Unified Ferments Rhododendron - 750ml

An alcoholic wine alternative.

Rhododendron – also known as Labrador Tea or Greenland Lemon – is wild-harvested from the norther forests of Quebec and offers a distinctly North American profile: delicately tart, yet buttery, with hints of fir and Asian pear. Fermentation heightens its quiet complexity, drawing out bright tannins and unexpected notes of dill, juniper, watermelon candy, and cedar for a vibrant yet woodsy expression. Pair with seared scallops, kale caesars, squash risotto, or anything you would enjoy Chablis alongside.

Unified Ferments lives at the intersection of two culinary wisdom traditions: tea production and fermentation. Using impactful, single-origin black and herbal teas, founders Young Stowe and Graham Pirtle apply fermentation, intensive steeping techniques, and thoughtful blending to create unique, wine-like expressions that are worthy of stemware. You can think about these non-alcoholic wine alternatives as framing great teas and their origins in the way that wines frame grapes and their origins.
