five o'clock ritual has never been so alive. Perfect when paired with Organic Mugello Biscuit e Cocoa and Salt Biscuits.
• SNACK WITH SOFT CHEESES — The pairing suggestion on the label: a platter of soft, creamy cheeses, where its sharp acidity cleanses the palate with every bite. Try it with First Salt Goat Soft Cornelia e Organic Stracchino e First sheep's salt.
• HOLIDAY BAKED SWEETS — With leavened products it puts on a show: try it next to a slice of Panettone with DOP Saffron, Whiskey, and Chamomile — bergamot and chamomile are sought — or with a Organic Spelt and Chocolate Sack: the signature snack is served.
