Behind The Bottle - The REAL Story

THE REAL STORY...

You might know REAL drinks, but do you know everything that goes into making our truly innovative non-alc drinks?

At REAL, we believe that life’s moments – big or small – deserve something extraordinary. That’s why we craft drinks that defy convention, delivering exquisite flavours that inspire passion.

Our story started in Co-Founder David’s garage 7 years ago. REAL spent a few year in a bigger location in Wendover…. But now REAL is located at the iconic Fermentery on the beautiful Waddesdon Estate in Buckinghamshire. 

At The Fermentery innovation meets craftsmanship. We craft drinks that celebrate the art of fermentation, using the world’s finest hand-picked loose-leaf teas that are naturally fermented to create drinks with remarkable depth, flavour, and complexity.

What makes The REAL Co Drinks so unique? 

It’s our slow, all-natural fermentation process. Every year, we carefully select and ferment exquisite loose-leaf teas. We add nothing, and we take nothing away!

Since 2017, we have put thousands of microorganisms to the test, selecting only the few that will combine to drive maximum flavour and deliver it consistently. And we’re testing new ones every single day.

In the same way that winemakers are obsessive about their vines and grape harvest, we are uncompromising in the way we approach our tea selection. After all, only the finest teas will go on to deliver the exceptional flavour we demand.

So go ahead – untwist the cage, pop the cork, and raise a glass and kick off moments that matter. 🥂
