Born in San Sebastián, AMA was conceived by two boundary-defying chefs at the forefront of global gastronomy, together with an artisanal vigneron. Their creation represents a radical rethinking of what a sophisticated drink can be.
Elegant. Complex. Terroir-driven.
It is a celebratory experience for the curious and the conscious—one that redefines what it means to share joyful, meaningful moments while raising a glass of natural bubbles.
Naturally fermented, using exclusive techniques inspired in the Ancestral “Pétillant Naturel” method, we use the finest terroir/specialty teas and herbs sourced from small scale family farms and pure spring water from the Basque Country. Dreamed up by two Signature Chefs from San Sebastián – at the avantgarde of global gastronomy – and an artisanal vigneron. Drink it chilled, 9-11º in a wine glass. As an aperitif, at the table, in a glass, redefining what it means to share joyful special moments and drink well.
We sought out people who share our passion for land and terroir. People who believe in sustainable and organic farming methods. People who support farmers that grow plants for flavour not output.
Located in a remote part of the Shizuoka Prefecture, the Moriuchi Tea Garden was planted during the Edo period (1603–1868). It is the life work of the Moriuchi family whose ancient knowledge has been passed down generation by generation. The steep sloped gardens use organic farming methods to produce the finest, hand-picked sencha.
A herb, rather than a tea, cymbopogon flexuosus is grown on a tea garden in the valley of Ambadandegama in the Uva Highlands of Sri Lanka. The small estate grows a wild variety of native lemongrass that is hand harvested by machete and sun dried to maximise the plant’s uniquely rich essential oils.
Sourced from a very small garden in the rolling mountains of Taitung in Southern Taiwan, farmed by the Chan family. Their Oolong is crafted from a rare varietal that is renowned for its creamy softness and milky aromas.
This rare African green tea originates from Chinese seeds taken from Fujian to Malawi by way of the Royal Botanical Gardens of Edinburgh in 1921. The flavour is succulent with bold tannins and it has unprecedented levels of health-giving polyphenols. It is steamed in traditional Japanese style just like a sencha.
This unprocessed, sun-dried tea leaf comes from a hybrid unique to Satemwa Estate, with a flavour that is particular to just one field. It was founded in 1923 by the Kay family and is one of the oldest tea estates in Africa. In order to support the rich biodiversity of the region and sustainable forestry farming methods no chemical pesticides or herbicides are used.

With many years of experience as the head chef of fine dining restaurants, Dani had long been interested in the potential of Kombucha. Having built an entire career centred around the search for flavour, he knew the fermentation process could dramatically impact the drink’s structure, flavour profile and acidity, making it a natural partner to food. His network of restaurant contacts, entrepreneurship (Dani is co-founder of Bombyx Mori SL) and his own research, are now paving the way to a new category of haute kombuchas.
Ramon spent many years working in the R&D department of a fine dining restaurant and became passionate about natural yeasts and spontaneous fermentations as part of his experimentations. When a German kombucha enthusiast sent him his first scoby through the post, he started looking at the possibilities more radically and when some of his early bottles exploded after he inadvertently left them to age for several weeks, he realised aging was the key. Those that remained had reached the point of excellence he was looking for.
Sancho grew up playing among the vineyards of the 14th century Granja Remelluri estate in Rioja. His father purchased the vineyard in 1967 and from that day onwards the land never saw chemicals or artificial fertilizers, which led to his passion for artisanal, innovative and small-batch wines. His knowledge is invaluable in helping to create a premium Kombucha that is also accessible to a world market.
