The Frizzantea Sparkling White is the white variant of M&S's fermented Darjeeling tea range. The format here is the sparkling white listing, sharing the same production approach as the Brut: black tea leaves from Darjeeling are gently fermented over several weeks until they develop a light fizz and a character closer to sparkling wine than to iced tea. Peach and blackcurrant are the signature flavours that the fermentation process produces — stone fruit and dark berry notes that emerge naturally from quality Darjeeling rather than being added separately. The tea's muscatel quality is part of the texture, contributing a gentle tannin grip that stops it reading as sweet despite the sugar in the recipe. It's vegan-friendly and sits at 0.5% ABV. As an alternative to wine at the dinner table, it's more distinctive than most dealcoholised options in the M&S range — the starting point makes it genuinely different.
