Rooibos is the base here, chosen partly for its naturally sweet, low-tannin character and partly because it carries no caffeine. Ginger juice and ginger natural flavouring are added alongside a portion of green tea and agave inulin for prebiotic fibre. It is part of the HOLOS sparkling tea range, so there is no SCOBY fermentation and none of the tartness you get from the kombucha bottles. The carbonation comes from sparkling water. The pour is a warm copper-amber with light effervescence. The aroma has the characteristic dried fruit and faint vanilla of rooibos alongside fresh ginger heat. On the palate the ginger comes through clearly — peppery and warming — with the rooibos providing a smooth, low-tannin base. Natural sweetness from the rooibos is present but not heavy, balanced by the ginger bite. The finish is warm and clean. This is the HOLOS sparkling tea for people who want something with a bit of heat. The caffeine-free angle makes it viable as an evening drink.
