Is it actually alcohol-free, or dealcoholized?

Never alcoholized. It is brewed from tea and carbonated, so no alcohol is made and none is removed — which is a different process from a dealcoholized wine. The label reads 0%, and that is the producer stating it rather than a rounding of something smaller.

Does it contain caffeine?

Yes. It is brewed from real tea, so BLÅ carries about 5.4 mg of caffeine per 100 mL — well under a cup of tea, but not none. Worth knowing if you are pouring it late, or for someone avoiding caffeine.

How long does it keep once opened?

About three days in the fridge, and it loses its bubbles faster than a still drink would, so a stopper is worth using. That is the honest reason the half bottle exists — about two and a half pours, opened and finished, with nothing left standing to go flat.

How should I serve it?

Well chilled, between 39 and 45°F, in a white wine glass rather than a flute. It carries real aroma and a narrow glass throws it away. The bottle has a Champagne cork — untwist the cage and ease it out, no corkscrew.

Behind our choiceWritten August 2026

Michelin kitchens pour this, and not as a gesture — it holds its own on the table, through a course, against food. The Darjeeling first flush leaves a real tannin at the back of the palate, doing the work grape skin does in wine, while the jasmine and white teas carry the aromatics. This is tea making its own case, not standing in for something else.

About BLÅ

Six bottles of BLÅ, which is the one most people are handed first. Jasmine and white tea over a Darjeeling finish — floral without being sweet, and structured enough to sit on the table with the food rather than only before it.

This is the case to buy for a season rather than an evening. Thanksgiving, Christmas, a run of people coming through the house — BLÅ is the bottle that suits a toast and still works poured alongside a meal, so six of it covers the whole stretch without needing a second decision each time.

Pouring it

About Copenhagen Sparkling Tea Company

Everything from this producer

Sommelier-built tea blends treated the way a winemaker treats grapes.

“some of the best no- or low-alcohol drinks I have ever tasted”

Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com

In 2010, Jacob Kocemba was working the floor of a Michelin-starred kitchen in Copenhagen. The chef changed a dessert at short notice, and with more than seventeen hundred wines in the cellar behind him there was nothing on the list that worked with it. What he poured instead was a tea he had blended himself. Guests began asking for it by name.

Hundreds of trials later he had the basis for a range. In 2017 he partnered with Bo Sten Hansen and they sold their first bottle in Copenhagen that May. It is poured today in Michelin-starred restaurants around the world. When Fortnum & Mason first stocked the teas in London, the window read "Tea but not as you know it."
