Jancis Robinson Names Copenhagen Sparkling Tea NoLo Drink of the Week — Zepeim U.S. Distributor

We’re thrilled to share that Jancis Robinson—esteemed Master of Wine, author, and educator—has spotlighted Copenhagen Sparkling Tea as her “NoLo Drink of the Week” in the highly respected NOLOs column. Paired with praise like “spectacularly good,” this recognition from Robinson signals exceptional quality in the growing non-alcoholic and low-alcohol marketplace.

At Zepeim, we're honored to be the exclusive U.S. importer and distributor for Copenhagen Sparkling Tea—now more accessible than ever to American chefs, venues, and connoisseurs.

Why Jancis Robinson’s Endorsement Matters

Jancis Robinson is among the world’s most respected wine authorities. Her annual “NoLo Drink of the Week” is a rare honor—having only named a NoLo item three times—making this spotlight truly meaningful. Each selection is based on rigorous evaluation across taste, innovation, packaging, and true hospitality relevance. Robinson's endorsement often leads to heightened attention from sommeliers, hospitality professionals, and sympathetic consumers.

As of August 1, 2025, her “Copenhagen Sparkling Tea” review published in the NOLOs section reflects both its taste and technical craftsmanship: the tea is praised not only for its “spectacularly good” flavor but also its innovative bridge between Nordic tea sensibility and sparkling beverage structure.

Why Copenhagen Sparkling Tea Deserves the Acclaim

• Developed by Danish sommelier Jacob Kocemba after hundreds of tea blend trials;
• Available in 0%;
• Contains complex layers from white, green, oolong, black, hibiscus, and jasmine-infused teas;
• Carbonated to a champagne-like mousse (5 bar pressure) and rested for optimal integration; bottled only after 6–8 weeks of maturation;
• Served in more than 80 Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide; also launched at Fortnum & Mason under “Tea—but not as you know it.”

Robinson awarded her highest-ever NoLo score—17 out of 20—to both versions she reviewed, underscoring its spectacular balance and finesse.
