This Specialty Cider offers a sophisticated fusion of vibrant citrus and earthy botanicals. The presence of freshly squeezed Yuzu drives a bright, high-intensity acidity that mimics the effervescence of a natural Champagne. Ceremonial Japanese tea introduces a grounding, herbal depth and a delicate tannic structure that balances the sharp fruit profile. Fermented with a characteristically dry finish, the cider evokes a 'natty' wine aesthetic with its clean fermentation and subtle wild nuances. The interplay between the tart citrus and the savory, grassy notes of the tea creates a complex, refreshing experience that lingers with a crisp, botanical snap.
Appearance.Pours a pale straw-gold (SRM 2-3) with a slight, natural haze. Displays high effervescence with rapidly rising bubbles and a thin, white, fleeting head that leaves minimal lacing, typical of the Champagne-style carbonation.
Aroma.High intensity aroma dominated by the sharp, floral, and exotic citrus of Yuzu. Background notes of earthy, grassy ceremonial green tea are evident. A clean, vinous character suggests dry apple skin and a hint of wild yeast funk reminiscent of natural sparkling wines.
Taste.The initial impression is bone dry and tart, featuring a punch of acidic Yuzu fruit. The mid-palate introduces the savory, slightly umami character of Japanese tea, which provides a counterpoint to the citrus. Malt-like sweetness is absent; instead, the profile is driven by fruit acids and tea tannins. The finish is extremely dry and clean with a lingering herbal note.
Mouthfeel.Light-bodied and very crisp. Carbonation is high and prickly, enhancing the refreshing quality. There is a very slight, pleasant tannic astringency from the tea and Yuzu zest, with a subtle alcohol warmth that is well-integrated.
