Kombucha Milky Oolong

Sparkling Tea. Unfiltered, unpasteurized, non-alcoholic – Made from Milky Oolong tea from the Fujian province of China.

Unmistakably lactic, captivating from the first sip: notes of peach, lychee and white-fleshed fruit in a glass of alcohol-free bubbles.

Funky Fermenteria's Milky Oolong Kombucha

Milky Oolong Kombucha is the most elegant creation from Giulia Faraon's lab: just four ingredients—water, sugar, Milky Oolong tea, and live kombucha culture—for a non-alcoholic sparkling drink that's unmistakably lactic and captivating from the first sip, quickly releasing notes of peach, lychee, and white-fleshed fruit, with a decidedly sweet and velvety profile. The Milky Oolong is a semi-oxidized tea native to Fujian, China, whose leaves are enveloped in milky vapor during processing to amplify the creamy notes of the infusion: sweet and velvety, it glides into tropical aromas reminiscent of pineapple and coconut milk. Unfiltered and unpasteurized: if you find a baby scoby in the bottle, it's the artisan's signature.
 
 
 

The roots of this Sparkling Tea are deep in tradition

Oolong means "black dragon," and Fujian—the Chinese region overlooking the sea, the mother of nearly all the great teas in history—is the lair where this dragon was born. Here, masters invented semi-oxidation, the art suspended halfway between green and black tea that gives oolongs their legendary complexity. Milky Oolong is the most seductive of the family: a descendant of the Jin Xuan cultivar, the "golden lily," it conquered the world with its natural creaminess, reminiscent of milk and flowers, so surprising that it fueled legends about its origins. Transforming it into sparkling tea is the latest evolution in a thousand-year-old tradition: the fermentation of kombucha, also born in Asia, which gives the black dragon a trail of bubbles.
 
 
 

Choosing Milky Oolong Kombucha means taking care of yourself

Live, unfiltered, and unpasteurized, this sparkling tea preserves all the beneficial microbes of fermentation: the friendly microorganisms of the microbiota, the organic acids into which the SCOBY transforms sugar, B vitamins and enzymes, along with the antioxidant polyphenols of oolong tea. With just 23 kcal and 4,5 g of sugar per 100 ml, zero fat and zero salt, it's the smart alternative to sparkling wine for toasting: the same elegance in the glass, the same complexity on the nose, but with a boost of gut health in place of alcohol. A toast your microbiota will reciprocate.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Milky Oolong Kombucha

• THE TOAST AND THE FUNKY VERTICAL – Serve it very cold in the flute as a sparkling aperitif: and for the complete tasting of the workshop, combine it with the Kombucha Verbena and Helichrysum: two worlds, creamy and botanical, on the same tray.
• YEASTED DOUGH AND SPOON DESSERT – His kingdom, as the house suggests: brioche bread, butter leavened dough and Traditional Organic Panettone holidays find in its lactic profile the perfect echo: try it with a panna cotta Forest Honeydew Honey or with organic spelt and chocolate baguette at the end of the meal.
• THE SPICY SOUTHEAST ASIAN – The velvety sweetness puts out the fire of curries and Thai dishes as coconut milk would: and for home mixology, try it as Giulia suggests with gin infused with tea and Thai basil, or in a mocktail with ice and a piece of India 70% organic dark chocolate to nibble on next to.
