Lavender Chai

Lavender Chai is a non-alcoholic sparkling tea produced by Pettersson & Munthe, the company founded and owned by Caroline Munthe Mossvall and Karin Pettersson. It is one of three Sparkling Teas in the producer's lineup alongside Green Tea Rhubarb and Oolong Bergamot. Rather than dealcoholizing a wine, Pettersson & Munthe builds its sparkling teas from a combination of hot-brewed and cold-brewed teas, tea extracts, botanical ingredients, and natural juices, and the products are not fermented. The producer states that it selects tea with bold, full-bodied flavor to replicate the tannin sensation found in fine wines, giving the sparkling teas a wine-like character, and works closely with Sweden's top flavor developers.

According to Pettersson & Munthe, Lavender Chai brings together the spiced depth of chai with a cool hint of lavender and a warming twist of chili and bergamot.^[1]

Lavender Chai is made with chai tea, green tea, chili, lavender, bergamot, and rhubarb, with grape juice for sweetness.^[2]

Chai Tea & Green Tea -- Spiced Backbone. Chai tea provides the spiced depth at the core of the blend, with green tea forming part of the tea base. The drink contains tein from the tea.^[2]

Lavender, Chili & Bergamot -- Aromatic Botanicals. Lavender contributes a cool floral note, chili a warming twist, and bergamot a citrus lift to the spiced chai base.^[3]

Rhubarb -- Tart Accent. Rhubarb is among the ingredients and appears in the tasting notes.^[2]

Grape Juice -- Sweetness. Grape juice is used to provide sweetness.^[2]

Palate. Pettersson & Munthe lists tasting notes of chai tea, cardamom, lavender, chili, and rhubarb.^[2]
