This is the Mindful Sparks Classic Cold Brew Sparkling Tea Earl Grey. It was sugar-free and contained 1.1% Earl Grey tea.

The drink was a translucent brown-grey hue with a mellow aroma of bergamot and black tea, coupled with moderate carbonation. When consumed chilled, soft citrus notes of bergamot took the lead in each sip, accompanied by a gentle hint of acidity as the black tea notes gradually emerged, imparting a nuanced malty richness. Towards the finish, the bubbles heightened the initial acidity before the black tea notes developed into a subtly sweet, rich taste reminiscent of the chocolatey notes in hōjicha, without any astringency or bitterness. The bubbles then refreshed the palate, leaving a clean and crisp aftertaste. In summary, this was an enjoyable beverage, with the combination of the cold brew method and carbonation elevating the inherent flavour of Earl Grey black tea, introducing depth with layers of new sensations and flavours.
