The Art of the Luxury Picnic
As the days grow longer and the sun begins to warm the city parks, coastlines and countryside escapes, spring and summer invite us to slow down and celebrate differently. This season, elevate the classic picnic with thoughtful details, beautiful food and perfectly chilled bottles of Saicho.
Pack the Perfect Picnic
The perfect picnic begins with preparation. Pack a beautiful wicker basket with elegant essentials, soft blankets, seasonal dishes and bottles of Saicho ready to pour. Keep your sparkling tea beautifully chilled with a cool bag, ice bucket or bottle wrap, and bring along our luxury bottle stopper to preserve every delicate bubble throughout the afternoon.
Saicho is always best served chilled in a beautiful flute glass, allowing each sparkling tea’s aroma and complexity to fully unfold with every sip.
Pairing the Feast
To Start - Hojicha & Smoked Salmon
Rich and roasted, Hojicha Sparkling Tea pairs beautifully with smoked salmon and savoury starters, complementing delicate smoky flavours with notes of toasted malt and gentle sweetness.
For the Main - Darjeeling & Grilled Dishes
Darjeeling Sparkling Tea is the ideal companion to grilled meats and charred seasonal vegetables. Its bright tannins and delicate muscatel character bring balance and freshness to smoky summer dishes.
Lighter Moments - Osmanthus & Seafood
Elegant and fragrant, Osmanthus Sparkling Tea pairs effortlessly with fresh seafood or fruit-led desserts, enhancing lighter flavours with soft floral and apricot notes.
To Finish - Jasmine & Strawberries & Cream
Delicate, floral and softly sparkling, Jasmine Sparkling Tea is the perfect finish to a summer picnic, beautifully paired with strawberries and cream as the sun begins to set.
The Finishing Touches
A beautiful blanket, a wicker basket filled with seasonal favourites and the best company, sometimes that’s all summer needs. Add a chilled bottle of Saicho, and even the simplest picnic becomes something worth celebrating.
Celebrate differently this summer.
