The Rise of Sparkling Sophistication: Copenhagen Sparkling Tea BLÅ, LYSERØD & LYSEGRØN

Summary: Copenhagen Sparkling Tea’s BLÅ, LYSERØD, and LYSEGRØN exemplify a new category: tea-based, non-alcoholic beverages crafted with culinary precision, aimed at health-conscious consumers embracing moderate, flavorful rituals.
1. Origins & Vision
Founded in 2017 by Danish sommelier Jacob Kocemba, the brand placed tea—not alcohol—at the heart of its design. Focusing on blends of white, green, oolong, and black teas, each sparkling beverage is cold-brewed, rested, and structured to reflect depth, clarity, and aroma.
Today, Copenhagen Sparkling Tea is listed in over 150 Michelin-starred restaurants across more than 50 countries, solidifying its position as a refined pairing beverage, not merely a substitute.

3. Cultural Relevance & Market Trends
Sparkling tea as a category is expanding rapidly. In 2023, it was valued at USD 421.5 M and is expected to grow to over USD 774 M by 2033 (Spherical Insights, Grand View Research).
Gen Z is leading the shift away from alcohol: over 60% prefer non-alcoholic options in social settings (New York Post), while beverage sales in the functional, tea-based category have surged across both retail and hospitality sectors.
Sparkling teas like those from Copenhagen are particularly favored by wellness-conscious consumers seeking sophistication without alcohol—especially in tasting menus, brunch service, and pre-dinner aperitif slots.
4. Interpretive Insight
The Copenhagen Sparkling Tea range is not merely a stand-in for wine—it’s a fully realized sensory category. Each blend demonstrates that complex, age-worthy beverages can be brewed, not fermented. The three core offerings offer structured food pairing potential while aligning with wellness trends, inclusive hospitality, and shifting consumer values.
As restaurants, hotels, and retailers rethink their non-alcoholic offerings, Copenhagen Sparkling Tea provides a compelling answer—refined, globally credible, and gastronomically relevant.
