Ama Brewery Lau Milk Oolong Pet-Nat Tea (Kombucha)

Kombucha premium or pét-nat tea as Ama Brewery calls it, is a novel concept of a lightly sparkling beverage, low in alcohol content but full of flavor, resulting from the fermentation of carefully selected tea varieties and herbal infusions. LAU is an olfactory explosion, full of generous aromas and intriguing favors.

LAU Milk Oolong is made from this rare and exquisite blue tea, or semi-fermented, which places it between green and black teas. The tea used for LAU is grown west of Taitung in the southeast of the island of Taiwan.

The water used to make the tea comes from the Alzola spring, Izarraitz Massif, in the Basque Country.

Elaboration: Once in contact with the bacteria and yeast cultures, the infusions, prepared with spring water, begin to ferment. Both precision and balance are critical in the transformation of kombucha. These factors, together with continuous evolution and bottle aging, are what allow Ama to become its own distinctive being.

Aging: Ama sparkling tea is aged in bottle for at least six months. It will continue to improve over time and can be aged for at least three more years.

Tasting notes: notes of chestnut, caramel, and milk tea with an unctuous mouthfeel. Pale golden colour with elegant bubbles.

Food pairing: LAU is a great accompaniment to a wide variety of products, from butter, cereals and artichokes to pork loin, bacon or duck. It also pairs very well with spicy foods, as well as being an exceptional way to end a meal.

When to drink: Ideal both as an aperitif and to accompany different types of cuisine. This kombucha is a new effervescent and delicious low-alcohol beverage for the modern lifestyle.

Best served at 9-11ºC in a white wine glass. Handle and open carefully to preserve the bubbles. The sediment (the small particles of lees resulting from fermentation, also known as SCOBY) present in each bottle can be served or kept in the bottle.

Alcohol content 2%. 750 ml sparkling wine bottle, closure of crown cap.

A batch of 262 bottles of this LAU was bottled on 05/02/2022, with a recommended consumption date before mid-2026. But like wine, it evolves and ages in the bottle!
