Green tea has been known to mankind for a good five thousand years. It is considered the origin of all teas. Our Herbal Garden No. 9. also starts with it. As one of two main ingredients, green tea with its grassy, fresh flavours provides the special spice: the mild and gentle taste.

In our Blooming Rose, Tea Royal No. 7, Ceylon tea is responsible for the subtle floral notes. They are never overpowering, but can always be clearly tasted. Incidentally, the name of the black tea reveals its growing region: until 1972, Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon.

Grape seeds and grape skins are essential when it comes to the full-bodied flavour of Tea Royal. They provide the necessary tannins and bitter substances. As winegrowers, we can always use grapes from our own organically farmed vineyards. A great stroke of luck.

Greek mountain tea gives Herbal Garden its lemony, minty flavour. There is also a slight hint of cinnamon. As one of two main ingredients, mountain tea is highly valued in our country. It is also valued in Greece for its alleged healing properties.

When we look at our orchard, we are not only delighted by the fruit that ripens in it, but also by the lavender that adorns the meadows. It also enhances our sparkling tea with its flavours. The lavender is sweet and tangy and reminds us a little of rosemary.

In spring, when our lime tree blossoms, its tantalising scent attracts bees, butterflies and insects. We also find its special aromas beguiling: from aniseed and camomile to elderberry notes. The aroma is floral and warming in the glass. Irresistible.

Its name is as lovely as its colour is picturesque. The delicate salmon pink colour of Blooming Rose can be traced back to the hibiscus blossoms that form the base together with the black tea. The flowers also contribute to the flavour: They give Tea Royal No. 7 a fruity, citrus flavour.

Their speciality is actually wine. But the three winemaker friends from southern Styria like to break new ground. Just like in spring 2024, when their creativity led to a special drink: La Maison Tea Royal. A non-alcoholic sparkling wine with a delicate flavour that could just as easily be a sparkling wine.
