EDINBURGH, UK – 7 November 2025 — Every year, as the nights draw in and a festive chill fills the air, the search begins for that one taste that truly defines the season. It's a search for warmth, for comfort, and for a touch of indulgence. Today, I am thrilled to announce that the search is over.
Our limited-edition Spiced Quas is back, and this year, it's better than ever.
The heart of a craft business isn't just about what we create; it's about how we listen. Last year, you told us you loved our festive drink, but you challenged us to elevate it. You wanted a deeper, more resonant warmth and a complex spice profile that truly sings of the holidays.
We heard you.
We embarked on a year-long journey with our community, holding tasting sessions with over 500 people. Your feedback was our blueprint. Driven by your insights, we've used advanced extraction technologies to unlock a new dimension of flavour, creating a beverage that is brighter, bolder, and more beautifully balanced.
It begins with an aromatic wave of ethically sourced single-origin spices from Zanzibar supplied by our friends at Ujamaa Spice Co. You'll first notice the festive warmth of cinnamon and fragrant cardamom, followed by the deep, resonant notes of nutmeg and clove. The bright, zesty character of real orange cuts through beautifully, before a complex whisper of star anise rounds out the profile.
Finally, there's a new, satisfying kick of warmth that builds with every sip - a gentle heat that makes this drink truly unforgettable. The feedback has been incredible. One taster summed it up perfectly:
My usual winter drink is mulled wine, but this is a game-changer. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. — Customer Testimonial
What if that perfect festive flavour could also be genuinely good for you? This is where our Spiced Quas truly shines.
At its core, this is the Quas you know and love. Brewed from our unique sourdough culture, it's a sophisticated, non-alcoholic beverage that's designed to be gut-friendly. It delivers over 20% of your daily recommended prebiotic fibre intake and beneficial postbiotics, all with the low-sugar promise you expect from us. It's the perfect way to embrace the festive spirit without compromising your wellness goals - the ultimate healthy Winter beverage.
As the creators of the UK's first authentic kvass, quality is at the heart of everything we do. While our original flavours have been recognised with Great Taste Awards, our Spiced Quas is crafted with that same award-winning dedication to authentic, natural ingredients.
This isn't just a drink for us; it's the culmination of a year's worth of passion. We believe we've created the UK's most exciting non-alcoholic festive drink, and we cannot wait for you to make it a part of your tradition.
