Song Cha: A Modern Revival of an Ancient Tea-Based Spirit

It was in China, during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), that a tea-based alcohol appeared for the first time. Its inventor, the poet Su Dongpo, was a brilliant polymath: painter, judge, philosopher, calligrapher, governor, magistrate, tutor to the future emperor Zhezong, and... for his personal consumption, a tea distiller. Unfortunately, the recipe was lost over time until the creation of Song Cha in the 21st century.

Reviving an Ancient Recipe with a Modern Twist

Song Cha, or the Tea of the Song Dynasty, is indeed the revival of Su Dongpo's ancestral recipe. Song Cha is a true innovation, as it represents not only a new product but also a new category in the world of spirits.
