C. Kloss Sparkling Tea Hibiscus 0.0%

C. Kloss Sparkling Tea Hibiscus, Germany

C. Kloss Sparkling Tea Hibiscus is a non-alcoholic sparkling tea with a dry, refined style and a strikingly elegant color. What makes this Sparkling Tea interesting for wine lovers? Not only the bubbles or the freshness, but precisely the combination of subtle fruit notes, light spiciness, delicate acidity, and a mature, dry finish. This Hibiscus shows that non-alcoholic options can also have character, excitement, and gastronomic versatility.

Origin and Style Vision

The Sparkling Tea Hibiscus was developed in the Mosel region, where Christian Kloss translates his experience with Sekt into a new non-alcoholic category.

• Origin: The drink comes from C. Kloss's Sparkling Tea line, developed in the Mosel by Christian Kloss.

• Genesis Story: In 2021, Kloss bought a Sekt house in the Mosel, further improved its quality, and then decided to develop sparkling tea as well.

• Collaboration: For the Sparkling Tea line, he collaborated with a German top tea sommelier to create drinks with more depth, tension, and balance.

• Collection: The line now consists of 5 different Sparkling Teas, each with its own style and signature.

It is precisely this background in sparkling beverages that gives this Hibiscus a refinement not often found in standard non-alcoholic alternatives.

Structure and Character

The Hibiscus is built around fruit, floral tension, and a refined dry profile.

• Tea Base: The drink is made from fruit and herbal tea, providing an aromatic and smooth profile.

• Grape Juice: Mosel grape juice adds subtle fruit notes and supports freshness and balance.

• Color and Signature: Hibiscus tea gives the drink its natural color and a unique aromatic direction.

• Structure: The style is unfiltered, which provides more depth and texture in the glass.

• Mousse: With approximately 3.2 bar pressure, the mousse is lightly sparkling and elegant, without being aggressive.

• Mouthfeel: Essential oils from flowers and tea leaves provide extra breadth and a fuller mouthfeel.

• Sweet Balance: With less than 2g of sugar per 100ml, the style remains dry and refined.
