They are two drinks with millions of people who enjoy their healthy properties -more in the case of the second than in the first- but the came with tea is in fashion. One usually accompanies a good dinner or lunch, it is served in cups to share with others and, in general, it is used in different gastronomic experiences. For their part, infusions with teas of all kinds of spices are perfect allies at different times of the day. Whether to improve digestion, sleep better or just take a hot mug in cold times. But what happens if we merge both liquid formulas?
A peculiar mix of contrasts
It can be really strange or even generate rejection but the truth is that the union of tea with wine it's a trend that has been popular for a few years. It is already a custom in certain parts of the planet and unique and exclusive products have even emerged that contain both drinks in their recipe. Later we will reveal some highlights of the current market but first we want to delve into this combination that is nothing more than one peculiar mixture of contrasts.
Any variety of tea or infusion is worth it, but it does not consist of directly pouring this liquid together with a wine (although you can try the experiment). Its preparation occurs in companies that are already making some products by mixing the two protagonists of a curious recipe but what is liking. Why? Well mainly because the objective is to highlight the hidden flavors of each drink but in a way that complements and does not overlap each other.
Varied sensations according to the choice
Of course, the key to a successful merger always depends on the mixed proportions as well as the types of tea and wines selected. In any case what you should get are varied sensations both in aroma and taste. The tasting can give you notes bitter, sweet and even very aromatic. Depending on the combination you are betting on, you enjoy one or another experience on your palate. Now, you must shuffle certain knowledge so that the test does not become something undrinkable. So if you do not want to obtain a disastrous result, we advise you to combine the loose leaves of different teas with specific varieties of wine.

Poet and the Gik Live proposals
And we are not going very far because here in Spain we have the example of Poet, came with tea who launched a startup Spanish -Gik live- in 2018. This firm that first became popular for creating a surprising blue wine it also innovated with other proposals. The authors of this novelty in groundbreaking drinks were Tadeo Cortés -a tea importer from the India- and Taig, maker of signature wines. Both entrepreneurs met on a trip to the aforementioned Asian country and immediately decided to develop their idea.
It merged the two passions of the two into a single product that was born after months of testing flavors and aromas until finding the varieties that best fit. They definitely put out a range of three types of wines Poet: Ghazal (a Merlot with Malasa chai tea), Sonnet (a red with earl gray) and Haiku (a target with Sencha green tea). The common formula mixed the three cultures - Indian, English and Japanese - with the most tradition in the world of teas with the wine drink.
