An alcohol-free sparkling wine seemed, for a long time, like a contradiction in Portugal, the country of the year-end toast, of the glass at the end of the day, of a long sparkling tradition. It was precisely in that space that TÉVA was born, the first Portuguese 0% sparkling tea: a dealcoholized wine base brought together with green tea and natural botanicals in an artisanal process carried out in Portugal. The result keeps the ritual (the bottle, the bubble and the toast) and what more and more people no longer want at the table. This is how it works, and how it came to be.

What an alcohol-free sparkling wine really is

Start with the essential: an alcohol-free sparkling wine is not grape juice with gas, nor a sophisticated soft drink. The base is real wine, from which the alcohol is removed and which is then worked to preserve the complexity we associate with a good sparkling wine. It is this distinction that sets the category apart from the improvisations, and makes it genuinely interesting for people who truly love wine.

At TÉVA, one step changes everything: the dealcoholized wine meets green tea and natural botanicals. The tea gives back freshness and a delicate, floral character; the botanicals add depth. The brand calls it Sparkling Tea: a new category, halfway between the vineyard and the cup.

The full ritual remains intact: a 75 cl bottle, fine bubbles, the glass, the toast. What stays out is only the alcohol, and the label leaves no room for doubt: 0% alcohol. For those who want to go one step further, there are zero sugar versions as well, with a seal of their own. Served well chilled and poured slowly, it behaves exactly like the toast it stands in for.

The story of Portugal’s first 0% sparkling

“Between the vine and the tea, a new tradition is born.” The phrase sums up the ambition of TÉVA. Portugal has always known how to celebrate with sparkling wine; what was missing was an answer for the moments when alcohol has no place: the working lunch, the drive home, the training weeks, the midday toasts, the guests who prefer not to drink. Each of those moments kept its sparkle; only the alcohol was missing.

TÉVA was created to fill that space, with a clear position: to be a pioneer in Portugal, with artisanal production and natural ingredients. No shortcuts, no imitations: instead of copying what already exists, TÉVA asserts its own character, where the elegance of wine and the delicacy of tea meet in the same glass. It is craft in Portugal in the fullest sense: decisions made by hand, from the blend to the bubble.

Two flavors, one toast: Passionfruit and Redberries

TÉVA arrives in two expressions, made for two states of mind:

• TÉVA Passionfruit: tropical, fresh and exotic. The intensity of passionfruit meets the delicate character of a sparkling tea. The choice for sunny afternoons, light dinners and moments that call for a vibrant, different note.
• TÉVA Redberries: fruity, vibrant and captivating. A blend of red berries that delivers an intense, refreshing profile. Perfect when the toast asks for color and energy.

Both flavors come in the classic version and in a zero sugar variant, always in a 75 cl bottle, crafted by hand in Portugal, because, as the brand says, there is Portugal in every bubble.

A new ritual for toasting

There is a TÉVA phrase that says more than it seems: ‘More than a drink, a moment.’ That is why an alcohol-free Sparkling Tea makes sense: what stays in our memory is rarely the alcohol content. It is the table set for dinner, the conversation that lingers, and the toast that begins the evening.

With TÉVA, the calendar widens. You can open a bottle on a Tuesday night. You can toast at Sunday lunch without weighing down the afternoon that follows. You can bring a bottle to a business lunch, offer it to whoever is driving, serve it at a brunch, or celebrate good news at the end of a training day. And for the guests who prefer not to drink, the host finally has an answer that does not apologize. The toast stops depending on the “right” occasion, it now depends only on the wish to celebrate. A new ritual for toasting, available every day.

The story of TÉVA is, in the end, the story of a simple question: what if the best toast didn’t need alcohol? The answer fits in a 75 cl bottle, between the vine and the tea, with bubbles rising slowly. If you would like to meet the first Portuguese 0% sparkling tea, the Passionfruit and Redberries flavors are waiting for you.
