La Maison Tea Royal

La Maison Tea Royal was founded in spring 2024 by three winemaker friends from South Styria (Südsteiermark), Austria. The house produces sparkling tea from this region, and its range spans beverages at 0.0% ABV alongside one wine-tea hybrid.^[1]

The three co-founders of La Maison Tea Royal are Bernhard Schauer, Johannes Firmenich, and Stefan Schauer, described as winemaker friends from South Styria. Two of the estates behind the house — Weingut Firmenich and Weingut Schauer — carry the founders' names.^[1]

Vin Royal No. 59 Sauvignon Blanc departs from the 0.0% teas: it combines sparkling tea with Sauvignon Blanc into what the producer calls a light, elegant aperitif, and carries 1.8% alcohol.^[2],[3]

Estate Sauvignon Blanc. The Sauvignon Blanc used in Vin Royal No. 59 comes from the producer's own estates, Weingut Firmenich and Weingut Schauer, located in the Südsteiermark (South Styria) region.^[4]
