Saicho

Official Sparkling Tea Partner

For centuries, wine and tea have shaped how cultures gather. In Europe, wine became the language of dining - an expression of terroir, time, and craftsmanship. In Asia, tea evolved into an art form - a ritual of refinement and connection perfected over generations.

Saicho is where these traditions meet. Founded by husband-and-wife team Charlie and Natalie Winkworth-Smith, this award-winning British brand unites Britain's culture of craft with Hong Kong's deep-rooted tea heritage to create a new expression of fine dining.

Each bottle begins in the world's most revered tea gardens - from the foothills of Darjeeling in the Himalayas, to the mountains of Fujian, to the highlands of Shizuoka Prefecture. Hand-selected, single-origin teas are gently cold-brewed in England using Shropshire spring water, preserving delicate aromatics and natural complexity. A refined sparkle enhances their clarity and depth, resulting in a profile that is both elegant and bold.

Today, Saicho is served in over 120 Michelin-starred restaurants and luxury five-star hotels across more than 25 countries worldwide. It is not an imitation nor an alternative, but a sparkling tea that honours tradition while redefining celebration through contemporary craftsmanship.
