M&S Frizzantea Rosé is the pink expression in the Frizzantea sparkling tea range, built on a base of Darjeeling tea sourced from the foothills of the Himalayas. The leaves are cold-brewed for several hours to extract flavour without bitterness, a technique that distinguishes the range from conventionally brewed tea drinks. Hibiscus and elderberry are added to give the rosé its colour and floral character. The Frizzantea range was developed with a specific aim of offering a more sophisticated option than typical fruit-based soft drinks, and press coverage noted it sits noticeably drier than most of its category. The light carbonation positions it in the frizzante style, halfway between sparkling wine alternative and premium soft drink.
