Ama pét-nat tea is a new, lightly sparkling drink that’s low in alcohol but full of flavour, the result of fermenting carefully selected varieties of tea and herbal infusions. Due to its depth and complexity, BAT provides an ideal alternative drink for a variety of dining experiences.
Tasting notes Aromas of delicate herbs. Minerality, salinity, and umami with notes of seaweed appear in the mouth, with a very elegant silky texture.
A complex and harmonious drink, which is a clear expression of the land from which it comes, similar to a delicate sake. Silky on the palate. Long aftertaste. Fine bubble.
Tea Sencha Yabukita. Japan.
Origin Located in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, the Moriuchi Tea Garden was planted during the Edo period. It is the life work of the Moriuchi family who have passed their knowledge down from generation to generation. The steep gardens are cultivated organically to produce the finest, hand-picked sencha.
Water From the Alzola spring, Izarraitz Massif, in the Basque Country.
Elaboration Once in contact with cultures of bacteria and yeast, the infusions, prepared using spring water, begin to ferment. Both precision and balance are fundamental in the transformation of the kombucha. These factors, together with the continued evolution and aging in the bottle, are what allow Ama to become its own distinctive self.
Ageing Ama pét-nat tea is aged in the bottle for six months. It will continue to improve over time and can be aged for up to three years.
