Astringency

The structural drying sensory profile balanced via milk proteins and precise sugar ratios.

Astringency refers to the pleasant clean drying sensation produced on the palate by premium tea polyphenols providing essential balance against rich dairy components.

Failing to balance astringency results in drinks that feel either unpleasantly harsh and bitter or overly cloying thick and heavy on the tongue.

The Base balances natural tea astringency with exact dairy protein ratios creating clean crisp signature profiles that keep customers coming back.
