Unified Ferments Rhododendron

Looking for something bold, botanical, and totally alcohol-free that still feels elevated? This is a drink you’ll reach for when you want a grown-up sip that surprises the senses without overwhelming you.

Why it works as an alcohol alternative:

• 🌲 Rich botanical flavor that feels complex, like a cocktail, but without the booze

• 🔪 Bright edge from tannins; refreshingly different, not just sweet or fruity

• 🌟 A balanced flavor profile that holds up in a wine glass or when you want something special

Tasting notes:

• A tart and buttery baseline, thanks to wild-harvested Labrador Tea (also called Rhododendron or Greenland Lemon) from Quebec

• Flavors layered in: fir, Asian pear, cedar, juniper, dill, and even a hint of watermelon candy

Bonus for the curious connoisseur:
This tea comes from wild harvests up north, giving it earthy depth and subtle herbal tones most commercial kombuchas skip. The ferment sharpens and highlights bright tannins that give structure — a texture-and-taste combo rare in non-alcoholic drinks.

How to enjoy it:
Serve chilled at white wine temperature so the botanicals open up but remain sharp. Pairs beautifully with seared scallops, rich creamy salads like a kale Caesar, roasted squash risotto — or any dish that makes you think “this would be great with a Chardonnay.”
