Production Philosophy

Minimal Intervention. Konanna's Pétillant Naturel Teas are fermented and aged directly in the bottle using the traditional Méthode Ancestrale. The producer describes its wider approach as shaped by minimal intervention, organic ingredients, and trust in fermentation, without blending or flavour design.

Composition & Vinification

The declared ingredients are water, organic sugar, organic Yunnan green tea, and a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast. According to Konanna, the drink combines four distinct tea varieties from the Yunnan region of China.[1]

Organic Yunnan Green Tea — Base. Organic green tea sourced from the Yunnan region of China forms the base of the beverage, drawing on four distinct tea varieties from that region.[1]

Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast — Culture. A symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast carries out the fermentation of the sweetened tea.[1]
