Iced Tea Made from Sonoma Grape Skins by The Republic of Tea
The Republic of Tea has recently launched its new product, Sonoma Teas. This new drink can be referred to as
tisanes, rather than teas, since the teas are made from grape skins instead of tea leaves. For the production of Sonoma
Teas, WholeVine sourced the leftover grape skins from the winemaking process at the vineyards of Sonoma County. As
the skins are too big for the traditional package, they are packed in quart-
size pouches without stings, tags nor staples. The Sonoma Teas come in 4
flavors, including Sonoma Chardonnay, Sonoma Rosé, Sonoma Cabernet
and Sonoma Mulled Zin Hot Tea. The distinctive aroma is the first thing
one will experience as soon as the package is opened, and later it is time
to taste the fruits and herbs. Like wine, the Sonoma Teas are very suitable
to be served with food; however, they are alcohol and caffeine free and
they contain no calories.
