Substance is a label created by Myrko Tépus and Nicolas de Groot, dedicated to fermented
artisan lightly sparkling natural drinks made without alcohol. The idea is inspired by vignerons to create gastronomic drinks that have similar complex aromatic profiles and textures to wine. Myrko himself makes wines in the Gorges du Verdon in Provence from naturally-farmed vineyards. The origin of the drinks comes from spring water that has its source in the Verdon gorge, in which high grade organic Sencha tea is steeped and fermented with organic French sugar beet.
Appreciated for its powerful aromas, reminiscent of smoke, burnt wood and leather, Tarry
Lapsang Souchong black tea was created during the Qing dynasty, in the village of Xingcun at an altitude of 900m. Timut pepper is a rustic spice originally from Nepal. It is not actually a pepper but a berry from the rue or citrus family.
Deep woody aromas enriched by notes of smoked tea and floral undertones then dried citrus and grapefruit and finally Szechuan pepper. Long intriguing finish.
