Water
Water used as a solvent for tea and botanical infusions and as the liquid medium for fermentation.
How water is prepared
Extracting an ingredient into a liquid or fat. Temperature and duration depend on the documented application.
Assam black tea infusion in the undated retailer description.[1]
Infusion is documented; temperature and extraction time are unspecified.[1]

Solo Prodotti Italiani product description captured 12 September 2026; the page is undated. Proportions describe that source, not a verified current batch. Genmaicha infusion is listed at 43%; the rice, not the tea, is toasted.[2]

Official ingredient panel and caption posted 5 September 2026. The Lapsang is dried and pine-smoked. Earl Grey brings bergamot character; this does not assert addition of separate bergamot fruit or juice. The older retailer Tibicos recipe is not combined with this panel.[4]
Fermentation with a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) that contributes bright acidity.
Callmewine product description captured 12 September 2026; the page is undated. These are source-described preparations, not a verified batch formula. The black tea is described as Assam.[1]
Solo Prodotti Italiani product description captured 12 September 2026; the page is undated. Proportions describe that source, not a verified current batch. The separately listed black-and-green-tea kombucha component is 26%.[2]

A short mixed-culture fermentation in which reusable water-kefir grains turn a sweet water, fruit, or botanical infusion into a lightly sour, gently sparkling base. For no- and low-ABV beverage work, its value is structure: acidity, dissolved CO2, residual sweetness, and soft lactic roundness can make a blend feel integrated without relying on alcohol.

La Gola, 24 January 2025, gives the four-component recipe. This remains dated source evidence, not a verified current batch formula. Tibicos is 12%; the undated Callmewine capture describes its sugar-water fermentation with kefir grains. La Gola and Callmewine disagree about which tea base is fermented; that kombucha composition remains unresolved and is not assigned here. Only the retailer claim’s explicit Tibicos clause supports sugar-water fermentation here; its disputed kombucha-base account is not adopted by this connection.[3][5]
