A Fresh, Citrusy Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Tea from Copenhagen
🇩🇰 From Copenhagen, Denmark
Bright citrus, crisp green apple and delicate bubbles make Copenhagen Sparkling Tea LYSEGRØN a refreshing choice for an alcohol-free aperitif. This elegant sparkling tea brings together layered green tea flavours, a subtle mineral character and a long, lively finish, ready to pour before dinner or alongside a plate of fresh seafood.
Created to bring a fresh, citrus-led expression to Copenhagen's non-alcoholic range, LYSEGRØN offers a distinct alternative to the dry LYSERØD and floral BLÅ. Hand-picked organic teas give it complexity and character without alcohol, with a clear appearance and delicate green nuances in the glass.
Tasting Notes
Complex aromas of citrus, green tea, minerality and apples introduce a lively, elegant palate. Notes of citrus, lemongrass, Earl Green Sencha and orange peel unfold in layers, lifted by delicate bubbles. The finish lingers with hints of Darjeeling and green apples, keeping each sip fresh and expressive.
How to Serve & Food Pairings
We recommend serving chilled in a sparkling wine or white wine glass to enjoy its citrus and green tea aromas. Pour as a fresh alcohol-free aperitif, or bring it to the table with oysters, caviar, fish and seafood. Its bright character and fine bubbles make it a natural partner for delicate seafood dishes.
The Teas Behind LYSEGRØN
West Lake Dragon Well green tea: Grown in China's Zhejiang Province at around 500–650 metres above sea level, this celebrated tea has a fresh, verdant character with savoury, nutty and creamy notes. The leaves are hand-picked and manually processed by skilled tea masters, then hand-roasted on the day they are picked. The roaster works by touch, carefully judging the heat and dryness of the leaves to develop their delicate aroma and mellow taste.
Sencha green tea: Harvested in spring in Zhejiang Province, this mild, aromatic tea offers a delicate, sweet aroma and refreshing flavour. A gentle astringency adds a lively edge, complementing LYSEGRØN's bright, citrus-led character.
For green tea, the freshly picked leaves are slightly withered and then heated to prevent oxidation before drying. This helps preserve their green character and fresh flavour. The careful handling of these teas is part of what gives LYSEGRØN its layered, elegant profile.

About Copenhagen Sparkling Tea Company
The story began in 2010, when award-winning sommelier Jacob Kocemba was working at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Copenhagen. Despite a cellar of more than 1,700 wines, he could not find the right match for a dessert. His solution was a homemade extract blending carefully selected teas. It became a favourite with the restaurant's guests and sparked an entirely new direction.
Hundreds of trials followed as Jacob explored how different teas could build the flavour, structure and complexity normally associated with wine. In 2017, he partnered with Bo Sten Hansen, bringing together Jacob's flavour expertise and Bo's business development experience and passion for gastronomy. They founded Copenhagen Sparkling Tea Company and sold their first bottle in Copenhagen on 26 May 2017.
Their ambition is to create exceptional low- and non-alcoholic sparkling drinks through tea. Across the range, blends can contain up to 13 different organic teas, from delicate white teas to more full-bodied black teas, with each expression offering its own character. From that first restaurant experiment, Copenhagen Sparkling Tea has reached more than 50 countries and is served at more than 100 Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide.
