Copenhagen LYSERØD Sparkling Tea
Copenhagen Sparkling Tea LYSERØD is an organic, 0.0% sparkling tea created as a dry alternative to rosé. The driest expression in Copenhagen Sparkling Tea’s collection, it opens with fragrant red berries and crisp red apple before moving into blackberry, hibiscus and the gentle tannic structure of oolong tea. Delicate Silver Needle white tea softens the edges, giving LYSERØD a smooth, rounded texture before a lightly bitter, fruit-driven finish. Pale pink in the glass with fine bubbles, it has the freshness of rosé with the complexity that comes from layered tea.
Why We Love It
LYSERØD is a beautiful example of why sparkling tea can be such a compelling alternative to wine. It’s properly dry, nuanced and structured, with enough acidity and tannin to work throughout a meal rather than feeling like a special-occasion sip. We especially love it for customers who enjoy dry rosé but are open to something that isn’t trying to imitate wine. It has its own point of view, and that’s far more interesting.
Serve well chilled in a wine glass or coupe. LYSERØD is especially lovely as an aperitif, but its dryness, gentle tannin and bright fruit give it enough structure to carry through a meal.
Especially good with: seared salmon with fennel and blood orange, duck breast with raspberry gastrique, burrata with roasted strawberries and basil, grilled prawns with saffron aioli, or a Provençal tomato tart with goat cheese and herbs.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Fragrant red berries and crisp red apple lead, with a lift of hibiscus and a subtle floral note from the Silver Needle white tea.
Palate: Dry and structured — blackberry and hibiscus carry through the mid-palate, with the gentle tannic grip of oolong tea giving it real food-pairing versatility. Silver Needle softens the texture, keeping it smooth and rounded despite the dryness.
Finish: Lightly bitter and fruit-driven, with lingering red berry and a clean, refreshing fade. The driest expression in the Copenhagen Sparkling Tea collection.
