C. Kloss Sparkling Tea White 0.0%

C. Kloss Sparkling Tea Naturtrüb, Germany

C. Kloss Sparkling Tea Naturtrüb is an alcohol-free sparkling tea with a distinctly dry style and a remarkably layered character. What makes this Sparkling Tea so interesting? Not only its fine mousse, but especially the combination of apple, dried flowers, spiciness, and subtle bitterness, giving it much more tension than a typical alcohol-free alternative. This Naturtrüb demonstrates that alcohol-free can also be refined, serious, and gastronomically versatile.

Origin and style vision

The Sparkling Tea Naturtrüb was developed in the Moselle region, where Christian Kloss translates his experience with Sekt into a new alcohol-free category.

• Origin: The drink comes from C. Kloss's Sparkling Tea line, developed in Germany's Moselle wine region.

• Origin Story: In 2021, Kloss bought a Sekt house in the Moselle, further improved its quality, and then also focused on sparkling tea.

• Collaboration: For the Sparkling Tea line, he collaborated with a top German tea sommelier to develop drinks with greater complexity, balance, and finesse.

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

Structure and character

The Naturtrüb is all about dry freshness, fine bitterness, and a layered aromatic profile.

• Aroma Profile: In the glass, fresh notes of juicy apple, dried flowers, hay, spicy accents, and a subtle hint of honey rise.

• Fruit Expression: On the palate, the apple tone clearly returns, complemented by wild pear and a dry, crisp freshness.

• Spiciness: Vegetal notes and dried meadow flowers give the drink extra depth and a refined green tension.

• Bitterness: The fine bitterness is announced early by the mousse and gives the drink more length and maturity.

• Mousse: The powerful mousse adds tension and finesse, clearly elevating the style beyond a simple alcohol-free aperitif.

• Production: All ingredients are locally grown, ensuring maximum freshness, a short supply chain, and an artisanal, sustainable approach.
