If herbal tea is yin, then prosecco is its yang. Balance, right? It is the festive season after all and it’s been a big year for everyone!

So in celebration of 2019 we fused the flavours of our Grass Roots tisane into two refreshing, vibrant tea-infused cocktails. Perfect for social gatherings all Summer long.
