Mizudashi meets the oak barrel.
Thea Placida draws from the Japanese Mizudashi tradition, a slow cold-water infusion that reveals the finest tea aromas without bitterness. This gentle extraction is then finished on selected oak chips to bring roundness, structure and complexity.
Carefully chosen botanicals complete each expression to create a beverage that evokes the world of natural wine, without alcohol. A first in Canada.
